Eleven Lessons We’ve Learned About Love From Films

Love them or loathe them, films about love and relationships often contain some very important lessons. Don’t believe us? Here’s what we’ve learned from the big screen over the years… 1. Love can build a house (The Notebook) We don’t care what anybody says, it IS possible. 2. You can have a relationship with a film star (Notting Hill) Yesssss!!!!! 3. Love always leads to a dance performance (Silver Linings Playbook) If it hasn’t, it clearly isn’t love. 4. Pottery is sexy (Ghost) That scene says it all. 5. Species doesn’t matter (Twilight) Sure he’s a vampire and could kill you at any time but he’s also really hot so you should roll with it. 6. Watermelons will get you noticed (Dirty Dancing) Baby carried a watermelon. She got Johnny. 7. You can meet the love of your life absolutely anywhere (Pretty Woman) It could happen at anytime, anywhere with anyone. 8. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, it will still work out (The Five-Year Engagement) It doesn’t matter if you’ve both cheated and one of you has lost your big toe, love can and does conquer all. 9. It’s okay to tell your best friend’s wife you love her (Love Actually) Of course it is. 10. It’s also okay to go out with your fake fiancé’s brother (While You Were Sleeping) He won’t mind, honestly. 11. Faking an orgasm in a restaurant is perfectly acceptable (When Harry Met Sally) Sally didn’t get thrown out and neither will you.
