King Arthur Movie Tristan

Weekly Geeks suggests: On Monday it's Valentines Day here in the US, which means love is in the air! Many of us have been talking about love all month, but I thought it would make a perfect Weekly Geek-ish type assignment to suggest a post that included anything about love that moves you.



I chose favorite couple in books, movies, TV or real life.


I am a big-time sucker for romance, so picking just one favorite romantic film or book couple is virtually impossible for me. But at the top of my favorites is Gone With the Wind.

I like both the film and book, the movie possibly more. I just always love seeing Rhett and Scarlett on screen with their drama and romance. Rhett always knows how to put a spoiled Scarlett in her place, here is one of my favorite scenes when he proposes marriage to her.










Rhett: So, you see I shall have to marry you.

Scarlett: I've never heard of such bad taste.

Rhett: Would you be more convinced if I fell to my knees?

Scarlett: Turn me loose, you varmint, and get out of here!

Rhett: Forgive me for startling you with the impetuosity of my sentiments, my dear Scarlett. I mean, my dear Mrs. Kennedy. But it cannot have escaped your notice that for some time past the friendship I have felt for you has ripened into a deeper feeling. A feeling more beautiful, more pure, more sacred. Dare I name it? Can it be love?


Scarlett: Get up off your knees! I don't like your common jokes!

Rhett: This is an honorable proposal of marriage made at what I consider a most opportune moment. I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.

Scarlett: You're coarse, and you're conceited. And I think this conversation has gone far enough.






What about you? What's a favorite movie scene/couple of yours?

Scarlett: Oh, Rhett! Please, don't go! You can't leave me! Please! I'll never forgive you!




Rhett Butler: I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never understand or forgive myself. And if a bullet gets me, so help me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. There's one thing I do know... and that is that I love you, Scarlett. In spite of you and me and the whole silly world going to pieces around us, I love you. Because we're alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd. But able to look things in the eyes as we call them by their right names.

Enjoy your weekend everyone. What better way to start it off than with a fav GWTW moment? For me at least :)

Here are one of my favorite couples, Rhett & Scarlett from Gone With the Wind. I love the book and the movie version as well.












Rhett Butler: 'I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never understand or forgive myself. And if a bullet gets me, so help me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. There's one thing I do know... and that is that I love you, Scarlett. In spite of you and me and the whole silly world going to pieces around us, I love you. Because we're alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd. But able to look things in the eyes as we call them by their right names. '


Scarlett: 'Don't hold me like that!'


Rhett Butler: 'Scarlett! Look at me! I've loved you more than I've ever loved any woman and I've waited for you longer than I've ever waited for any woman.'


Scarlett: 'Let me alone!'


Rhett Butler: 'Here's a soldier of the South who loves you, Scarlett. Wants to feel your arms around him, wants to carry the memory of your kisses into battle with him. Never mind about loving me, you're a woman sending a soldier to his death with a beautiful memory. Scarlett! Kiss me! Kiss me... once... '






GWTW is one of those few films I never tire of watching. I can quote the whole thing and am pretty annoying to watch the movie with. lol I've even made hubby watch it with me and quote Rhett Butlers' part :P And he does it! That's true love in my book.
