Enchanted April (1992)

It's April in Italy, and anything can happen...even love.

A League of Their Own (1992)

A woman's place is on home, first, second, and third.

"Careers and higher education are leading to the masculinization of women, with enormously dangerous consequences to the home, the children, and our country. When our boys come home from war, what kind of girls will they be coming home to? And now the most disgusting example of this sexual confusion: Mr. Walter Harvey of Harvey Bars is presenting us with women's baseball. Right here in Chicago, young girls plucked from their families are gathered at Harvey Field to see which one of them can be the most masculine. Mr. Harvey, like your candy bars, you're completely... nuts."

"Ladies, ladies. You can't play ball in this, you can't play ball with us. Right now, there are 38 girls getting train tickets home who will play in a bathing suit if I ask them...There is no smoking. There is also no drinking and no men. All of your social engagements will be cleared through your team chaperones. Plus, each of you will have regular classes in charm and beauty school...Every girl in this league is going to be a lady."

"Well, I was just wonderin' 'cause I couldn't figure out why you would throw home when we've got a two-run lead. You let the tying run get on second and we lost the lead because of you. Now you start using your head. That's that lump that's three feet above your ass. Are you crying?...Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There's no crying! THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!"

Prelude to a Kiss (1992)

-- "What about when I'm a 100 years old with a mustache and yellow teeth?"
-- "I'll still love you."
-- "I'm sagging down to here and I'm bald."
-- "I'll love you all the more."
-- "Sure?"
-- "Yes, I promise."

The Joy Luck Club (1993)

"I tell you the story because I was raised the Chinese way. I was taught to desire nothing, to swallow other people's misery, and to eat my own bitterness. And even though I taught my daughter the opposite, still she came out the same way. Maybe it is because she was born to me and she was born a girl, and I was born to my mother and I was born a girl, all of us like stairs, one step after another, going up, going down, but always going the same way. No, this cannot be, this not knowing what you're worth, this not begin with you. My mother not know her worth until too late - too late for her, but not for me. Now we will see if not too late for you, hmm?"

The Remains of the Day (1993, UK)

"I don't believe a man can consider himself fully content until he has done all he can to be of service to his employer."

Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

What if someone you never met, someone you never saw, someone you never knew was the only someone for you?

"Verbal ability is a highly overrated thing in a guy, and it's our pathetic need for it that gets us into so much trouble."

-- "It's easier to be killed by a terrorist than it is to find a husband over the age of 40!"
-- "That statistic is not true!"
-- "That's right, it's not true, but it feels true."

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994, UK)

Five good reasons to stay single

Britisher Charles (Hugh Grant) hesitantly declared his 'romantic' love for the about-to-be-married American Carrie (Andie MacDowell); stuttering, he referenced David Cassidy's song: "I Think I Love You": "Uhm, look. Sorry, sorry. Uh, I just, uhm, well, this is a really stupid question and, uhm, particularly in view of our recent shopping excursion, but, uh, I just wondered, if by any chance, uhm, ah, I mean obviously not because I am just some git who's only slept with nine people, but-but I-I just wondered...uhh. I really feel, umm...in short, to recap in a slightly clearer version, uh, in the words of David Cassidy in fact, uhm, while he was still with the Partridge Family, uh, 'I think I love you,' and uh, I-I, uh, just wondered by any chance, you wouldn't like to... Umm...Uh...Uh...No, no, no, of course not...Uhm, I'm an idiot, ha, he's not... Excellent, excellent, fantastic...lovely to see you, sorry to disturb...Better get on..."; she responded: "That was very romantic," and he continued: "Well, I thought it over a lot, you know, I wanted to get it just right. Important to have said it, I think...Said, uh, you know, what I, what I just said about, uh, David Cassidy" - she kissed him on the cheek: "You're lovely", but then walked off and left him standing alone.

Outside Charles' home after his own aborted wedding ceremony, Carrie arrived in the rain to apologize for causing a disruption in Charles' marriage; Charles admitted: "Marriage and me - we're very clearly not meant for one another"; he was finally able to declare his utter and true love for Carrie in the rain: (Charles: "There I was, standing there in the church, and for the first time in my whole life, I realized I totally and utterly loved one person. And it wasn't the person standing next to me in the veil. It's the person standing opposite me now - in the rain"; Carrie: "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed"); and then awkwardly, he did not ask for her hand in marriage: ("But first, let me ask you one thing. Do you think, after we've dried off, after we've spent lots more time together, you might agree not to marry me? And do you think not being married to me might maybe be something you could consider doing for the rest of your life? Do you?") - Carrie's response: "I do," was accompanied by a kiss, and the camera rose into the air to capture a lightning bolt in the cloudy sky

It Could Happen to You (1994)

A cop. A waitress. A lottery ticket.

"I told you I'd share my ticket. I never planned on sharing my heart. Maybe I could get lucky twice today."

"It's like a fairy tale."

Legends of the Fall (1994)

The men of the Ludlow family. A woman's grace brought them together. Then her passion tore them apart.

"Look at me. Please, look at me. I'll wait for you. However long it takes. I'll wait for you forever."

"Tristan, I have no where to send this letter and no reason to believe you wish to receive it. I write it only for myself. And so I will hide it away with all things left unsaid and undone between us."

Muriel's Wedding (1994, Australia/Fr.)

She's not just getting married, she's getting even.
A Story of Love, Laughter and the Pursuit of Matrimony, everyone is invited!

"When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I've met you and moved to Sydney, I haven't listened to one ABBA song. That's because my life is as good as an ABBA song."


Muriel Heslop: "I can't stay married to you, David. I have to stop lying now. I've told so many lies... I don't love you."
David Van Arckle: "I don't love you either, but I think I could like having you around."
