Start the slide show

You’ve seen Bridget Jones’s Diary 100 times (and the subpar sequel at least 50). You can recite every line from Love, Actually, even the ones in Portuguese. You’ve watched When Harry Met Sally, Titanic, Pride and Prejudice (BBC and Keira versions), and Gone with the Wind until you laughed and cried and covered your pajamas with snot. But,  what better occasion to add some new love stories to your blubbering rotation than Valentine’s Day? So, for your emotional-binging enjoyment, please find all the characters, scenes, and lines that will break your heart and restore your faith in love for the next ten years (even if you’ve already seen them). Let the ugly crying  begin!
