Melvin Declares His Love For Carol | As Good As It Gets

[@thomasmagnum3588]

Such a well-written scene with Shirley Knight getting the best line of all: “everyone wants that dear, it doesn’t exist!”

[@julieswiss1]

Exactly!

[@marhurami]

It was very funny.😂😂❤

[@AbbaDuMaineWELLNESS]

The entire casting was on point,

[@Lyrielonwind]

Wisest sentence 😂

[@skiphamilton966]

Nope, when she touched her chest after Melvin said he had to see carol.

[@Fernandez218]

2:19 i love this lady lol "everybody wants that dear; it doesn't exist" the reality check 😂😂

[@MM-yi9zn]

This film is completely unbeatable! The acting is like nothing ever seen! A double Oscar win!! Magnificent!

[@shortblockflexinit5219]

I love how the lightbulb went off in his head when he hears her say "boyfriend".

[@diegocorrea5143]

That movie is a masterpiece, all of it.. just about learning how to love and become somebody better... wonderful!!

[@jesus-on-demand]

She's dead serious sensitive and deep complex character that hates hypocrisy and he's simple easygoing but insensitive to people as he's full of himself, together they mellow each other out. Perfect match.

[@gonshocks]

A pivotal and touching moment is when he says "I forgot to lock the door". It lets you know that everything has changed.

[@fuloran1]

Woah, never caught that before! Thank you!

[@hippychick2879]

When does he say that ?

[@thesingularobserver869]

Some of the best "OK's" in cinema history are uttered by this woman.

[@TheOyeoye000]

The mom is an absolute God send.

[@allys744]

I love carol’s mother. She put a hand to he heart when she sensed Melvin was profession his love

[@aucoinroland9072]

They both won an Oscar for this . Good acting

[@andrewthacher6395]

Everything about this is wonderful, but I'm struck by how sweet and whimsical the music is - it perfectly compliments the scene.

[@GunslingerAlGilead]

5:50 she is like: cmon, continue with your cheesy lines. But then he backs his admission with examples that he really watched her, truly appreciates her as a human being. And the acting… how Helen becomes flabbergasted at first and then teary - this brings a tear to my eye too. I mean, there are many good people whose goodness is sometimes not observed or acknowledged by other people and they are left to live sad lives. Beautiful movie, a masterpiece. Fully deserved Oscars in the year when Titanic has swept almost all awards. I continue coming back to rewatch scenes from the movie or even the full movies when I feel so

[@susanstancliff2937]

I could watch this over and over! The actors,the script the scenery the music! I feel like I’m there! It just reminds me that no matter what we want, it’s worth it to go after it.❤

[@MortonLuvz2drum]

Like Groundhog Day. This movie should be played every Valentines Day.

[@di-jt6jp]

I’m not a fan of rom coms. But this is the greatest movie ever. I’ve watched it so many times that I see inconsistencies. And yet I still love this movie! It’s complex, and perfect. There are so many facets and details and characters…. And so many fantastic lines to quote!

[@albdamned577]

It is a nice touch that the script kept having Melvin trying to come up with lines, he writes romance novels, that is his job! He tries applying these lines and half the time they backfire as soon as the calculating nature is revealed.

[@contractmed1]

Jack Nicholson's line "i KNOW i can do better than that" never fails to make me smile.

[@stephie-jaxx3216]

❤😂i love that too, but it's what makes me giggle is "I'm gonna grab ya"

[@vigneshvns]

This scene! This movie, love every bit of it.

[@DSmith-e5e]

This film hits differently when you've been through life. I get his character and I was hers.

[@redhotchilifan98]

I love that this movie gave Jack a chance to show his more romantic tender side.

[@dannyvandermill9046]

It’s hard for me to bear how beautiful this film is 🥹

[@ritazanin1429]

Masterfully acted by ALL even the dogs!!

Jack Nicholson's declaration of his love to Helen Hunt was masterful !

[@nathanclark2131]

This is one of my favorite romantic comedies.

[@EvanMurphyCapstone]

I wonder how many people get him standing on the crack in the sidewalk is beyond amazing for someone with ocd ....I think people want to see him walk without thinking the whole way...would have been utterly unbelievable ....that one moment? Was more than enough...actually EXACTLY enough

[@ferreirog]

I have to say, I have this relationship with my wife. She asked me to marry her and oh well. She accepts me for who I am with all the peculiarities that Autism adds as a spice to life. Yes, she is teaching me to kiss, between the laughs and humour.

[@leonita2252]

How I adore this movie!, Both actors are exceptional!,❤️

[@gemmag.2988]

Such brilliant acting by both. I wish Helen got as much credit as Jack.

[@TaburnokPoblete]

What do you mean? Helen won an Academy Award for Best Actress, same as Jack... so I'd say she got the same credit as Jack.

[@gemmag.2988]

@@TaburnokPoblete I meant in general - Jack is universally praised whereas Helen has a much lower profile. Maybe her choice.

[@TaburnokPoblete]

@@gemmag.2988 I see. Its where they are more active in. Helen was more active in TV than films and actually won 4 Emmy awards for her roles. Jack did not.

[@gemmag.2988]

[@moviejukebox]

Nicholson is awesome ❤

[@LarryMossey]

Very few movies are so good they can make your heart actually ache.

[@axelerat0r]

Most heartwarming is the fact that she accepted him the way that he is. Some freak with "illness" but a good person. We all have our own demons inside. But i like to think that there is some person who will accept me as i am, and our demons will dance together

[@vegs0611]

Muy bonito

[@thehumanconversationalist1527]

Yep, Helen Hunt still knocks me out. & probly always will. Helen Hunt, Madeline Stowe, & Allison Janney!!! Those are my Top 3.

[@joeyboedeker2047]

One of the best!! "WHY CAN'T I HAVE A NORMAL BOYFRIEND!!"😊😊😊

[@TrueWalker88]

Helen Hunt is such an amazing actor. I have thought about this scene many times over the years. Having a partner who is just so awful in ways, but is handsome, brilliant and sees me like no one else is a dilemma. Sometimes I think, maybe this is as good as it gets. Sometimes I think that's it, I'm done and spend a lot of time mentally going through all that it would take to leave and what life would or could be like without him, or possibly with someone else, until I resign myself in exhaustion, or he redeems himself until the next time. I have a wise friend who once said that the most excellent people are often also the most difficult. The alternative is those people like most people - not that great but not that bad either. It's hard to know which version of life is more peaceful, or disappointing...

[@melissaferguson9650]

Unfortunately it's very difficult. I tried so hard with my "melvin" . But, he was not as lovable over time. ☹️

[@lovewhitey4462]

Agreed mentally unstable is like being on the Titanic 💔💥

[@Perejil1319]

An absolutely classic scene.

[@jemmajames6719]

My mother and I didn’t agree on much but we both loved this film!

[@felixciallella1290]

One of the most beautiful picture

[@carolsampietro9873]

The comedy timing is especially great here.

[@AbbaDuMaineWELLNESS]

Curious, from beginning to delightful end in this delightful scene....being a detail obsessed, amateur cinema critic(appreciater).... ....I felt a strong under surface vibe of Paris, the Marais.... Then after Melvin comes up the steps and is standing now heart to heart with the lovely Carol, on the wall beside them is a pastel print of the Eiffel tower. Perfect, by design? Sure... That made me laugh out loud. Then after that bell ringing bouquet of a compliment, and the best kiss I have ever seen in modern cinema, here I broke down in tears....and as they are walking in front of the bakery, the music here sounded totally Paris, early morning.... A well written, perfectly acted, directed, shot and edited scene. This is one of the countless reasons why I include cinema, filmmaking, storytelling, theater in my Chinese ChiGong energy healing private practice.......amen

[@geruladacul]

This movie became classic

[@Will_Fong]

Watch it while i was a teen, absolutely love the movie, its so heard warming, she basically completes him. Making him whole.

[@bryonfrye7282]

Adoro la magia que crean Helen y Jack. Genios!!

[@dionsands3113]

Kinda 1960s Paris with nice 60s paree music and freshly baked bread.

[@mariamcaleavey3444]

love the scene helen jack priceless.

[@hajji1509]

One of the best movie scenes of all time, surely.

[@thomasmcshea1843]

The romance of the story is great of course but, Helen Hunt displays the everyday sarcasm most of us deal with, and that's what makes this movie so great...."Try not to ruin everything by being you" 😅😅

[@CJPooz]

This is such a more realistic love movie scene because Melvin has to convince her that he loves her so much even after she already rejected him. Believe it or not this has happened to me a hundred times

[@philmenges9887]

Perfectly cast! You would expect nothing less out of Jack Nicholson ... and far more than you'd expect from lesser-known (at the time) Helen Hunt.

[@Johnny_RB]

This scene reminds me of what a die hard romantic I really arm.

[@jimviv6030]

Sheer brilliance all round. Loved that film.

[@jennamarsh6137]

I was obsessed with this movie when I was younger. Now I watch it and think "ugh...he's too old for her!"

[@darrylmaxwell-os7pu]

To the young man watching this...THAT is how to impress the girl that you are in love with... NOTICE the little things that others don't !!!😊

[@quickrick31]

Warm rolls are definitely a comfort food. Perfect timing! Is this really as good as it gets in life? In the world? Doubt, disgust, wisecracks, a good kiss and some rolls after 4am? Definitely not! Right?

[@penegakkeadilanpembasmikej5022]

When i first watching this movie , this movie is so boring but as i age i find this movie are really good

[@luckyme0888]

Yeah that's true. The humour is subtle. It's for mature people. It's not a regular rom-com. No character has a normal or good life overall and they try to deal with it and still keep space for real emotions. It's not easy appreciating this love story. The characters speak their harsh truths, overcome very discomforting experiences and still create a good life. This film makes you feel uneasy at times. I can't say if it's boring but unusual, yes it is.

[@Fernandez218]

2:40 lol man this is hilarious lol fucking harsh but hilarious.

On behalf of the men "why can't we just have a normal girlfriend" a someone that doesn't think your the world's worst because you don't want to go sock shopping with them on your day off. A woman that actually knows you don't care does my bum look big in this or do I look good in these high heels.
