From the classic one-liner, “Was your dad a thief? Because he stole the stars and put them in your eyes,” to the more modern twist, “Are you Google Maps? Because you just showed me the way to my heart,” there have been cheap pick-up lines for movies for decades. The list is seemingly endless, with some funny, some cringe-worthy, and some straight out of an ’80s rom-com.
Some notable mentions include “What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?” from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, “Do I Know You From Somewhere? Have We Met Before?” from She’s All That: “Was that cannon fire, or is my heart beating?” from Casablanca and perhaps the most famous “You had me at hello” by Jerry Maguire. Here are some cheesy movie pick-up lines that will make you swoon, laugh, or feel like falling in love.
10 “I may be the outlaw, but you’re the one who steals my heart.”

Fleeing the scene, the two best friends encounter a man named JD (played by Brad Pitt), a convicted armed robber. Thelma and JD love each other and spend the night together, only for Thelma to discover that JD has run off with her money. While they’re in bed, the awesomely handsome JD regales Thelma with stories of all the places he’s been robbed and Thelma is intrigued by him. She finally asks him, “You really are an outlaw, aren’t you?” To which he replies, “I may be the outlaw, but you’re the one who steals my heart.”
9 “I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
When Harry met Sally is a classic romantic comedy that explores the complexities of relationships and the idea that the person you’re meant to be with has sometimes always been right in front of you.

8 “I want all of you. Forever. Every day.”
The notebook is another classic romantic movie that has become a fan favorite. It has emotional storytelling as well as great performances from the lead actors. The movie is based on Nicholas Spark’s novel of the same name, so naturally there are several cheesy pick up lines to make viewers swoon.

Noah goes off to battle, and Allie stays and gets engaged to a wealthy man named Lon. Their story is told in a series of flashbacks of their past and present. The past is when they fell in love, and the present is when Allie has Alzheimer’s disease, and Noah tries to help her remember him by reading the notebook that tells the story of how they fell in love. During one of their fights, Noah tells Allie, “I want all of you. Forever. Every day,” which takes the cake when it comes to promises to be with someone forever.
7 “You make me want to be a better man.”
Nothing is more romantic than someone wanting to get better because they fell in love. In As well as possible in the given circumstances, Jack Nicholson stars as Melvin Udall, a cantankerous romantic fiction writer with OCD who is forced to care for his gay neighbor’s dog while navigating a complicated relationship with a waitress. When Melvin goes on a trip with Simon (played by Greg Kinnear) and Carol (played by Helen Hunt), he learns that he can be less grumpy and enjoy the best parts of life. Through his musings and growth, he offers viewers one of the sweetest, cheesiest pick-up lines: “You make me want to be a better man.”

Luckily, she’s rescued by the handsome Hitch, a self-proclaimed “love doctor” who disappointingly doesn’t use cheesy pick-up lines, but they end up together anyway.
4 “No, I don’t think I’m going to kiss you, although you desperately need kisses. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed often and by someone who knows how.”

So she decides to take control of her life by keeping a diary where she records her daily experiences, including her weight, smoking and drinking habits, and her attempts to find love.
