Weird Stuff From Movies That I Like

There are a few slightly odd things in various movies that I find really adorable, or really memorable. Here are a few of those:


Marriage proposals that went unaccepted:

Mallika proposing to Rahul Bose in Pyaar Ke Side Effects. I think it's the only time I've seen a woman propose to a man in an Indian movie. It makes the feminist in me feel really good. This proposal was eventually accepted... well, not really. Rahul Bose eventually proposed to her on his own. The original proposal went unaccepted. That makes the feminist in me feel really bad.

Shah Rukh Khan proposing to Manisha Koirala in Dil Se. He asks her to marry him. She tells him that she doesn't have the time. The poor guy is left completely dazed, trying to figure out what hit him. It's a very serious and yet hilarious scene.


Out-of-tune renditions of beautiful, classic melodies:

Ajay Devgan singing Chingaari Koi Bhadke in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. I'm not too sure about exactly what I like about this part of the movie, but I love it. Totally off key, but straight from the heart.

Imran Khan singing Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi in Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na. One of the most refreshingly different romantic scenes of all time.


Miscellaneous stuff:

Julia Roberts escaping from her wedding in a FedEx truck in Runaway Bride. The character she plays in this movie is a little insane and terrified of marriage. She tries to get married four or five times and realizes she's marrying the wrong guy and runs away. But when she was about to marry Richard Gere, she knew she was marrying the right guy but she'd become so used to running away at each of her weddings that she had the FedEx truck waiting for her right outside the Church and she made good use of it. Eventually she did marry the same guy, in an open field, where she arrived riding on a horse, dressed in a traditional white wedding dress.

Shrek and Fiona choosing to look like ogres instead of looking totally awesome in Shrek 2. They very effectively deliver the message that it's what's inside that counts. And well, they still look completely adorable!


It's so much fun, writing about weird stuff that I do or like. I should do this more often. Be prepared for more nonsense, folks.
