7 Cheesy Movie Scenes We Wish Would Happen to Us

Where's our dramatic 11th-hour sprint through the airport?

We know, we know—we shouldn't aspire to have love lives that could be straight out of a movie unless we want to be seriously disappointed. The love stories might be swoon-worthy, but at the end of the day, our romantic faves aren't exactly realistic. But still: How much better would your life be if it was directed by Nora Ephron? Here are just a few things our inner cheese-balls yearn for:

1. An Adorable Meet-Cute
Just imagine it: You bump into a handsome stranger and make awkwardly delightful small talk. Or you trip and fall, only to be helped up by a debonair passerby. Your eyes meet. There are sparks. So much better than Tinder or a crowded bar, am I right?

2. The Dramatic 11th-Hour Sprint Through the Airport
You're lying if you say you haven't daydreamed about someone shouting, "Wait!" just as you're about to board a plane—and swooping you into a kiss as everyone looking on applauds. Yeah, not so possible with today's airport security.

3. Sharing an Activity That Shouldn't be Romantic but Totally Is
Just look to Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore doing pottery together in Ghost. Obviously, we all just need some ultra-romantic music to underscore our mundane hobbies. Or maybe we just need to take more pottery classes.

4. Kissing in the Pouring Rain
Doesn't matter if it's cold and slippery in all the worst ways in real life; we still want it.

5. Passionate Love Speeches
Of all the film versus real life injustices, the utter lack of romantic declarations top the list. Every woman deserves a long, rambling monologue about why she's the love of someone's life.

6. Or Theatrical Serenades That Express the Same Sentiment
It doesn't have to be a speech—musical confessions of love are just as acceptable.

7. Actually Falling for Someone the Instant Your Eyes Meet
You might think you've fallen in love at first sight (or at least lust at first sight), but how often does that happen with your universe-approved soulmate? A guarantee would be nice.
