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

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

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

The mom is an absolute God send.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.❤

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

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

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

Masterfully acted by ALL even the dogs!!

This is one of my favorite romantic comedies.

An absolutely classic scene.

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

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

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

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!

One of the most beautiful picture

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

They both won an Oscar for this . Good acting

beautiful scene

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

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

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

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

The comedy timing is especially great here.

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

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

love the scene helen jack priceless.

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.

Nicholson is awesome ❤

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.

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

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

Love this movie

Makes me cry

I am surprised more people don't like this?

Oh, how I love this movie!❤

One of my favorite movies

¡Esta pelicula, la que mas veces he visto! Me encanta.❤❤❤❤

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...

J'adore Le magnifique Jack Nicholson.

thankyou sharing.

Awesome scene, true

Lovely compliment, lovely

Helen Hunt is still a babe!

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.

GREAT SHOW. IF YOU MISSED IT.

Sacré Jack!

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

6:21 best dialogue. ❤❤

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

would love to see watch this film on you tube please thankyou.

acting at it,s best on all involved.

Director James L. Brooks should be whole lot more popular.

would be good to see watch this film on you tube please thankyou.

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

This was a heavy influence for me, 2011, the girl I loved...

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.

❤❤

Hans Zimmer.Subtle.

love story film humour cast.

Anyone that was in a movie with him is in it.. all the ones we thought were good werent

Two opposites attract,x factor,....love.

4 Am they couldn't do that now

This is why fiction is just what it is. Make believe.

How much did he have to pay to be the man in this movie? ...bet it was worth EVERY DIME!!!

🩵🩵

It's a great movie but too old to play a romantic guy😅

This film without Jack Nicholson´s genius acting is worth nothing. Helen Hunt didn´t act well, and she was an annoying personality during the whole movie, specially the crying in the kitchen scene... it was bad. Jack deserves 2 oscars.

I never believed these two as a couple. I think Nicholson deserved his Oscar but not for this rice-pudding.

Охуеть❤!!!!!!

"Maybe we can live without the wise cracks." At that moment, he took away all her defenses. She felt superior by mocking him.

It's just not believable that she would fall for him. He has problems and isn't attractive.

So contrived & fake

I dont love this film , she annoys me and hes creepy and weird

Wish they would make movies like this again. Instead, we get all this dopey muscle bound hero crap and the latest perverted, twisted, woke, politically correct garbage !! Jeez ! Make some human story films again !

love story film humour cast.
