    • Quotes

      Ian Wyndham: I Love you.

      Samantha Andrews: Ooh I Love you too.

      Ian Wyndham: I wanna tell you why I love you.

      Samantha Andrews: It's... It's raining, you know that right.

      Ian Wyndham: I have to tell you this and you need to hear it. I loved you since I met you, but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead, making decisions soaked with fear... Today, because of you... what I learned from you; every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed... and I've learned that if you do that, then you're living your life fully... it doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha if not for today, if not for you I would never have known love at all... So thank you for being the person who taught me to love... and to be love.

      Samantha Andrews: I don't know what to say.

      Ian Wyndham: You don't have to say anything... I just wanted to tell you.

    10/10
    One of the world's few "must see" movies
    This movie changed my life. It is tremendously moving if you are a sensitive person and contains almost as many valuable messages for your life as its length in minutes.

    Everyone who knows how to love and wants to learn to love even more should definitely see this film; if you are the type of person who can cry during a film (I never thought I was) then have some Kleenex nearby.

    If you find that after viewing this film you do your best to love your partner even more and squeeze the most out of every minute given to you by fate or whatever, then this movie will have opened your eyes in a way similar to how it opened mine.

    Ralph, Loving Sandra even more than before
