We get it, hitting on chicks is a hard game. You can't think of a good opening line and then you stutter out something lame like, "If I could rearrange the alphabet, would you let me see you naked?" Coming off as a creep is way too easy.

Don't worry, we got you; we've compiled a list of movie lines that always serve us well. If you're lucky, your girl hasn't seen a lot of flicks and thinks you're a poet. But if she does call you out on copping a cheesy pick up line from a movie, play it off. "You saw it too? Isn't The Notebook amazing?" Look at you, you're already bonding.

So, get to clicking through the list, memorize a few, and meet-cute with some girls at the park and start your own romantic comedy.
