The Most Meme-Worthy Moments In Rom-Com History

This list wouldn't be complete without a Julia Roberts rom-com, and there are a few great choices like "Pretty Woman" and "Mystic Pizza," but the most meme-able Julia Roberts moment ever has to be the scene of her declaration of love in "Notting Hill." A lot of times, the best and funniest memes come from the most serious and schmaltzy moments in film and television, and this scene is no exception. 

In "Notting Hill," Anna Scott (Roberts) is a famous actress, who one day stumbles into a small London bookshop owned by William Thacker (Hugh Grant). They hit it off, and it feels like a dream to William to be carrying on a romance with one of the most famous actresses in the world. After it all goes south as per the prerequisite rom-com break-up, Anna makes a grand romantic gesture by visiting him at the shop. 

William tells her that he can't be with her because of her fame, which he fears will make her cast him aside. Her response is that her fame isn't real because "I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her," and while William doesn't take her back at that moment, he later reflects on their conversation and decides to give it another go with Anna. This line has become a major internet meme with seemingly infinite comedic potential, as it can be used in any situation of wanting to express your seemingly simple desire.
