With the next week forecasted for rain (at least here in Vancouver) I though it only appropriate to share my top 6 rainy movies scenes. Why 6? Because I couldn’t chose between The Notebook or Spiderman!
6.) Spiderman (2002)
The Spiderman scene where MJ (Kirsten Dunst) and Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) have the mind blowing kiss (where Spiderman is hanging upside down) looks pretty amazing on film…but in all actuality it isn’t that “hot” in real life. In fact its really awkward and unless he is really hanging from a building in a Spiderman outfit then all the magic is gone. However, the scene is hot and undoubtedly the best part of the movie (after all it did win Best Kiss at the years MTV movie awards haha) and is definitely a memorable one!
5.) Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
The last 5 minutes of Breakfast at Tiffany’s are by far the best. As Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) searches the dirty New York Streets for Cat, in her cute raincoat and flats, you can see the desperation that is oozing out of her. But it is when the rain is pouring down and the silhouette of Paul Varjak (George Peppard) holding Cat appears does your heart melt. And lets not forget the swoon worthy kiss at the end. Meow!
4.) Forest Gump (1994)
Everyone always remembers that “life is like a box of chocolates,” but I bet you everyone also left the theater after seeing this remembering the different types of shrimp and types of rainstorms there are. When Forrest (Tom Hanks) is fighting in Vietnam, he narrates, “One day it started raining, and it didn’t quit for four months. We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin’ rain … and big ol’ fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. And then one day it just stopped.” This scene is one of my favorite because it gives insight into the war but in a humorous “forest” kind of way.
3.) Lord of the Rings (2002)
The battle for Helm’s Deep during the second of Peter Jackson’s movie adaptation of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy was the best combat scene from the entire thing. The whole amazing war happened while sheets of rain fell from the sky. You would think a fight scene would be hard to follow during a rain sequence, but not here. Everything is well choreographed and the action is top-notch adding more depth to an already epic battle sequence.
2.) The Notebook (2004)
I had a hard time deciding between Spiderman or The Notebook for best rainy kiss in a movie, so i decided its a tie to to add both. I don’t think I need to go into detail about this steaming scene because really who hasn’t seen the notebook? So i thought instead I would quote my favorite line instead…(please imagine this in a southern accent 
)
Ali: Why didn’t You write me? Why? It wasn’t over for me. I waited for you for 7 years and now its too late!
Noah: I wrote you. I wrote you every day for a year. It wasn’t over…It still isn’t over…cue make out session.
1.) Singing in the Rain (1952)
Come on, you saw this coming. It even has the word rain in the title. Who can forget Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) incredible dance number in the rain? Don just says goodnight to Kathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds) after a great evening. He is so happy at the turn of events that he feels he must sing about it while it is raining. He swings on lampposts, jumps in puddles, and twirls an umbrella the whole time. He never seems to mind that he is soaking wet. The most famous rain scene in movie history was done in just one take and Kelly also improvised most of his dance moves.
I’d love to know what your top 5 are…….and why…..
