Say Anything... (1989)
In director/writer Cameron Crowe's teen romance (his
directorial debut film):
- the scene of a three second kiss in the pouring
rain between brainy and beautiful high-school girlfriend Diane
Court (Ione Skye) and Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack)
- their awkward and painful scene of breaking up in
his car, when she gave him a parting gift of a pen to write to her:
("She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen")
- his replaying of Peter Gabriel's haunting "In
Your Eyes" on a boom box (defiantly held high above his head)
to serenade his ex-girlfriend outside her bedroom window at dusk
- the final scene on an airplane where flight-fearing
Diane and a comforting Lloyd were awaiting the all-clear and safe
'ding' of the "Fasten Seatbelts" sign going off - and when
it dinged the screen cut to black
