There have been so many great, heart-pounding, tear-inducing movie lines over the years, that it's hard to remember them all.

But there is one line that is so easy to remember that it has truly become part of the fabric of love stories in almost all of our minds.

The year was 1996, and the screen idol who went to Glen Ridge High School looked across the room and straight into the eyes of leading lady Renee Zellweger and uttered the immortal phrase, "You complete me".

It is the number one most romantic movie line ever spoken according to many lists, including the one at Brides.

This perfect love story quote tops lines from legendary films such as Casablanca. Pretty Woman, When Harry Met Sally and Love Actually.

There are so many honors Tom Cruise has already received in the film industry, so we'll just add this one to his list of accomplishments.

I do think it's only fair to throw in a New Jersey honorable mention here, and it doesn't come from Joe Pesci, Danny DeVito, or even Bruce Willis.

I think one of the most romantic lines delivered by a New Jersey actor that captures what true love is comes from Jack Nicholson.

He delivered it in As Good As It Gets. "You make me want to be a better man". It's an underrated line, but one that gets my honorable mention.
