"Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed."Yes, Andie MacDowell. It's still freaking raining. While we're delighted that Four Weddings and a Funeral had a happy ending and we recognize that London is prone to downpours, having a heartfelt conversation as raindrops spill down your nose feels a little...miserable. Nothing like a raging cold to kick off a relationship.
It's not that rain can't be sexy. Dirty Dancing's Baby and Johnny getting it on as the rain pours is hot stuff. But guess what? They were inside, safely snuggled up in a dry, warm bed. As much as we may like to think we're the type of person who can enjoy a passionate clinch during one of this month's April showers, we'll pick cozy and comfortable over snotty and soggy every day.
However, if storm clouds turn you on, you're in luck. These romantic rainy-day scenes are a meteorologist's dream come true. Someone get these lovebirds an umbrella and a towel!
Singin' in the Rain (1952)
At least Don (Gene Kelly) had the sense to bust out an umbrella before laying one on Kathy (Debbie Reynolds). Too bad he didn't borrow her rain slicker before embarking on his legendary dance routine.
The Quiet Man (1952)
John Wayne's character, Sean, is so into kissing Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara) that he doesn't seem to notice he's inadvertently entered a wet T-shirt contest.
Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
The scent of a wet cat is such an aphrodisiac for Paul (George Peppard) and Holly (Audrey Hepburn).
9 1/2 Weeks (1986)
Once you've smeared the contents of your fridge all over each other, having a sexcapade in the rain seems pretty tame. Insert your own "slippery when wet" pun for this scene starring Elizabeth (Kim Basinger) and John (Mickey Rourke).
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
Toto (Marco Leonardi) gets the girl (Agnese Nano) thanks to his refusal to let a downpour deter him from movie night. It's the rainy, Italian version of "Netflix and chill."
Little Women (1994)
A sensitive, intellectual man who carries an umbrella? No wonder Jo (Winona Ryder) said yes to Professor Bhaer (Gabriel Byrne).
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
"Comes a point when you're so wet you can't get any wetter." You said it, Carrie (Andie MacDowell).
Chasing Amy (1997)
Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams) and Holden (Ben Affleck) fight and then make out like two drowned rats. Get in the car!
Sliding Doors (1998)
How is it possible that so many of these couples live in London and none of them carry umbrellas? We hope Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) and James (John Hannah) learned their lesson.
Spider-Man (2002)
This famous kiss between Spidey (Tobey Maguire) and Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) always gives us chills...for multiple reasons. Brrr.
Sweet Home Alabama (2002)
Melanie (Reese Witherspoon) found the perfect way to ruin a designer wedding dress.
Daredevil (2003)
That dampness you feel on your face isn't from the rain. It's the tears that are flowing now that Ben Affleck (Matt Murdock) and Jennifer Garner (Elektra) are over.
A Cinderella Story (2004)
Today's forecast: Heavy rain with a helping of "happily ever after." Sam (Hilary Duff) didn't let the weather dampen her spirits or deter her from kissing Austin (Chad Michael Murray) in this fairy tale spoof.
The Notebook (2004)
This scene between Ryan Gosling's Noah and Rachel McAdams' Allie is so passionate, it made the movie poster. In reality, though, you might want to check your weather app before planning a canoe trip with Baby Goose.
Match Point (2005)
Nola (Scarlett Johansson) and Chris (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) couldn't resist a liquidy tryst, whether it involved rain or baby oil.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
It's like raaaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnnnnn on your wedding day — times 1,000. Will (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth's (Keira Knightley) soggy nuptials occurred mid-battle.
Enchanted (2007)
Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) gets her man (Patrick Dempsey)...and, probably, a terrible cold.
Australia (2008)
To be fair, those Aussies needed rain so badly Lady Sarah (Nicole Kidman) probably didn't mind that her hairdo and fancy flowers got drenched.
Step Up 2: The Streets (2008)
This scene between Andie (Briana Evigan) and Chase (Robert Hoffman) is sort of like Friday Night Lights' Mud Bowl, but hotter.
Dear John (2010)
What can we say? Nicholas Sparks loves a good rain shower. Here, Savannah (Amanda Seyfried) and John (Channing Tatum) seek sexy shelter under a tiny piece of wood. Anyone else perplexed as to why Chan doesn't pull up his hood?
