History Main / FallingInLoveMontage

* [[SatireParodyPastiche Played out as a Parody, satirized by commentator Kyon]] in episode 00 "The Adventures Of Mikuru Asahina" of ''[[SuzumiyaHaruhi The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', just like [[DeconstructorFleet so many other tropes]].

* In the DisneyAnimatedCanon:

* Parodied in ''Film/HotShots''. One scene shows Topper and Ramada laughing and smiling as they exit a movie theater. The camera then pans up to the marquee to reveal that they had just finished watching the very depressing ''{{Platoon}}''.

* Parodied with Geraldine and Simon Horton in ''TheVicarOfDibley'', with scenes including a romantic picnic in which she stuffs an entire chocolate bar into her mouth and, most famously, a scene of them laughing and jumping in puddles which ends when one turns out to be about a meter deep.
* ''MissionImpossible'' intentionally avoided montages, but did use this type in a couple of episodes. One case, in "The Short-Tail Spy," was quite creative: it used a quick series of various locations and activities, but included dialogue that ran together to form a single, coherent conversation between the two characters.

* In ''{{Jimmy Two-Shoes}}'', one happens between [[LazyBum Beezy]] and [[CloudCuckoolander Saffi]].

* Played completely straight in ''Crazy/Beautiful''. The chapter on the DVD was even called "Falling in Love"

* The [[SoBadItsGood hastily produced]] Vanilla Ice movie ''Cool As Ice'' has one of these over one of Ice's ballads.
* Given that it's a parody of ''Film/JamesBond'', ''[[AustinPowers Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery]]'' plays this fairly straight as Austin treats Vanessa Kensington to a night on the town.

* Subverted in ''The Break-Up'', which opens with a MeetCute, followed by one of these to ''You're My Best Friend'', followed immediately by...well, you can figure this one out on your own.
* Seen in ''Walk Hard: The Legend of Dewey Cox'' between Dewey and Darlene. As it happens, their montage includes such questionable activities as [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything licking, sucking, slurping ice-cream cones with very ambiguous expressions...]]

* ''MadeasFamilyReunion'' has this with Vanessa and Frankie, and an inversion with Lisa and her abusive husband Carlos showing him abusing her.

* Parodied in ''HotShots''. One scene shows Topper and Ramada laughing and smiling as they exit a movie theater. The camera then pans up to the marquee to reveal that they had just finished watching the very depressing ''{{Platoon}}''.

* The film version of ''ComicBook/{{Persepolis}} shows Marjane and Markus pelting one another with snowballs, running through the park, smoking hash with content expressions and showing a gleeful, happy romance... before he [[YourCheatingHeart cheats on her]]. Subverted soon after when she re-envisions the entire thing but with Markus as a slimy, creepy douchebag. In his defense, she does mention in the comic that she was a huge emotional load on him, as she pretty much expected him to be an ersatz for every man in her life.

[[caption-width-right:347:When did you last let your heart decide?]]

** "Bella Notte" from ''LadyAndTheTramp'' starts as a typical onscreen song but then transforms into a romantic montage that spans the course of the evening. (Then it fades to black, and then fades back up to the titular characters waking up on the same hill. And she's pregnant later. [[ParentalBonus Hmmmm]].)

* ''Anime/MekakucityActors'': The InsertSong at the end of Episode 6, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D6uOGZLFCY Yuukei Yesterday]]'', combines this with GoodTimesMontage, as the song is explicitly about [[{{Tsundere}} Takane struggling with her developing feelings for Haruka]], and she is shown to grow more and more in love with him as the song progresses, but it's also inter-cut with some fun times with Shintaro and Ayano.

** The "Love Is An Open Door" sequence in Disney/{{Frozen}} takes this to its most logical conclusion; Anna and Hans agreeing to an engagement are its ''closing lines.'' [[spoiler:It turns out to be one-sided when it's revealed that Hans is the BigBad who was using her as part of his plan to become king of Arendelle.]]

-- '''Strong Bad''' falls in love, ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner''

* Given that it's a parody of JamesBond, ''[[AustinPowers Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery]]'' plays this fairly straight as Austin treats Vanessa Kensington to a night on the town.
* JamesBond (George Lazenby) has one in ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' with Tracy (Diana Rigg), set to Louis Armstrong singing "We Have All the Time in the World."

* Tim and Mary fall in love--or, more accurately, fall deeper in love, hang out with Tim's sister, and move in together-- in this montage, set mostly in a London subway station, accompanied by the song "How Long Will I Love You" (performed by Jon Boden, Sam Sweeney & Ben Coleman).

* Used in the DisneyAnimatedCanon film ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast,'' against the song of "Something There", which tends to confuse fans as to just how long Belle lives in the castle.
** Interestingly, the CutSong "Human Again" originally slated for this part of the film was much more specific about the passing of winter, but was dropped in part because the filmmakers were worried the audience would start wondering what Maurice and Gaston were doing all this time. They never quite solved this problem, even when the song was reinstated in the stage musical and a reedit of the film.
* And while we're on the subject of the DisneyAnimatedCanon...

* ''Webcomic/{{Bug}}'' [[http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/love-lessons/ deconstructs this.]]

* In [[Final Fantasy X]], Tidus and Yuna get one shortly after the party escapes from Seymour in Bevelle.

* Eowyn and Faramir's relationship in the ''Film/LordOfTheRings'' films is cut down to this to save time. And it only appears in the Extended Edition!

** Though not specifically for this purpose, the bird-building scene of ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' clearly shows the awkward-yet-sweet progression of Flik and Atta's attraction.
