A lot of you have probably seen this movie already (1997 release). I've watched it a few times before, but for some reason, only tonight i appreciated all the clever dialogue. There were some really funny lines in it, and some really romantic ones as well. Very well written script.
Here are a couple of my favourite lines:
Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.
_______
Melvin Udall: Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Here are a couple of romantic ones:
Melvin Udall: I might be the only person on the face of the earth that knows you're the greatest woman on earth. I might be the only one who appreciates how amazing you are in every single thing that you do, and how you are with Spencer, "Spence," and in every single thought that you have, and how you say what you mean, and how you almost always mean something that's all about being straight and good. I think most people miss that about you, and I watch them, wondering how they can watch you bring their food, and clear their tables and never get that they just met the greatest woman alive. And the fact that I get it makes me feel good, about me.

Melvin Udall: I've got a really great compliment for you, and it's true.
Carol Connelly: I'm so afraid you're about to say something awful.
Melvin Udall: Don't be pessimistic, it's not your style. Okay, here I go: Clearly, a mistake. I've got this, what - ailment? My doctor, a shrink that I used to go to all the time, he says that in fifty or sixty percent of the cases, a pill really helps. I *hate* pills, very dangerous thing, pills. Hate. I'm using the word "hate" here, about pills. Hate. My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never... well, you were there, you know what you said. Well, my compliment to you is, the next morning, I started taking the pills.
Carol Connelly: I don't quite get how that's a compliment for me.
Melvin Udall: You make me want to be a better man.
Carol Connelly: ...That's maybe the best compliment of my life.
Melvin Udall: Well, maybe I overshot a little, because I was aiming at just enough to keep you from walking out.

And there also some offensive (funny) ones:
Melvin Udall: I can't do this without you. I'm afraid he might pull the stiff one-eye on me. (referring to his gay neighbour)
