The following quotes are from movies. At the moment, it's just the two, but, more shall surely come.

Look. The supermodel's a beautiful girl, Will. She can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack all morning. She can make you feel high for the greatest commodity known to man - promise, the promise of a better day, the promise of a greater hope, the promise of a new tomorrow. This particular ore can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl - in her smile, in her soul, in the way she makes every rotten thing about life seem OK. The supermodels, Willie? That's all they are - bottled promise. Scenes from a new day, hope in stiletto heels. 

From Beautiful Girls (1996). [Added August 6, 2007.]

The entire movie Sin City (2005) is one big (or actually four) story of love. [Added August 6, 2007.]

So too is Donnie Darko (2001). [Added August 6, 2007.]
