And it spawned one of the most famous (and stupid) quotes in movie history: "Love means never having to say you're sorry." What the hell does that even mean? Does anyone remember when 7Up did a commercial that was a spoof of Love Story? They even had the 7Up sitting in the convertible next to the "preppie" driving up to the big mansion.

Btw, the movie was filmed in my old neighborhood in the Bronx. What was supposed to be her dad's house in Rhode Island was actually 235th Street and the Christmas tree lot where Ryan O'Neal worked was on 233rd.
