It is getting to that time of year again, where the leaves fall and the rain pours. Therefore, inspired by all the dreadful weather this week, I have chosen my Top Ten Scenes in the Rain.
Adding rain to a scene can immediately make a moment more dramatic, romantic or poignant.
So, here are my top picks...
1. Forrest Gump (1994)
Out in the Vietnam War, Forrest sees all kinds of rain...
2. Bambi (1942)
A childhood favourite. Not only is the animation adorable but the orchestration and the sound of the choir creating the storm is remarkable.

3. Pride & Prejudice (2005)
This is as close as we get to seeing Matthew MacFadyen as Mr Darcy in a wet shirt...but the chemistry between Darcy and Lizzie is evident here, made all the more dramatic with the rumbles of thunder between their dialogue.
4. The Notebook (2004)
Everyone wants to be kissed in the rain. Especially if it is with Ryan Gosling looking splendid with a beard.
5. Garden State (2004)
Screaming into the infinite abyss in the pouring rain with Simon and Garfunkel on the soundtrack. How could you not love this moment? If you like the sound of Garden State, check out the Saturday Soundtrack I did back in August.
6. Shawshank Redemption (1994)
The rain, thunder and lightning fits perfectly to show Andy's release of freedom and triumph. Surely one of the best scenes.
7. Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
Another wonderful kissing scene in the rain from the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's. There are indeed several kissing scenes in the rain on this list, which leads me onto number eight...
8. Spiderman (2002)
Although the film itself was rather unmemorable, the upside-down kiss in the pouring rain has become one of the most iconic scenes in cinematic history.
9. Sense and Sensibility (1995)
Another wonderful kissing scene in the rain from the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's. There are indeed several kissing scenes in the rain on this list, which leads me onto number eight...
8. Spiderman (2002)
Although the film itself was rather unmemorable, the upside-down kiss in the pouring rain has become one of the most iconic scenes in cinematic history.
9. Sense and Sensibility (1995)
Poor Marianne. This scene truly shows her heartbreak after learning that the man she loves, Willoughby, is engaged to another woman.
10. Singin' in the Rain (1952)
No list could be without this scene. It made the Top Ten Dance Sequences in a Film list earlier this month, and it would be a crime not to include it here.You would never guess that Gene Kelly performed this scene with a 103°F fever!
