What's Your Favorite Quote From The Notebook?

This week I'm celebrating what, if I may be so bold, I believe to be the greatest Nicholas Sparks adaptation of all time: The Notebook.

This week I'm celebrating what, if I may be so bold, I believe to be the greatest Nicholas Sparks adaptation of all time: The Notebook. Allie (Rachel McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling) are star-crossed lovers, repeatedly torn apart by societal differences. It's a tragic story of prevailing love — and Ryan Gosling's ability to build an entire house single-handedly. I'm sharing my favorite quotes below, but what are yours?

  • "If you're a bird, I'm a bird." — Noah
  • "You smug bastard." — Allie
  • "It wasn't over. It still isn't over." — Noah

A House Almost as Handsome as Ryan Gosling

The opening of Safe Haven has us reminiscing about all the beautiful beach homes and plantation properties in Nicholas Sparks's past film adaptations. The one closest to our hearts? The breathtaking house that Noah (Ryan Gosling) builds for Allie (Rachel McAdams) in The Notebook, of course.

Inspired by the film's romantic setting, we browsed properties in Charleston, SC, and came across this similarly gorgeous home. The Bennett-Hayne House dates back to 1800 and features two tiered porches with Tuscan columns, a carriage house, and lovely expansive gardens. The only thing missing is a lake and Ryan Gosling rowing a canoe.

Buzz Time Machine: Rachel McAdams's Notebook Audition

"It still isn't over!"

"It still isn't over!" Or at least for me it isn't anyway. Even though Rachel McAdams has a new film out right now (Morning Glory), she'll always remind me of The Notebook. If you're like me, you've watched the movie more than a few times, but have you seen McAdams's audition tape? For this week's Buzz Time Machine, I'm digging it up. McAdams is so mesmerizing, it's almost as good as watching the film itself. Take a look!
