THIS is the kind of love we all need to give each other: nothing romantic or sexual, just true caring and affirmation from one human being to another.

This movie scene shows that its worth the effort to find True Love.

I used to think that "You make me want to be a better man" was the best line of this film. Now, I think it's "I'd be the luckiest guy alive if that did it for me."

He gives an excellent response to his “I love you.”

It was a tough category that year at the Oscars! Best Supporting Actor had Robin Williams, Burt Reynolds, Anthony Hopkins & Robin Forester all nominated!

This line and “You make me want to be a better man” are breathtaking spoken words.

There are so many times in this movie that I just can't stop crying!

It's a moment where you can find the good even within the worst of people.

Just a wonderful movie.

what a movie charged of powerfull onliners and phrases...

Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt both got Oscars. However, Greg Kinnear was Damn good in this.

I love how the dog Verdel was the catalyst for Melvins and Simons friendship

"Make yourself at home" right before he walked out the door, is his version of "I love you too". seeing the love in people underneath everything the covering: vice versa.

My Favorite Scene 😊.

Still gets to me 20 years later

I love the transformation Jack goes through. Gradually not only accepting his gay neighbour but even helping him in his time of need, by letting him live in his apartment ^^

there is two meanings to what jack said. one is the obvious well because hes not gay meaning. but the other is much sadder, his doubt that if he could love anyone or anyone could love him that it would help him or fix him.

There's a lot of good moments in this film, but I think this scene takes the cake. Sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest places if you look at it right.

What a powerful movie.

The movie is about nicolsons charecter who has ocd and once the waitress has to take care of her sick child he goes on to pay for the doctor for her son because it hurts his everyday schedule (OCD). Once he starts getting out of his routine and changing it up he becomes a better person. Asshole yes but he is OCD

I've wondered that myself. It belongs to Simon and supposedly portrays a young Simon with his mother, but the artwork 'made by Simon' was done by Billy Sullivan - his style is *nothing* like the painting in question.

Twyla, or anyone, do you know where I can find that painting of the woman and boy in the background.

While most of the paintings used throughout the film are actually owned by Jack Nicholson himself, the painting I believe you are asking about (in background at kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYtlkqmDaKy9m9I.html ) does not seem to be one of them. Given the narrative of Simon's upbringing, it was most likely created explicitly for the movie. Much of the bespoke art is attributed to Billy Sullivan (see www.allmovie.com/movie/as-good-as-it-gets-v158803), though this is not without its caveats - the bedroom sketches of Grace look very much like Sullivan's work, though the painting in question doesn't strike me as being his.
