A Walk to Remember is already “in the books” of one of the best teen romantic drama movies of that time, and until now. It’s a Classic. They should team up Shane and Mandy again. Beautiful screen chemistry.

A Walk to Remember is a classic. I still tear up when I watch it.

[CorCor]

They were literally the two that got away from each other.
I'm so happy they have a healthy and stable friendships.
Bonds like theirs last a lifetime.

The movie a walk to remember was such a great movie. I think every girl should watch it once. Don't see much movies like that anymore. Mandy is amazing.

[chhanchhani]

A walk to remember is that one movie I keep coming back to and still end up crying ever single time.

[darnlove]

Can we please get a second film with Shane and Mandy! I don’t even care what it’s about just give us something with these two

[fanishcookie]

Aging like a fine wine and comes across as such a humble and lovely guy. We need to see Shane and Mandy in a film again though their chemistry and lasting friendship is too genuine to pass up ✨🥰

Man, I had a major crush on Shane West when this movie came out. My all time favorite, makes you tear up and makes you realize life is short and yes, people can change. Love Mandy too!

A Walk to Remember...I just rewatched it (which i rarely do). The sweetness and innocence of these two beautiful characters shines thru...a true classic.

The whole movie was shot in 39 days. I think there is a huge possibility that Shane and Mandy had huge crush on each other, and it was left unanswered when the film completed.
The movie did a lot of things right. Mandy was phenomenal. Something about her accent and voice and her character's vulnerability fit so well together that when she cried, we cried. It was so unstoppable.

A walk to remember is one of my all time favourite movies. I still cry when I watch it. So happy to see Shane West in more movies. He's a terrific actor and being handsome helps.

[leeannsampson]

He seems to have great genes. He doesn't look 43 at all. Good for him! 👏 👏👏

I got diagnosed with cancer for the first time the year that the movie AWTR came out - I remember tearing up. It was such a sweet movie and the two of them together were great! But I made the mistake of watching it again two years later. By that time, my cancer had returned with a vengeance. I decided after watching it that I couldn’t watch anything cancer or death-related while I was so sick. At that point, the movie just reminded me even more of my own mortality, that I was given a 0% chance of survival, and that I would likely be leaving my son an orphan. I couldn’t watch it again until I hit full remission 10 years later. I think A Walk to Remember will be one of those timeless movies that can speak to any generation. Shane West is such a great actor (loved him in Salem too) and love Mandy Moore in This Is Us. But outside of their careers, they both seem to be so genuine (not fake like you see in other celebs).

A walk to Remember it’s still my favorite movie I watch it at least once a month my granddaughter loves it as well we watch it together she still plays the part when Mandy sings she puts her hands together and sings the whole song she is 19 years old now and still does it it’s a wonderful movie

[wordswrittenbyme]

I love that their rl friendship is something they can look back on with beautiful memories. A walk to remember one of the best love stories and books.

[gissellnunez]

Love him!
“A walk to remember” always my fav movie ❤

[pjgfshbvcc]

I feel bittersweet whenever I watch AWTR. The movie brings me back to my youth, the younger, simpler times.. I was Mandy’s age when the movie came out. although both Shane and Mandy aged beautifully, I feel a pang of sorrow missing the *young* Shane and *young* Mandy. Youth is gone, nothing in life is eternal, purity & innocence long gone. Watching this movie, for some reason, always creates this aching feeling pondering on the ephemerality of life. Anyhow, Thank you for creating such a beautiful movie about the kind of love that is almost non-existent in our current world. I come back to it at least once or twice a year…

Mandy Moore and Shane West were phenomenal in their roles in 'A Walk to Remember.' It's already been 20 years since then. It appears as though Shane hasn't aged that much at all. He may have matured physically, but he's still pretty much the same person. A Walk to Remember, over the years, has become a timeless classic. To this day, people are still singing along 'My Only Hope' and 'Cry.' They're simply iconic.

[nicholasgarrick]

Love shane west he so well spoken, and polished now acting like a fine win.

[nsasupporter]

Can’t believe this movie is already 20 years old 😱
