And in Return of the Jedi , when Leia pulls the gun out to pull some smackdown on the storm troopers, Han says "I love you," and Leia, of course, says "I know."

I can't believe no one has mention 'The Princess Bride', with the kiss to end all kisses! HELLO!
The old Romeo and Juliet (NOT THE DICAPRIO VERSION), the balcany scene.
And if you want some romantic folktales (one of which reduced me to tears when I first saw it), Jim Henson's 'The Storyteller' miniseries is wonderful. (the stories are: Sapsorrow, the True Bride, and especially The Three Ravens)
And the whole 'movie premere' scene in 'America's Sweethearts'.

Chocolat, when Vienne (?) serves the character Johnny Depp plays (Roux?) hot chocolate and he says something about it being his favourite, and he thought she'd never guess.

The rating restriction kind of hamstrung me, but here goes...
As Good As It Gets
"You make me want to be a better man."
Forrest Gump
Forrest: Will you marry me? [Jenny turns and looks at him] Forrest: I'd make a good husband, Jenny. Jenny: You would, Forrest. Forrest: But you won't marry me. Jenny: You don't wanna marry me. Forrest: Why don't you love me, Jenny? I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.
Big Fish
My mother-in-law, husband, and I all loved this movie. I don't want to say my favorite part, for those who haven't seen it yet, but it is really beautiful.
Secondhand Lions
"I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two world wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I've led thousands of men into battle with horses and swords, artillery and tanks. I've seen the headwaters of the Nile and tribes of natives no white men had ever seen before. I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men, and loved only one woman with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am."

The scene where Colin Firth proposes. I know it's R, but that scene's fine, and it's so sweet!
All Of Pride and Prejudice, especially the scene with Darcy at his house.
This is sort of sad, but the scene in Guess Who's coming to Dinner when Spencer Tracy is being all stubborn and Katharine Hepburn is looking at him with tears in her eyes and you can just feel how much she loves him.
I have to go, I'll try and think of more later. This is fun!

OKay,here's another one I thought of tonight.
The Highlander when he holds Heather in his arms and talks to her as she dies.
Curiously, I found the scene in the antique room rather romantic. Although I don't think the first thing I would do after I stabbed a guy in the chest and he told me he was immortal is kiss him.
I'd probably run screaming. Posts: 14428 | Registered: Aug 2001

Oh thank you Mayday! I was trying to remember the name of that movie and it was driving me nuts! Thank you thank you thank you thank you....
All right people, I can't believe no one has mentiones this: GONE WITH THE WIND!!! Come on! Pick a kiss, they're all good, but the best one is prob'ly when they're standing in the field with the sunset in the background... *sigh*
Most of the other good movies have already been mentioned.

Belle stole mine, but I wanted to actually post the dialogue from the scene with my post. I never thought that someone hadn't seen Highlander! So, I guess it's just as well I didn't. Posts: 13123 | Registered: Feb 2002

Just out of curiosity... Do you think watching a movie of the most romantic moments when you are sad is going to make you more or less depressed?

My wife's favorite romantic movie is The Age of Innocence. She has had me watch it with her several times, and she has a point.

I've actually been planning on watching it for quite a while, Belle. I almost watched it this Saturday, even. And then I decided not to. A decision I will rue until the day I die. Posts: 3516 | Registered: Sep 2002

Most of my favorites have been taken, but Life is Beautiful is awfully romantic, despite the lack of kissing. "Bonjorno, Princupesa" (Sorry, I don't know Italian.) And when he plays the record out the window.
Never Been Kissed tends to be my first thought cause that would so be me. Just don't tell my students that.

I remember! The last scene in Roman Holiday. How can a movie that has Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck not be horribly romantic?

Some of these have most likely been said but I belive they could use repeating.i consider myself one of the authorities on romantic films.
Anne of avonlee - the bridge scene Little women - lauries proposal & the end The princess bride - the begining & please ,i need to live How to lose a guy in 10 days- the house scene Down with love- the end Ten things i hate about you- the poem-end Pretty woman-when he hits the dude Benny and joon- the end Pirates of the caribbean-"Elizabeth" & end Gigi-the end When harry met sally - the end Ever after - the end The cutting edge - the end Two weeks notice - the party/end My bug fat greek wedding-anypart of it Sweet home alabama - the proposal/wedding How to deal-jedi mind trick at the end The princess diaries- the end
well that's about all i can think of right now but do you notice how most of them are end scenes? so odd.well, Enjoy! Posts: 68 | Registered: Jan 2004

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I've been keeping up with this thread, but I have been to busy to actually sit down and make a response, but it's sure been fun to read!
Some random comments:
Bok- Gattaca actually isn't rated R. I saw it for the first time last year--great movie!
rivka- Here in our apartment (and with most LDS females also) the end of Notting Hill where they are sitting on the bench and she is "happily pregnant" is very well-loved. It was already on our list.
Narnia- You know, this twin thing comes in handy! Those were wonderful suggestions! I haven't seen a few of the movies you mentioned, and they are now on my list to see soon.
Maccabeus- Nope, they don't show edited movies here at BYU. They used to (when my parents went here), but I think they got in trouble with copyrights or something. It's very sad that they don't do it anymore.
Belle- I'm a little embarrassed because everyone seemed to know about it, but I've never heard of The Highlander. Could you tell me more about it?
Xaposert- That's just one of the fundamental mysteries of females, isn't it? Eating ice cream and watching depressing romances when we're sad. I'm not sure it *exactly* makes us feel better per se, but we do it anyway. Seems slightly masochistic, eh? Unexplainable...
Thanks again! And do continue... Posts: 1635 | Registered: Aug 2002

The Highlander was good enough to spawn several so-so sequels and a TV show I never saw.
It cuts back and forth between the present and the past, but it's all the same guy. It's his story, because he's immortal. He lived through a mortal wounding, and was cast out of his clan because they figured he was possessed or something. But these immortals can only be killed by chopping off their heads. Anyway, he falls in love and marries. Later he finds out he is immortal, and that because he's immortal, he can't father children. He knows this will disappoint his wife, but they stay together. She grows old and he doesn't, then finally dies. This is all a brief montage, shown to as song with the refrain, "Who wants to live forever?" It totally kills me, because he loves her so much. *sniff*
I'm such a girl. But the movie is really about how all these immortals have o eventually come together and kill each other to get a mysterious 'gift'. That's what the tag line, "There can be only one" means. It's one of those rare 'guy' movies that is also very emotionally centered, and girls like it too. Plus, whosit? Christopher Lambert? Used to be hot. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

Just for kicks, I decided I'd post the scenes we have on our list that haven't been mentioned yet:
Emma- Mr. Knightly's proposal....*sigh* it's a beautiful thing!
Runaway Bride- The Wedding Rehearsal--Richard Gere is good at movie kisses!
Anastasia- The kiss at the end
A Walk to Remember- this is like the *quintessential* cheesy chick movie 1. at the end of her song in the school play when he kisses her 2. the rub on tatoo in the car....way sexy! 3. "I might kiss you." "I might be bad at it."
Wedding Planner- the end scene
One Fine Day- the whole end part
The Mask of Zorro- the scene where they dance...woo hoo!
Spiderman- the upside down kiss
Sleeping Beauty- "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream..."

The only one that I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is Shakespeare in Love. *sigh* The entire movie is great but the best part is the death scene at the end.

Banna got to it first but I have to second "10 Things", which I was going to say when I read her post. I love when he sings to her in the bleachers...it's a pretty good movie all around.
And any two minutes from "Shakespeare in Love."
added: Sorry, I'm just too late all around.
Wait, what death scene? It's been a while since I saw it...

Hey! What about the scene in Braveheart where the the newlywed wife averts bloodshed, gently laying her hand on her husband's cheek before she is carted off for the "1st night's rites"

If the part of Big Fish that Mrs. M mentioned is the part I'm thinking about, I second it. The part I'm talking about was one of those giddy, smile moments, though; not a tear-jerker moment.

Find the movie "Cinema Paradiso" and watch the final scene. I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised. Posts: 3852 | Registered: Feb 2002

quote:she asks him if he can give her any reason not to marry her brother and he says he can't.
Ummm, I can think of a number of reasons a woman shouldn't marry her brother. Birth defects for one . Since I haven't seen the movie, am I safe in assuming you meant 'his'?
Anyway, I get extremely depressed when watching romantic movies sometimes, especially when I'm already fealing lonely. Guys and girls must be built differently that way.

The scene when Holden professes his love to Alyssa and she freaks and storms out of the car and he gets back in and tries to plead his case. then Holden, defeated, is walking back to his car in the pouring rain. Alyssa then runs in from off screen and leaps into his arms crying as she is confused, sad, angry, and overjoyed all at once. one of those intense kissing moments i've seen on film.

I've been called unromantic before, but I didn't really believe it until I just realized that I've seen maybe a half-dozen of the movies mentioned so far.
----------------
Ben makes a good suggestion, though you'd have to get through the movie to get the full feel, and I think the church looks down on "man falls in love with lesbian, converts her, then dumps her because she had a threesome with two guys he knows" films.

Brian to Anna: "I don't doubt myself because of you. I feel like the best version of myself when I'm with you, and that makes me doubt everything else."
Who knew a crisis of faith could be so romantic?
But the best scene is between Brian and Jake:
BRIAN:I love Anna.
JAKE:I know you do. We all do.
BRIAN: No, you don't understand. I'm in love with Anna.
JAKE: What? I mean, she's like your sister!
BRIAN: Yes, thank you for adding new depth to my confusion! <pause> You could have any girl in the city. Why did you have pick the only girl I've ever felt anything for?
JAKE: Pardon me for not being sensitive that my friend the priest was in love with my secret girlfriend!
---
Edward Norton was adorable in that scene. Crazy in love, soaked in dissapointment, defending her anyway, and ultimately asking his friend and rival for help in understanding what it meant that love had hit him like a two-by-four.
