      I have to say that as cheesy as the scene is, the most romantic to me is the scene at the end of "An Officer and a Gentleman" when Richard Gere carries Debra Winger out of that factory.

      I love the scene in the holiday when Cameron meets Jude’s daughters!

      My all-time favorite romantic movie is When Harry Met Sally. Love and relationships can be complicated but this movie finds the humor in what it really takes to be in love with your best friend :)

      Favorite scene is when Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher eat breakfast the morning of the wedding! Sometimes FWB really is the way to go…it can develop into something more.

      Really all of The Notebook haha but if I had to pick a scene I'd probably pick when they're in the nursing home and she recognizes who he is.

      I luv Sleepless in Seattle with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks (aka Annie & Sam). I think Tom Hanks was so cute in that movie! the moment where Sam & Jonah come out of the elevator and finally meet up with Annie!! Fun and sweet!!!

      The final scene in Last of the Mohicans has to be the most romantic and saddest scenes ever. When the Native American is killed and thrown off the cliff to his demise. And the woman he loves, breaks free from the rival tribe and leaps off the cliff to be with her love, rather than stay a captive. Must watch scene…especially with the “Gael” song playing in the background!

      My favorite romantic movie is The Notebook (Cheesy, I know).. My favorite part is the last scene when they both passed away holding hands and it cuts away to the birds flying. I don't know why the saddest part is the most romantic to me! Maybe because all I really want is someone to grow old with me and never give up like Noah did with Allie. Truly romantic.

      I like the scene in Titanic when Jack teaches Rose to "fly" in the front of the Titanic.

      Has to be the kiss when they get back together in The Notebook.

      The last scene of "When Harry Met Sally."

      My favorite scene is the last scene of Before Sunset when Celine is dancing around to Nina Simone and says to Jesse that he's going to miss his plane and he says, "I know" and laughs. It's romantic, very real feeling, and cute.

      My favorite is from Bridget Jones's Diary, when Mark Darcy crosses the Atlantic just to tell Bridget that he's come back because he's "forgotten to kiss her goodbye"

      From Ever After ~ When the gypsies tell Danielle she can have anything she can carry, so she picks up Prince Henry very slowly, carefully, and successfully! So cute and funny and sweet. :)

      Favorite romantic movie of all time would be a tie between Love Story and Splendour in the Grass. Both about young love lost!

    25. Caroline says:
      Tue, 5th Feb 20133:54 pm 

      Moment in splendour in the grass would be when they reunite and realize that Love they felt is now gone. So tragic to think of the petty reasons they were torn apart and the effects of it.

      I love the Age of Innocence – I'm a big fan of star-crossed love stories :)

      Mine is in Stardust, when Yvaine realizes that Tristan does love her and her love for Tristan allowed her to shine, vaporizing Lamia in a blinding flash of pure starlight.
      "What do stars do best?"

      Cher: "That's not true."
      Josh: "It's…not?"
      Cher: "No."
      Josh: "Are you saying…you care about me?"
      Cher: "Oh Josh–"

      [KISS]
