Both me and my mom can NEVER take the smiles off of our faces whenever we see Maria and the Captain dancing the Landler in The Sound of Music. My mom showed me the film for the first time when I was only six years old and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since then and it’s been one of my all time favorite films ever since, and like my mom, the Landler dance scene is also my all time favorite scene because it’s so beautiful. Every time I watch the film and I approach the scene, I always pause it and holler for my mom in case she wants to see it. More often than not, she says she can’t come, only for me to spy her peering in my doorway at the last minute 😂 (I can see out of the corner of my eye)

Couldn't agree more… For me, The Sound of Music is the top and I really think it should be higher😢… Till today, though having seen many different movies, the dance between Maria and Captain in The Sound of Music is still the most romantic scene in films I thought. The dreamy chemistry is beyond description, overflowing the screen… My heart is touched, melted and broken… I know The Sound of Music(1965) isn't a love movie, but the chemistry and love between Maria and Captain is unmatched… Whether their daily talk, this dance, or the KISS later… Always make my heart quiver, which is very rare to me even when I was seeing some iconic love movies. The chemistry✨……

An Affair to Remember is definitely #1. At this point in the movie, the heart-broken and hurt Cary Grant starts looking for his painting of Kerr that he heard a woman in a wheelchair had purchased and is now suspecting was Deborah Kerr who has her legs covered with a blanket while she lays on the sofa. When he finds it, he closes his eyes in pain as he realized it was her in the wheelchair. Then, he says, "If it had to happen to one of us, why DID it have to be you?" I had a very hard time keeping my composure the first time I saw this.

What do you think of the original version, "Love Affair", starring Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer? Boyer's reaction to finding the painting ... he makes it so easy to imagine somebody going through what his character is going through at that moment, and I just start blubbering like a ninny.

Without a doubt, the love scene that comes to my mind first when I think of all time greats is from Rocky. When Rocky invites Adrian up to his apartment after their first date, but she’s too shy to come inside all the way so she stands in the doorway and he comes over to her, faces her, takes off her hat and her glasses and tells her he’s going to kiss her and then leans in to do it … it would melt any girl!

One of my all time favorite movies that I go back to time and again is 1955's "Marty". There's no big romantic scene, just two lonely people who meet at a dance on a Saturday night, spending the evening talking and walking together NYC while slowly falling in love. The end scene makes my heart sing because Marty (Ernest Borgnine) doesn't give a damn about how his mother and best friend think of Clare (Betsy Blair), he just knows that he had a good time the night before and if he has enough good times with her, he's going to get down on his knees and beg her to marry him. Such a simple, quiet and realistic film.

Yes, that film is very interesting. I used to see it on TCM - it's beautifully acted and written. Obviously an "ugly duckling turned to swan by romance" story - but it was also a quite modern film for its time, the early 1940s. The storyline sets the oppressed daughter/premature spinster against her smug, elegant mother in a way that prefigures the postwar films about young people in revolt against their families and society (James Dean etc): Charlotte really is a teenager whose liberation has been stunted by her cold, controlling mum, and the movie makes it clear that she needs to defy her mother, stand up to her - the scene earlier when she is telling Jerry about a former lover whom she adored precisely because "he had defied my mother!" and raised her above her grey situation, but the guý soon got forced out and ousted from her life by the same mum, is a key to the entire film. It's probably not a coincidence that this is also one of the first Hollywood films that mentions psychoanalysis, and presenting it as a serious method of recovery. Even if this motive of "liberation from the family" is cut short a bit in the film because Charlotte's mother kills herself by falling down the stairs, giving her more freedom, it still remains present through the entire film.

Lady Hamilton) Oh, and on the subject of Robin and Marian's exquisite love scene from The Adventures of Robin Hood: can we take a minute to appreciate Erich Wolfgang Korngold's gorgeous score?

Swing time with Fred and Ginger was amazing. And that final scene took days to shoot.

My opinion I think that with the exception of the Sound of music they all seem so melodramatic. Perhaps it was a legacy of the Era. The Sound of music on the other hand was understated yet powerful.

The last few scenes in Lili are very romantic, when Lili dances with the Puppets and realized, that all of them were Paul and then she recognized that Paul is in love with her and she loves him too. Lili with Leslie Caron and Mel Ferrer

An overlooked romantic scene is when St. Bernadette is traveling to the convent, and the boy who loves her stops the carriage to say goodbye. We know Bernadette has been convinced she cannot live a normal life of marriage & children after Mary appears to her (why, I'll never know why that should matter), and the boy hands her flowers and says he will never marry also. The look of love that passes between them, no touching, no kiss, just three-hankie understanding that they love each other and are denied that love when oh-so young is beautifully romantic.

These are all great picks, but the whole "You Were Meant for Me" dance sequence from "Singin' in the Rain" should have at least gotten an honorable mention. So romantic especially after he did all that work to create "the proper setting".

I absolutely agree with others below who say its a travesty that the dance scene in The King and I was an afterthought. The intense look he gives her as she moves her arms behind her. Then he slowly walks toward her arm extended. OMG!!!! And then he does it AGAIN! THAT made me swoon. So maybe more sexy than romantic but really - to not even give it an honorable mention. For shame!

You showed a fleeting second of the wonderful ‘Shall We Dance’ from The King and I. It should have been at the top of the list on its own. Another one, maybe too recent, is the ending of An Officer and a Gentleman, where Richard Gere’s character comes into the paper bag factory and sweeps Debra Winger’s character off her feet and carries her out. 💋

Great picks. My favorite is Errol Flynn. I’ve watched all his movies many times. He’s possibly the most underrated actor Hollywood ever presented. Perhaps his lifestyle caught up with him but he gave so many stellar performances, many worthy of an Oscar and he was never even nominated which is inexcusable for such a talent. He was born to be in front of the camera, was completely natural, athletic and easily the most handsome guy ever. There’s no part he couldn’t play. Who wouldn’t fall in love with him?

@lydiah12 Жыл бұрын

I'm glad there's a Gene Kelly musical somewhere on this list - he played lovestruck SO well, both through his acting and his dancing. I personally would've rather picked something from Singin' in the Rain, though - either one of the scenes between Don and Kathy or the dream ballet within the dream ballet, with Cyd Charisse in her white outfit. And there weren't as many animated films to pick from back then, but I'll give a nod to the Prince serenading Snow White while she smiles down at him from the balcony : )

In my humble opinion, the most sexually charged and romantic encounter in movies is the Moonglow sequence in "Picnic." One can feel the high voltage going through Bill Holden and Kim Novak, while they gracefully slide through the notes of Moonglow.
