Valentine's Day has a way of putting us in the mood . . . to cuddle up with a romantic movie. But which flick contains the most amorous, bodice-ripping, sweep-you-off-your-feet scene of all time?
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Audrey Hepburn
The phone scene with George Bailey
and Mary Hatch from It’s a Wonderful Life:
That one gets my Vote too !
.....THUNDER....
That's it.
The end of “Pride and Prejudice” with Colin Firth. Not the typical love scene of modern day. They are in love and have not even held hands. They are married and as they leave in a buggy, he just plants a huge kiss on her. Oh... the passion!!
My wife agrees with you completely.
Yep, I never cared much for the theme of it.
LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING - beautiful song too.
Maybe not THE MOST romantic scene, but a notable one, and a favorite of mine:
In “Jackie Brown” when Jackie and Max Cherry are sitting at her kitchen table, they have a really wonderful chemistry. Nothing ever happens except one kiss during the movie (not in this scene), but it is clear they are very attracted to each other, and the electricity between them is something you don’t see in the movies quite like this scene.
This takes place while The Delfonics’ “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)” plays on her stereo.
Pam Grier is so hot and sweet, and Robert Forster is a good match for her.
Enjoy:
“Casper”.
That was truly beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. It made my Valentine’s Day!
Here’s the better video.

So beautiful! I love the line... “can I keep you?”
Absolutely! “Notorious” (1946) starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman.
Here are the 3 kissing scenes. The second scene (on the balcony) is wonderful.

2. Romance? There was some good chemistry between Carole Bouquet and Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only (e.g. when the carriage driver, now knowing English, overhears Bond arguing with her about her safety) and says to himself, "Amoré!"
3. My Fair Lady when Audrey Hepburn sings "I Could Have Danced All Night"
4. John Belushi and Blair Brown in Continental Divide : the scene where the conductor comes to collect tickets, and John pays with cash, to hear the quip, "That'll give you about ... ten more minutes" ; or the scene in the Natural History museum where they meet up and say to each other, "I'm over you..." "...and I'm over you" and end up like crazed weasels about 30 seconds later ;-)
5. Renee Russo and Pierce Brosnan on the staircase in the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair.
6. The maid-in-waiting covering for the young lovers in Shakespeare in Love.
7. The tension between Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday.
8. (Heartbreaking) -- the closing scene of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (almost enough to make me like George Lazenbee)
9. Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby: to me, this film is the personification of the quip that classic films all have the story line "Boy meets girl, Girl gets Boy into pickle, Boy gets Pickle into Girl"
10. In a similar vein, Madeleine Kahn and Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles (one word: schnitzengruben!)
Cheers!
I DESPISE VEVO /// The Vids work half the time...the Commercials Always work then it Freezes ....
I just close it as soon as I see Vevo anymore ... just don’t have the time
TT
Cheers!
Not familiar with this scene but she is beautiful and looks troubled. Just the kind of damsel I could’ve “rescued” about fifty years ago.
...what's a bodice...?
