Ghost tops romantic love scenes poll
Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze's clinch over a pottery wheel in Ghost has been voted the top love scene in a film poll of UK cinema-goers.
The scene from the 1991 supernatural romance, which also starred Whoopi Goldberg, took 22% of the 3010 votes cast at UCI cinemas across the UK.
Top five romantic scenes 1. Ghost (Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze)
2. Love Story (Ali McGraw, Ryan O'Neal)
3. Four Weddings and a Funeral (Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell)
4. Pretty Woman (Richard Gere, Julia Roberts)
5. Casablanca (Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart)
"Ghost" beat classic scenes such as the final goodbye on the airport tarmac in the drama "Casablanca" (1942), and Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr's embrace on the beach in "From Here To Eternity" (1953).
The list does include a number of classic romances from yesteryear.
The scene where Jenny (Ali McGraw) dies in Oliver's (Ryan O'Neal) arms in "Love Story" was a surprise second favourite.
Scenes from 90s romances "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Pretty Woman" came in at number three and number four.
"Casablanca" has been called the most romantic film ever
The airport farewell between Ingrid Bergman's Ilsa and Humphrey Bogart's Rick in Casablanca made number five.
The romantic list also included scenes from "Brief Encounter" (number six), "Gone With The Wind" (number seven), "From Here To Eternity" (number eight) and "Bridget Jones' Diary" (number nine).
And the scene from "Titanic" where Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio stand at the prow of the doomed liner was number 10.
"The favourite film moments chosen here by our guests are a really interesting mix of tear-jerkers, passionate declarations and scenes to make you smile," said a UCI spokeswoman.

To: Darheel
the soundtrack was great in against all odds (it added to the eroticism). i've never seen always...somehow seeing richard dreyfuss in a romantic scene would be like taking an icy shower.
To: Countyline
Demi dating Pee Wee Clinton has made me lose some ardor for her. Kinda like the stuff they put in our mashed potatoes when I went through boot camp.

AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER and WUTHERING HEIGHTS Loved both of those.
To: janetgreen
Loved "Affair to Rememember" Wurthering Heights" and will add "Back Street" "Forever Young" was good also and was replayed on TV this am.
To: Petronski
lol!
I can't remember who plays his long lost love- and there's not really a love scene per se. The end of that movie is a heartbreaker.
To: yankeedame
The "pizza delivery" scene from "Inside Desiree Cousteau". There's nothing more romantic than kazoo music.

Always, that's the one with the pilots, right?
If I remember right that is one very sentimental movie.
Politics aside, Holly Hunter is great.
