Susanna (Juliet Ormond) to Tristan (the HOTTEST Brad Pitt character of all time IMO):

"I'll wait for you...I'll wait for you forever."

I'll wait for you ... until another brother notices her.

Oh snap!

Nah she realizes she can never have him and ends her life.

The scene where they run into each other at the fair (or whatever it was) is heartbreaking.

When Colonel Brandon comes to the house as Marianne lies gravely ill, is told there's nothing he can do, he's already done so much, and he says with such contained but real fervor, "Give me an occupation, or I shall run mad."

The line, and Alan Rickman in that role! Wonderful. The personification of honor, discretion and love that bides its time, even if that time might never arrive.

I am the pp who mentioned the scene with Edward Ferrar and Miss Dashwood, which, as a single scene, is swoon swoon. But, if you were to ask me the question of most romantic male lead in a film, I agree completely that it's Rickman as The Colonel in S&S. His performance is top-to-bottom perfect. I mean, what about the moment when Marianne recovers and sees him across the room, love is not love which alteration finds. Or the sweet moment when he tells her he "must away" and she responds "away?" and he realizes she loves him. I mean... amazeballs. He's fantastic. (She is too.)

PP to whom you're responding (hello) and I also was the one who said yup yup to the Elinor and Edward scene when he comes to the cottage. What a superb movie overall. I do agree that Rickman as Brandon plays the part so beautifully, and the character has such constancy. Yes, excellent catch on "...must away" and "Away?" Subtle but says volumes. To modern, ahem, sensibilities, the vast age difference between Marianne and Brandon could have seemed offputting even despite the period "It was done back then" setting, but Winslet and especially Rickman seemed so right together at the end, that it works.

Now I"m thinking of Emma Thompson, and pretty much all of "Much Ado About Nothing," the incredible version with Kenneth Branagh, Thompson and the swooniest Denzel Washington incarnation EVER is pretty much Romantic Moment beginning to end. If you have not seen that film, friend, bless yourself by doing so, stat. Repeatedly. The opening sequence, pairing the women hurriedly and eagerly preparing for the soldiers' arrival, while the soldiers wildly plunge into pools to prepare to see the women, all set to Patrick Doyle's score, is just its own kind of romantic. Not individual romance, but a whole world of lusty--yet strangely innocent!--joy.

I like him fine enough but I disagree with this. Watch the kissing in Bridget jones diary and love actually. His kisses look kinda gross to me. The least gross is P&P since it’s so quick.

the movie First Knight when Guinevere drinks from the tree in the rain and the “I Owe You a Kiss” scene as Lancelot says his farewell.

the romantic pull of him is not with kissing, it's the restrained longing.

I love this scene with Keanu [swoon]:

The whole movie is great if you haven't seen it, for a light rom-com.

I always loved that one — and then when he kisses her in the snow after he gets her a new notebook and wraps his jacket around her.

Mmmm so romantic

Room with a View - the kiss in the poppy fields scene.

I love so many movies already noted here - why don’t they make movies like this anymore?

Probably no one remembers Ally McBeal, but I loved her chemistry with Robert Downey Jr. for that one season he was on the show. The best was when he serenaded her with Every Breath you Take with Sting.
