[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scene in Love Actually when Colin Firth's character (Jamie) proposes, in very bad Portuguese, to Aurelia, who answers in broken English.

The scene in Sense and Sensibility when Edward finally visits Elinor at the cottage and the ladies learn that he hasn't married Miss Lisa Steele after all.[/quote]

Ha, that scene in Sense and Sensibility (the book) actually ranks among the least romantic scenes. Eleanor forces herself to show no emotion; Edward is literally dumfounded and runs away from her when she FINALLY shows emotion.  Maybe it's super romantic to the British?

"Elinor could sit it no longer. She almost ran out of the room, and as soon as the door was closed, burst into tears of joy, which at first she thought would never cease. Edward, who had till then looked any where, rather than at her, saw her hurry away, and perhaps saw—or even heard, her emotion; for immediately afterwards he fell into a reverie, which no remarks, no inquiries, no affectionate address of Mrs. Dashwood could penetrate, and at last, without saying a word, quitted the room, and walked out towards the village—leaving the others in the greatest astonishment and perplexity on a change in his situation, so wonderful and so sudden;—a perplexity which they had no means of lessening but by their own conjectures."[/quote]
