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.)

Yes, but also the scene where they first sleep together in the car.

For sexy, I think the scene in the English Patient when they finally have sex.

No flaming here. It's lovely.

So if I supply some ideas, know that I’m just watching what’s available. Not the best flicks.


Hey, don't worry -- what works for you, is what works for you. No apologies needed! Bring on the scenes.

This is the one for me, for the music alone. Patrick Doyle, FTW.

From Veronica Mars- I loved that scene when she and Logan kiss outside the hotel room for the first time. I thought they had great chemistry.

I loved the Gilbert/Anne engagement moment too.

Romance comes in many forms.

“It was you Fredo” from The Godfather Part II

Also Steve Martin to Victoria Tennant in LA Story

“ All I know is, on the day your plane was to leave, if I had the power, I would turn the winds around, I would roll in the fog, I would bring in storms, I would change the polarity of the earth so compasses couldn't work, so your plane couldn't take off.“
