Princess Bride! There is a shortage of perfect breasts in this world.
Huh. Not many of my movies are romantic. Or that funny.
Oh, is it Lethal Weapon III that has the scene with the scar comparison before they tumble into bed?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think Strega's right on the people acting different. One of the most romantic scenes I know is the bit in Anne of Avonlea where Gilbert begins to ask her to marry him, and she puts him off, and he says, "Please say yes," and his voice just breaks a little. In a series where everyone is so polite and cultured all the time, to have someone be so exposed, so vulnerable, just for a second--it just gets me.
So, vulnerability, yeah. That's really romantic. Because of the trust, or because they can't choose not to expose themselves.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

In the barn after Diana's engagement party?
Sigh.

I'm a big one for speeches, like Steve's "naked bottoms" one and Westley's "as you will" explanation (although it didn't make it into the movie), but there's the potential for it to be ham-handed. But I do like the tension-poured-out-in-a-cathartic-flood dramatic moment.

Oh! And in "The Matchmaker" with Janeane Garofalo, which nobody but me has ever seen, the scene where the guy sings even though he's got the worse voice in all of Ireland. I like that one.

Oh, that is a good scene! Terrible singing, sweet scene.
Saw it in the theater.

I have seen that movie many, many times. I own it!

Ha! Excellent. Of course, it has Denis Leary, which helps some. Bits of that movie pop into my head from time to time, like "a very bijoux room," and "it's great crack."

I assume by 'crack' you don't mean incredibly hard drugs.
