What is even happening?

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 the barn after Diana's engagement party?
Oh, sigh. OTP 4eva!
Just about everything from True Romance. Also Tim and Daisy from The Office.
I haven't seen all of the UK series, Jars. Did you mean Dawn, or is Daisy another character? Jim and Pam from the US version are also adorable.

Can someone point me where I can find the Oz/Willow "freeze frame" conversation/quote? I would love you forever.

Willow: I wish they'd hurry.

Oz: So, do you guys steal weapons from the Army a lot?

Willow: Well, we don't have cable, so we have to make our own fun.

Oz: I get you.

Willow: Do you wanna make out with me?

Oz: What?

Willow: Forget it. I'm sorry. Well, do you?

Oz: Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Oz: Oh, I'm not gonna kiss you.

Willow: What? But freeze frame!

Oz: Well, to the casual observer, it would appear that you're trying to make your friend Xander jealous or even the score or something. And that's on the empty side. See, in my fantasy when I'm kissing you, you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Oh, yup. I was getting confused with Spaced names. Tim and Dawn, or Jim and Pam, yup.

hip deep in pie

Where is everyone?

I am trying to concentrate on the fact that I have a three day week next week, in order to get me through today, but I really don't want to be here.

My place is the same, msbelle, and I don't even have extreme heat as an excuse.

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

You know what's freaky? When this (video, audio NSFW) starts playing in the middle of the night on the computer in your bedroom.

I'm not sure why the page chose then, but it freaked me out. I've never even seen the movie.

Are you ready to be strong?

Romantic: Pride and Prejudice. Particularly the scenes at Pemberley, and the scene when Darcy hands Elizabeth the letter. I think I almost died the first time I read that scene.

Oh god yes.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh my yes. And Strega's comments earlier were dead on.

ita, if you haven't seen that movie, you should. "Don't fuck with the Jesus." And the nihilists. And - well, just see it.

Well, I've heard all the fucks. I feel like I've had the good bits.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Weirdly, some of the most romantic movie moments for me are the moments when nothing happens -- when it might, and both characters realize how easily it could (and perhaps that it definitely will, and neither one can stop it), but just this moment it doesn't quite. There's the scene in Holiday when Johnny and Linda are up in the old playroom hiding from the Huge Society Party downstairs, mournfully waltzing to one of her old childhood music boxes, and then all the bells in New York ring for the new year. He leans into her, looking befuddled and intent and like he's really seeing her for the first time, and says just about the most inane thing anyone could say, "Linda, you're so sweet." They nearly kiss, and she wants it ferociously but at the last second she shrinks back because he is after all her sister's fiancé. And she sends him away because it's the right thing to do, and then she collapses in despair because he was right there and she sent him away.

Leaves me in a puddle, every time, and there's really not much dialogue and they barely touch. It's just all the tension and the tornness and the possibility and frustration. Guh.
