Top 20 Most Romantic Moments in Classic Hollywood Movies

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I’m glad Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews couldn’t stop giggling because Something Good is one of the most visually beautiful scenes I’ve ever seen

[@kellicoffman8440]

Me too it’s my favorite part even more than the dance

[@brendadrew834]

@rubygracemoseley8144 Liltingly lovely, and lovely Austrian folk dance, a very touching and moving scene! ♥♥♥♥

[@DinGrogu16]

Sabrina is one of my favourite films. I also like the remake with Harrison Ford.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

There’s something so beautifully and romantically unique about old Hollywood movies…They’re dramatic, romantic, passionate, fun, beautiful and dreamy…I love them…

[@Bintexas]

That is because of the often derided morality code of the time. Having to portray passion without overt dialogue or sex scenes is far more interesting than today’s movies. But, writers had to be clever then and that was much more difficult than making every other word F#$&

@rubygracemosely8144 You must be an old romantic soul like myself! 💗💗💗

I love an “Affair to Remember”. Good for Ms Mojo to not reveal the moment he realized why she didnt show up that day. It will give you tingles.

[@MrCharliefarlie123]

Me too

[@mfva1824]

For me the car scene where Princess Anne says goodbye to Joe in Roman Holiday should be on the list; it's so beautiful ❤❤❤

[@bravehome4276]

You beat me to it. Also, their more formal goodbye at the final press event, where they express such longing, sadness and yet joy with their eyes....

[@brendadrew834]

Agree! ♥♥♥

[@SaundraHoxie]

Absolutely the best

[@courtneyraymer6586]

My favorite was in the final scene of “Random Harvest” when Ronald Colman recalls the missing memory that’s haunted him for years and recognizes Greer Garson as his true love.

[@katelinhunt6509]

Oh Smithy! 😢

[@theresamultistan4549]

Notorious ending with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman is my favorite.

[@Bintexas]

Anything with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman is my favorite. Indiscreet is also good.

[@jorgegrau6453]

To me the most romantic and also sensual scene in movies has to be the dance scene in "Picnic" where William Holden and Kim Novac didn't have to say a word, just dance to the sound of "Moonglow" and look at each other while just holding hands.

[@carolync9783]

Omg yesss ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Loulizabeth]

Really hope this list introduces some younger generations to these amazing films and their actors performances. Really wish more reactors would react to more of these old classics. They are classics for a reason. Glad the last scene of An Affair To Remember got first place but so many great scenes included.

[@Bintexas]

💯💯. Too many younger ppl refuse to watch b&w movies and miss so much. I kind of understand because I dont have the patience to watch silent films. But, at least watch Casablanca. It is one I can watch over and over. Also, “The Women” from 1939.

[@trinaq]

"Somewhere" always makes me tear up, since we know that things between the gangs won't end up going as well as Tony and Maria hope they will. The remake makes it even more impactful, where it's sung by Rita Moreno.

[@maryspeer7229]

My #1. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and Spencer Tracy's final scene where he tells his daughter and her fiance how much he loved his wife and if they even have a portion of that love, they'll have everything.

[@brendadrew834]

Thank you for the trip down Memory Lane! I was born in 1948, during the Golden Age of Hollywood and have seen many of these great classic romantic films more than once or twice. That iconic era influenced my career as a NYC fashion illustrator! But, you forgot a few, my all time favorite, the fabulous Academy award winning "Dr. Zhivago", 1964, great acting/direction, starring the late great handsome Omar Sharif and British beauty , Best Actress of the Year, Julie Christie, British actor Tom Courtney and the late great Rod Steiger, which I saw six times in a row when I was in my teens! Gorgeous soundtrack and cinematography! A sweeping romantic epic film! I'll never forget when I saw "Gone With The Wind" 1939, on Broadway in 1970, remastered! When Clark Gable showed up at the bottom of the stairs, every single woman in the audience gasped at his famous handsome face! This over 30 years later, the same reaction! Another one is a rare gem, "Little Shop Around the Corner", another classic romantic film, starring the late great Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan who committed suicide in the 1950s! You would also love that! Along with the great best picture of the year, "Casablanca with "Bogie" and the incomparable, brilliant Oscar winning Ingrid Bergman, and "Brief Encounter", is one of my all time favorites as well, perfect match to Russian composer, Rachminoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, sweepingly and weepingly romantic! "Far From the Madding Crowd" is another sweeping romantic epic film like Zhivago, also starring Julie Christie and the late handsome Peter Finch and British actor Terrance Stamp, filmed in the lovely English countryside that the Brits are famous for! That famous soundtrack is a true masterpiece by British composer Richard Rodney Bennet, the Brits are also true romantics like the French, Italians and Germans i.e. their Romantic composers/writers i.e. German Romanticism! Many of these stars had actual romances with their co-stars! Interesting to me was seeing that the apt. in "The Apartment" was 2A, my apt number when I lived on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, many moons ago! Die hard Romantic here! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@betzaidanolasco2889]

This might sound random, but because of your comment, I think you might be able to help me find a film I can't remember the name of. It's a classic romance movie of a man who is accused of some crime, I'm not sure if it's of killing his boss or burning down the place. He didn't do it, but because he's been unjustly convicted, he runs away and is now wanted. He goes to a woman's house where she's afraid he's a thief breaking in, and he faints (I can't remember if from injury or exhaustion), and she helps him. I would really appreciate your help!

[@creidy3343]

@@betzaidanolasco2889 Did you get an answer to your question? Movie sounds vaguely familiar but all I can think of is The Fugitive and Three Days of the Condor and they don't really fit your description. If you never saw the Condor movie, you should. When I try to Google it, I get THE INTRUDER. but that's no classic romance.

[@betzaidanolasco2889]

@creidy3343 Hi, I didn't get a response, except for yours. Sadly, it's none of the ones you mentioned. I forgot to mention that it's a black and white movie, if that makes a difference. And I think the woman was going to or did hit the male protagonist with a pan when she saw him in her home. I never finished watching it, and all I remember is this opening scene of his false accusation, his running away, newspapers and wanted signs, and then the break-in scene with the woman, most likely the female protagonist.

[@creidy3343]

It is curious that Debra Kerr appears in 3 of the films in the list. Hers is a name seldom mentioned anymore, but she left quite a legacy.

[@kaiYWang]

My favorite actress!

[@junelongoria5833]

I always thought she was a fabulous actress. She never got the credit she deserved.

[@trinaq]

I can thank "Sleepless in Seattle" and Rita Wilson's emotional explanation for introducing me to "An Affair to Remember." It was remade in 1994 as "Love Affair", starring real life couple Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, with it serving as a final role for Katharine Hepburn.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

Interestingly, I actually saw an Affair To Remember before Sleepless in Seattle, but I still knew the connection from my father telling me

[@emilyholasek63]

Add Victor Garber and Tom Hanks crying over The Dirty Dozen and it's comedy gold.

[@Bintexas]

An Affair to Remember was a remake from a movie from 1939 called Love Affair. I have never watched it because no other version will ever meet the standard of the Cary Grant version. The scenes with his grandmother in France are so sweet.

[@bravehome4276]

[@sarahmorgan992]

In "What's up Doc," when Barbra Streisand tells Ryan O'Neill, "Of all the gin joints in the world and he walks into mine." Its at that moments the characters fall in love.

Return to Me, Letters to Juliet, Leap Year, Just Like Heaven. Best ones on your list

[@dandowe1985]

Thanks for including BYOOL! One of the best ever.

Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck filmed in Italy that is my most romantic movie I’ve ever seen. Especially when Gregory Peck walks down the hallway alone daddy Albert won the Academy award for best supporting actor and he deserved it Debra Bader.

[@lar9299]

Woops, forgot another great one, Academy Award winning Best Picture of the Year, "On Golden Pond", starring the late great many times over Oscar winning Kate Hepburn and the late great Oscar winning Henry Fonda, Jane's father whom she also stars with in this iconic film! Beautiful cinematography, and absolutely beautiful lovely soundtrack, as well, great acting/direction and ranked #22, the greatest love story by the AFI, American Film Institute! Not to be missed either!

[@crystalstanley4960]

In Sabrina they are NOT twirling on a dance floor in Paris. They are in Glen Cove, Long Island.

[@waittillfamewtf2385]

Runaway Bride - "The Graduate" (1967)

[@bravehome4276]

Great scenes all! I'd add: 1. Carl and Ellie's life together opening montage from "Up". 2. Jamie's proposal to Aurélia in "Love Actually". 3. Rapunzel's grief to joy scene with Flynn near end of "Tangled".

[@SuperBeachbum74]

#3 the final scene in Zeffirelli’s “ Romeo and Juliet “ between the main characters .

[@christianhardtofind6349]

For me it's "The Lady Eve" from 1941 that's the real winner. Particularly the scenes on the boat ("They say a moonlit deck is a woman's business office." "What I see inside I'll never be able to cast into words.") and the ending ("So am I, darling. So am I.")

[@tizianamorandi5381]

Waterloo Bridge is one of the most romantic movies! Vivien Leigh & Robert Taylor ..

[@EdouardBManoukian]

You forgot "Love is a Many Splendored Thing". I agree about An Affair to Remember. The Chaplin ending should have closer to one so is Brief Encounter. What about Random Harvest ?.

[@skylark1250]

Best kiss has to be between Maureen O’Hara and Walter Pidgeon in “How Green Was My Valley.” It’s an emotional parting for them as he won’t marry her and subject her to a life of poverty with his being a pastor.

[@kkpenney444]

Wow, three with Deborah Kerr!

[@sarahmorgan992]

In "Romancing the Stone," the final scene. Michael Douglas tells Kathleen Turners character the alligator died in his arms. She replies that's where I wanna be. Its a great end to love restored.

The ghost and Mrs muir

Titanic: Rose jumps out of the lifeboat and back onto the ship to be with Jack. Then they run to each other, find each other, and finally embrace. Best scene in the entire movie, rivaling the final scene 😢

Not from Hollywood, but from France: " The umbrellas of Cherbourg" starring Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo. The scene at the train station.

#4 Janet Margolin to Michael parks in the film “ Bus Riley’s Back in Town “. He in low self esteem asks Janet Margolin “ what do you think of me ?” . She replies “ you’re the kindest man I’ve ever known “. He then asks why ? She replies “ the way you talked to me at a time I was feeling low “. He then asks to kiss her and does saying “ thank you “. She replies “ you don’t have to thank me “. He says again softer “ thank you “.

[@annmarshall5615]

1939 Wuthering Heights, especially the scene where Laurence Olivier tells Merie Oberon, If he loved you all his lifetime, it still be as much as I do in a single day. Also the scene in Casablanca When Rick tell Sam to play it, if she can take so can I.

[@melissavermillion1101]

Winona Ryder and Gabriel Byrne in Little Women kiss in the "rafters" of an opera house during a performance of The Pearl Fishers. The scene where Mr. Darcy admits his love once and for all to Keira Knightley's Lizzie. Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer! the most beautiful wedding I've ever seen. Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis in Witness. And the winner? The movie Vertigo with Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novac- from beginning to end!!! But most especially when she comes out of her bathroom fully dressed as "Madeleine " and the two of them kiss for what seems like 10 minutes. Even as a little girl, I was entranced when I saw it.

Robin Hood is my favorite.

I am hoping someone here can help me find this film! I believe it's a classic black and white romance film (can't remember the decade) of a man who is accused of some crime, I'm not sure if it's of killing his boss or burning down the workplace. He didn't do it, but because he's been unjustly convicted, he runs away and is now wanted. He breaks into a woman's house seeking refuge, where she's afraid he's a thief breaking in, and he faints (I can't remember if from injury, as in he's hurt or if she hit him with a pan, or exhaustion), and she helps him. This is just the opening scene, and it's all I know because I never finished watching it. I'd appreciate anyone's help if they know the name of this black and white film!

[@SuperBeachbum74]

#5 in the film “ it could Happen to You “. Nicolas Cage tells Bridget Fonda he loves her . She replies, “ how can you love me as I cost you all the money “ ( lottery ticket). He replies , “ I never cared about the money “.
