The first one that ever struck me still remains: When James Dean kissed Natalie Wood in _Rebel Without a Cause_. I would have willingly given my life and died with a smile on my face if she had just kissed me like that… Here’s a third vote for _Lone Star_. I’d pick the scene at the abandoned drive-in theater as the best, but that whole movie was exceptional. ---

> [@](#): > > I like the scene in When Harry Met Sally… where Harry finds her at the New Year’s Eve party and tells her all the stuff he loves about her. Me too. Also **Moulin Rouge** , The scene on top of the elephant when they first start falling for eachother. ---

Two I remember from “The Man With 2 Brains”:1. The scene with Michael and Ann’s brain in the rowboat when he placed the wax lips on the jar and kissed her. 2. The final scene: Ann’s brain has been transplanted into Kathleen Turner’s body, and it turns out Ann is a compulsive eater: Ann: You don’t mind that I’m so fat? Michael (looking at her lovingly): What fat? (kisses her) This appealed to me on two levels–First, because I’m attracted to larger women, and second, Kathleen Turner’s face on that body. GRRRRR! 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-men-only-your-favorite-romantic-scene-in-a-movie/305096.md?page=4)
