The lesbian romance scene in _Mulholland Drive_ is very touching. 🙂

Oh yes.  
“What are you looking at, sir?”  
“I’m looking at you, miss.”

The library scene in **Atonement** is one of the hottest things I’ve ever seen, and no nudity to speak of.

The proposal scene from **Pride and Prejudice** (2005 version). “You have bewitched me body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you…and never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”
