This portion of the blog is my personal favorite displays of affection/love in films. In my opinion these scenes are beautifully filmed and acted to convey love with a tenderness, sweetness, sometimes sensuality, intensity, or passion that is almost palpable. It's all so sweet that it almost hurts. These characters truly love each other as lovers/spouses but some in less typical ways. I don't get tired of these scenes no matter how many times I watch them and they never seem to lose the "magic" for me. Again these are in no particular order just listing as they come to me.
The expressions of love that I mention run the gamut from a look, to tender words of passion/love, to a warm and tender embrace, on to powerful kisses whether due to their simplicity or passion, and sometimes culminating in total physical lovemaking:
Harry to Geraldine in the show The Vicar of Dibley (I know it isn't a movie but it is super romantical)
Edward to Elinor in Sense and Sensibility
Wentworth to Anne in Persuasion (I'm speaking specifically of the version starring Ciaran Hinds as Wentworth)
Mark to Bridget in Bridget Jones Diary
Any of the verbal exchanges in Love Actually (except for the forbidden love/homewrecker/cheating ho bag situation of course)
Leon rescuing Mathilda at the police station and then Leon and Mathilda talking in the kitchen at the end of Leon the Professional
All of the scenes between Sean and Mary Kate in The Quiet Man
