Best love scene of all time


It's a big call I know, but for me this is by far, by far, the best love scene I've ever seen in a movie. I'm of course referring to the scene where she's dressing Tom Cruise's in armour. It's just so intimate, and tender, and beautifully done. No words are spoken, an no words need to be spoken, it says so much. And they barely touch each other, she just kind of rests her head on his should at the end, and it's just beautiful, it's powerful.

And the significance of it all, her dressing him in her dead husbands armour that he killed, wow, just wow. So unlike Hollywood, no titillation, no gratuitousness or nudity.

Second favourite for me is the scene from The Bourne Identity where Jason is cutting Maria's hair, that was my favourite love scene of all time till I saw this.

You should watch Out of Africa, he washes her hair.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum.

I agree. It's highly unrealistic, but it fitted within the slightly skewed version of Japanese culture so I let it slide 
