Question of the Day

Shaker Constant Comment suggested that, having explored what movie scenes make us laugh and cry, we go on to favorite romance scenes in movies. I like that one, and I know there are plenty of romantics around here who will probably like it, too. My all-time favorite has to be the scene in The Piano when Holly Hunter lifts her skirt, revealing the tiniest hole in her black stockings, through which peers the tiniest bit of her skin. Harvey Keitel puts his finger on top of the hole and gently caresses her; she sits bolt upright and her breath catches in her throat. The look she gives him...oh. It has to be one of the sexiest things ever put on film. So how about you? What's your favorite romantic scene of all time?
