If you fancy a bit of romance this Valentine's Day, get yourself a pottery wheel and a bit of moist clay.
Alternatively you could just settle down with a bottle of vino and watch Ghost after the scene when Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze get filthy (hands) in the pottery scene is voted the most romantic film moment of all time.
In a survey by Blockbusters, the second most heart-warming (or vomit-worthy - depending on your cynicism level) movie moment is the scene from Titanic when Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are perched precariously on the ship's prow in that 'flying' mode.
Romantic comedy queen Meg Ryan did well in the poll, with her scene from You've Got Mail - when she mets Tom Hanks for the first time - coming third.
Her New Year's kiss with Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally came fourth.
Joint fifth went to the scene in Sweet Home Alabama when Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas' characters are on the beach when lightening strikes twice and the scene when Adam Sandler sings to Drew Barrymore from first class on the airplane in The Wedding Singer was sixth.
No room for classic romances like Gone With The Wind - or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre then.

How about the scene at the end of McLintock!, where Wayne give O'Hara the spanking she deserves? ;)
I was just going to type that. God, that scene was fantastic.
I forgot about the spanking! That was good too.
Impetuous...
Ooops...responded to the wrong post!
I get excited every time I see the scene in "To Have And Have Not" where Bacall tells Bogart, "If you need me just whistle. You do know how to whistle, don't you Steve? You just put your lips together and BLOW."
Bacall was SOOOOO HOT!
Bacall/Bogie would be in the top 5, for sure.
The rooftop scene in "True Romance" where Alabama tells Clarence that she was a whore but now her feelings for him are real.
The sunrise on the solar panels scene in "Gattaca" with Una Thurman and Ethan Hawke.
The two surprise kiss at the water fountain scenes in "Great Expectations" once when they were 12 and later as adults.
Speed, unfortunately I'm not familiar with any of those movies. I'm sure many others are though.
When the Terminator pulls the tarp off the mini-gun and smiles... Love a first sight.
A scene from "Debbie Does Dallas" when... oh, never mind.
I like the opening scene in "Shaving Ryan's Privates". You really believe that the coed has no money to giv ethe pizza man!
Here's a soldier of the South who loves you, Scarlett, wants to feel your arms around him, wants to carry the memory of your kisses into battle with him. Never mind about loving me. You're a woman sending a soldier to his death with a beautiful memory. Scarlett, kiss me. Kiss me, once.
Sigh.
"Shaving Ryan's Privates".
