Most Loved Romantic Film Scenes

Over the years we’ve organised thousands of romantic trips for couples, from holidays to celebrate an engagement to big bash anniversary trips. We know that an exotic destination can be the perfect backdrop for incredibly romantic moments, but it got us wondering what the most popular fictional romantic moments were.

We took to YouTube to find out, analysing hundreds of clips from famous romance films, using the thumbs up and thumbs down data to reveal which are truly the most loved.

From declarations of affection, loved-up frolics and moments of serenading, here’s the top 10 list of cinematic moments that make our hearts swell.
