What would be the basis for a good love scene?

Amount of skin = 9 Songs, nuff said
Tension =
Romance = Titanic, that hand on the glass of a steamy car was hot!
Unexpectedness = Wild Things

gratuitous

He said he was so drunk he didn't remember the photo shoot. But, to his credit he said that was no excuse and, yes, that was the end of his marriage to Rita.

from It's a Wonderful Life - more of an "admitting we're in love" scene than a love scene, though.

but I love the scene in "The Birdcage" where Albert and Armand are sitting on the bench. Armand tells him he has to move his cemetery plot so he'll "never miss a laugh." He also says something about home is wherever Albert is.

It's just so quiet and real.

30. The Remains of the Day
Wed Jun 17, 2015, 09:47 PM
Jun 2015

When Miss Kenton, the housekeeper, invites herself into Stevens's, the butler's, private office. She sees Stevens is reading a book. She goes to him slowly, he gets up, she kinda corners him. She inquires, sweetly seductively, about the book he's reading, and he's reluctant to show it to her. Finally she takes it, and says, "it's just a sentimental love story."

He breaks the amazing sexual tension, tender though, by explaining clinically why he reads all types of books from his Lordship's shelves.

She is so in love with him, and he is incapable of breaking down and acknowledging that he is in love with her. Later that night she is seen sitting on the floor in her quarters, crying her heart out.

One of the most moving scenes I've ever seen in any movie. I haven't done it a tenth of the justice it deserves.

If you haven't seen - or read - The Remains of the Day, do. Oh, do.

I have no idea why I never knew about this series (I think I was immersed in college studies) when the books first came out. I am so glad I kept Starz!!!!

I just finished the first book after some friends suggested I read even though I watched to whole season. It helped a lot, can't wait to read the 2nd book!
