What Are The Most Romantic TV Or Movie Moments That Don't Feature The Words "I Love You"?

" 22.8 miles . " " You reckon it up . "

There are a lot of incredible actors who have absolutely mind-blowing chemistry with their costars. So much so that even the smallest gestures in a scene or lines in a script somehow become the most romantic moments in TV and film.

And while an “I love you” declaration is always a solid romantic moment on screen, many times, what characters say or do without uttering those three little words is more impactful. So, I want to know which instances of exactly that are your favorite.

Maybe you’re like me, and you just watched all ofBridgertonSeason 3, and you can’t get enough of Colin’s moment where he told Penelope he prefers dreaming because that is where he can be with her.

Perhaps nothing will compare to the iconic hand flex moment fromPride & Prejudice(2005), and you often come back to it because it’s THE most romantic thing ever put on film.

Maybe you often think about this small moment between Beth and Randall inThis Is Us, and how Randall compared his love for Beth to his favorite sound in the world.

Heck, perhaps out of a movie filled with romantic moments, you often find yourself coming back to when Henry took Alex to the museum, and they simply danced together inRed, White & Royal Blue(2023).
