  1. Thanx for putting “City Lights” up there , it’s one of my favorites of all.

  2. This isn’t a movie it’s a series. But the best romantic gesture I ever saw was from HBO”S True Blood. Sookie was getting beat up by the serial killer. Bill the vampire came out into the sunlight & walked across the field & tried to save her. It was the most romantic gesture ever.
