AARGH! I can't find the one I want--it's from RETURN TO ME. David Duchovny plays a man whose beloved wife is killed in a car wreck. A year later, he's met someone else. This is from their first date:

Elizabeth and I were married by the time we were twenty and we'd been going out since we were fifteen so this may sound a bit juvenile but... can I hold your hand?

There were a lot of lovely scenes in that movie *sigh* Now I want to go watch it again.
My favorite scene is when the dog keeps looking at the door for the wife to return, and David Duchovny's character breaks down.

Well, about half the movie was sadness, but the other half was full of sweetness. Love, Actually

...and for the Trekkies(like me)amongst us....sweet, yet so damn gut wrenching...it still makes me well up-even with Shatner's stock in trade over-acting...

I can still remember seeing that scene for the first time at the drive in, 1982-ish I think? I was.....angry...that Spock died. Do you remember the letter writing campaign they talked about on the news shortly thereafter? Thousands of pissed off Trekkies asking for the studio to write Spock back into the series..lol

Not a sweet scene, but the scene in Black Hawk Down where the two Delta Force snipers, Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon ask to be inserted close to a downed Black Hawk helicopter in Mogadishu, Somalia in order to try and rescue the pilot Mike Durant and the crew. These guys could see from the air what they were going to be dropping into, yet they still requested several times to try and save the pilot and crew. They weren't ordered in, they requested, multiple times, to be inserted into this no win situation just to have a chance of saving their fellow soldiers. A little over an hour later, both of the Delta Force snipers were killed, taking out over 30 enemy combatants. I had the honor several years ago to attend a class in Salt Lake City where the downed pilot, Mike Durant, was the guest speaker. He played audio recordings of the radio traffic between Delta Force sniper Gary Gordon, the helicopter pilot the snipers were aboard before being inserted, and the command center. It's eerie. There is no hint of fear whatsoever in Gordon's voice. He mentions several times that he can see a large group of armed Somalis approaching the downed helicopter and he seems to be impatient when command keeps denying his request to be inserted. After listening to the audio and hearing the anguish in Durant's voice as he spoke about these two heroes, I felt like a heel for complaining about anything in my life.

I get teary just thinking about that scene. I wanted to BE Spock when I was in second grade (But the boys always made me be Uhura when we played Star Trek, damn it!).
