    Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which TV and movie moments are super romantic, but they don't feature the words "I love you." Here are their top responses:

    🚨 There are obviously BIG spoilers ahead for several TV shows and movies! 🚨

    1. First, in Modern Family, when Mitch and Cam end up proposing to each other while changing a flat tire, and without really saying anything.

    ABC

    "Mitch and Cam's proposal. Enough said."

    2. In Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), when Waymond tells Evelyn in an alternate reality that he would've been happy just doing laundry and taxes with her.

    "This is coming from Waymond in a world where he and Evelyn have it all: rich, successful, famous, but they're not together. It's essentially saying, 'I love you, and I don't need anything; I just need you to make me happy. Even if we are stuck in the most mundane existence, at least I'm with you.'"

    3. In 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), when Kat reads her poem in class with Patrick sitting there, listening to every word.

    "It's just so poignant. Especially knowing that neither of them planned to cry in that scene, but they were so caught up in the moment that they broke character. Gosh, I miss Heath Ledger."

    "Every single confession in Bridgerton lives rent-free in my head, but especially Kate and Anthony's, 'You are the bane of my existence. And the object of all my desires.'"

    6. In You've Got Mail (1998), when Joe finally tells Kathleen that if they met under different circumstances, he would've asked for her number and they would've ended up together.

    10. In Yellowstone, when Rip makes Beth breakfast after she spends the night.

    Paramount

    "When a vulnerable Beth (usually strong, aggressive, and fiery) saw the breakfast Rip made for her, and after taking the first bite, she looked up at Rip, a usually tough, masculine, no-nonsense cowboy, and he’s watching her eat, and as their eyes meet, with a barely perceptible smile he slightly nods his head yes as if to say 'yes, I love you,' and she returns the sentiment with her eyes."

    11. In The Sound of Music (1965), when Maria and Capt. Von Trapp dance the Laendler together.

    "Such a simple and beautiful moment with minimal dialogue and a ridiculous amount of chemistry between them ❤️."

    —myf83

    12. In Beauty and the Beast (1991), when the Beast and Belle dance together in the ballroom as Mrs. Potts sings "Beauty and the Beast."

    Disney

    "The answer is the entire ballroom scene in Beauty and the Beast. It’s my favorite film. I saw it on release at 4 years old. I’m 37 now, and I’ve never cried during that scene because it just touches me so much.

    An argument could also be made for the scene where he gifts her the library, knowing how much it would mean to her, but the ballroom scene edges it out for me. It was his choice, and because when he lets her go, it’s because he’s finally learned to love someone more than himself. He was willing to give up everything for her."

    13. In Our Flag Means Death, when Stede tells Ed that he wears fine things very well after placing a pocket square in his vest's pocket.

    14. In Now, Voyager (1942), when Charlotte tells Jerry that they should ask for the moon because they already have the stars.

    "I just watched Now, Voyager for the first time ever, and this ending moment knocked me over. Also, no one has been hotter than Paul Henreid lighting two cigarettes in his mouth and passing one to Bette Davis."

    —noradominick

    15. In Big Fish (2003), when an older Edward Bloom is in the bathtub and his wife Sandra gets in, fully clothed, just to be close to him.

    "The love between them in that scene is palpable, especially when she lays her head on his chest, knowing that he is dying. Cracks your heart wide open. I tear up every time I see it. Every. Single. Time."

    —dizzypear686

    16. In The Last of Us, when Bill tells Frank that he doesn't want to live in the world without him and that their relationship was his purpose.

    "This was much more romantic than a simple 'I love you.'"

    17. In When Harry Met Sally (1989), when Harry tells Sally all the things he loves about her.

    "I love this big speech and how he basically rants about all her annoying habits that he loves."

    18. In Hannibal, when Will tells Hannibal that his past and future are determined based on when they met.

    "I can't imagine replying that way to someone who I wasn't head over heels for. Also, I mean, the conversation starts with the main pair reuniting and Hannibal saying to Will, 'If I saw you every day forever, Will, I would remember this time,' which is also just wow."

    19. In His Girl Friday (1940), when Walter tells Hildy that a part of him will go with her when she leaves.

    20. In The Old Guard (2020), when Joe tells the guard in the van that Nicky means more to him than he will ever dream.

    Joe saying that Nicky is more than his boyfriend, saying, "This man is more to me than you can dream"
    Netflix

    "Some people say they found it cringey, but personally, I had to pause the movie for several minutes the first time I saw it because I loved it so much. The act of being a prisoner but taking part of your power back by declaring your undying love for your partner? Give me more of that."

    21. In The Summer I Turned Pretty, when Conrad and Belly sneak away to Cousins Beach and run and laugh in the snow together on the beach.
