What, for you, is the most effective heterosexual love scene in film?
I'm not necessarily talking about a sexual scene, although you can include them.
For me it is Kyle MacLaughlin and Laura Dern dancing in "Blue Velvet". An absolutely mesmerizing whirl of emotion, with them both cracking up about how happy they are. When Dern finally says "I love you, Jeffrey", I didn't know which one of them I'd want to be.
I think Bogart and Hepburn at the end of "The African Queen" is a close number two, when they are overjoyed to be married even as execution is the honeymoon.

Not sure if it's the most effective love scene but I've always found the first and almost violent kissing scene of Deckard and Rachael in Blade Runner extremely powerful. There are so many layers to the whole thing that it's way beyond a normal love scene. And obviously Harrison Ford was such a fox back then.

R2, totally agree. Equally obviously, Sean Young was hypnotically beautiful as well. The score to that scene also was amazing.

No actual sex, but the telephone scene in It’s a Wonderful Life between Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed.

I've always liked Jon Voight and Brenda Vaccaro's love scene in Midnight Cowboy.

The ending scene of 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being' when Tomas and Tereza are driving in the rain, and Tomas tells Tereza how happy he is (Daniel Day-Lewis and Juliette Binoche). After the movie, I showed up on my boyfriend's doorstep and begged him to take me back.

#7 - “Picnic” is one of my all time favorite movies! .Kim N and William Holden have such a shy/hot yearning. LOoove that arrangement of Moonglow! .... Two movie couples that had great love scenes - Natalie Wood and Warren Beatty In “Splendor In the Grass” ...... Vanessa Redgrave and beautiful Franco Nero in “Camelot.”
