What about you, HG? (since you started the thread)
On my first date with my first girlfriend, I took her to see A Man And A Woman. She liked the love scenes. I liked the auto racing scenes. We went out for a few months after that. I never really got over her.
Three years later, just like in the Claude Lelouch film I posted, I drove about 15 miles to pick her up at her boyfriend's house. She called me hysterically crying. I didn't go through any red lights, though. That scene ended just like in the film, with a long embrace.
A week later, she was back with him.
A Man And A Woman was also a film by Claude Lelouch.
