I was 15 when this movie came out and this scene made me believe in love at first sight. The scene. The song. The story. I was completely obsessed with this movie, largely because of this song. So loving and heartbreaking at the same time.

But Des’ree and the vocal control and depth… 😭😭😭😭😭

[dazwahmogwai]

This for me is one of those moments of cinematic perfection when they spy each other through the fish tank with such an amazing vocal in the background. Then contrast with the total WTF moment when you realise Paul Rudd is thrown in with a serious if brief role 🤣

Man, I'm so jealous of Leo. "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it sight. For I never saw true beauty till this night". He speaks it so perfectly and emotionally. Very talented actor.

Leo at this age was just absolute beautiful perfection. He still gives me butterflies now and I'm 35 😍

[janellebreeckner]

Dear LORD can Leonardo DiCaprio speak volumes with those beautiful eyes of his...

One of the most beautiful songs I ever heard

Hard to believe this level of artistic talent came from Hollywood, but it did.

Oh to be this young again. Kissing. Close eyes. The world goes silent. The floor disappears. Names are for later.

[MsWillita]

Why is this song so beautiful and sad at the same time❤😔🤷🏾‍♀️

[annanegrini]

C'est tellement beau, et Clare Danes joue tellement bien, ça me redonne le sourire

[zhanehenderson]

I love this scene because without words they acted out love at first and that’s some amazing acting to portray that. And Des’ree did an amazing singing this

[marchandtpinkney]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

[brownsugar]

I forgot John Leguizamo was in this too. He's such an underrated actor. But anywho...Des'ree is amazing. Love this movie.

I must admit I cried 😭 when I first saw this part of the movie in 1996. I was 15 and still shed a tear 😢 till this day. Just beautiful. 😊

Today, out of the blue, the song 'Kissing You' from Romeo and Juliet came to mind, so I searched for it and I'm currently listening to it. It's really good

I was 8 years old when my 18yo sister got this soundtrack for Christmas in 1996, and I stole it and listened to it on repeat on my discman for our entire Christmas vacation at the grandparents' house. I could not be separated from it.

I was married with 3 little kids, watching this 3 times a day. In between Titanic and Basketball Diaries. 20 years later and he is just as beautiful as I remember. 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

One of the most beautiful and powerful love songs ever sung or written. This movie…Jesus, I hate that we know how it ends, but I still have hope it will magically end differently. This song moved me to tears, and I don’t even like slow songs all that much.

[davidcubillas]

Man I was like 13 when this movie came out and I still remember it like it was yesterday when I saw it man they don't make movies like this anymore man I miss those days
