2012's *The Vow* may be a tearjerker, but it is not without its hopelessly endearing moments. When Paige (Rachel McAdams) lost all memory of the past few years following a serious car accident, husband Leo (Channing Tatum) takes her to the cafe they had their first date in and proposed that they play their version of the Russian Roulette with a box of delectable chocolates to jog her memory.
As Forrest Gump's momma always said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
6. The 'guessing Roux's favourite chocolate' scene in 'Chocolat'.

After trying on a bunch of quirky glasses and hats in a novelty store, Will Hunting (played by a very young Matt Damon) and Skylar (Minnie Driver) shared some giggles and their first kiss (plus a few stray pieces of pickles) with mouths full of burger. That sounds a little gross but hey, how many couples can say they had a first date that ACTUALLY went well?
