Before Sunrise (1995)

A young American named Jesse (Ethan Hawke) meets Celine (Julie Delpy) on a train in Europe. They pass the day together in Vienna and spend an entire night talking and getting to know each other. Jesse has to catch a flight back to the U.S. the next day, while Celine plans to take the next train back to Paris when he leaves.

Could a similar romance spark up in the parking lot of a failing mall or in freeway traffic? Maybe. But would it be as magical as this? Hell no.
