At what moment in BBM did you realize that they were falling in love?
Flashframe777:
When Ennis says his dad thought all rodeo riders were "f*ck ups", then gives Jack sly googly eyes.
Front-Ranger:
Call me a hopeless romantic, but I've experienced love at first sight and so that's my answer.

I think for Jack it was definately love at first sight. But for Ennis, I think it wasn't until they were leaving, that he realized he love him....sigh.

Here's a new one, and I realize it's post-consummation but it's where I really started to see their love relationship solidify:
For me, it's after they were done untangling them Chilean sheep outta theirs, when they were riding off and Ennis tells Jack he'll run them sheep off again if he didn't quiet down.
The way Ennis grins at Jack when he delivers this line is so freaking cute, and Jack barely acknowledges it, he just keeps playing his harmonica. And they ride on. They're like an old married couple in love with each other they hardly have to speak any words, and don't even have to touch, to show affection.

I think Ennis *started* to fall in the "that's the most I've spoke in a year" scene, too. That wasn't in the short story, though. There I'd say it was when, as someone else said, he was riding back to the sheep after talking and drinking for hours with Jack and thought he'd never had such a good time - felt he could paw the white out of the moon (I love that line, too).
I think it started for Jack the moment he first laid eyes on Ennis. I love how when they're in Aguirre's office, Jack steals a *very* long look at Ennis while Aguirre is talking to him. Of course he steals a couple of other long looks outside - most notably in the side-view mirror (LOVE that one). Some might say that's just attraction, but I think you can know you're supposed to be with someone just by looking at them.
