Best example of Jake and Heath's great chemistry

[ednbarby]

Heath and Jake definitely have amazing chemistry.  I think this is one of the things that makes the movie work so well.  I also sort of wonder if even they were/ are surprised by how much natural chemistry they seem to have with one another. 

I think all the examples in the poll are good ones. I voted for the "most I've spoke" scene, because it's so subtle and there's soooooo much going on between the two of them that can only be comprehended through "vibes,"  "looks,"  and sort of undefinable things (i.e. chemistry).

But, I think hands down the best example is the reunion kiss.  One of the best and most palpable screen kisses every.

Totally agree.  And the reunion kiss *still* gives me the sensation.  After all this time (and all these viewings).  It's the hands.  And the nuzzling.  And the ferocity with which Ennis knocks Jack's hat off.  Meowwwwr.

I don't think any other single moment was so pure and relaxed, except for the Dozy Embrace, probably my most favorite moment, but so much sadder in a way.

Mmmmmm.  My second-favorite scene in the film.  And second only because it is so sad.

It sounds like you spend more time fainting than watching the movie, Melissa!

"Friend, that's more words then you've spoke in the past 2 weeks."

That's when they bonded, that's when Jack fell in love, right in that instant.

It MELTS me.

Could be... could be....

Hard to pick a favourite (I love 'em all), but if pressed, I am particularly fond of the scene where they're both smashed and Jack sings Water Walkin' Jesus (so badly, it makes distant coyotes yip). Because Ennis loves Jack so much and doesn't want to hurt his feelings, he applauds his efforts(by tapping his stick) and tells him his singing is "Very good." I love that scene. Sigh.

I've read all previous posts and with everyone I think: that's it, that is THE scene. Then I read the next suggestion and think the same   

They're all so good and they make me melt *sigh*

I guess I'll vote for "you'll run them sheep off again". That smile.... *sighs again*

And what about when Ennis introduces Jack to Alma? He looks as if to say "Ain't he a catch?"

Just bumping because this was a nice topic.  Especially in light of recent tragic events.
