1) Before Sunrise (1995)

Before Sunrise by Richard Linklater is the first in a trilogy chronicling the magic of a brief exchange. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) meet each other on a train in Europe. They spend one magical night in conversation. The charm of the film rests in the deep philosophical discussions it has concerning love, life, and fate. The connection they spark in that one night, encapsulates all the giddy excitement and innocence of a new and burgeoning love affair, leaving viewers to wonder whether such love can be defined by one single moment or whether it has to develop over time.
