Oh so many!The first time Catherine meets Mr. Tilney
Whenever Catherine is day-dreaming about books
The ending when Catherine kisses Mr. Tilney
Those are good ones... I also like the first time she sees Northanger Abbey... and love the scene in the adaptation when they are out on the horses.

The first meeting and dance is soo funnny! I love how Tilney mocks the social conventions!
I love Catherine's daydreams and her dreams are funny!
The ending is soo very cute!
Mod
The conversatiuon is funny when they are coming to NA for the fiorst time, and Tiolney is teasing her, but Catherine is starting to tease back!
I also love that scene on the horses.
It is very sweet and they are really comfortable in each other's company. ALso in the film, I love the scenes when General Tilney has gone away, meaning Eleanor and Henry are more relaxed and they have a great time with each other at NA.
Mod
I always like it when Catherine is referred to as the heroine. Feels like Jane is speaking to you personally
Mod
I am not sure I have a favourite moment in the book but I have a funny one: when Catherine is working herself in a frenzy about the chest, only to find it was a laundry list. I seriously, LOL.Favourite moment in the 2007 adaption is when Tilney touches her (Catherine) mud cheeks under the porch like thing in the abbey...oh la la la
Ooh yes good adaptation moment with the mud! :)
Mod
Fav..."
that bit is HILARIOUS!
and yes! oh la la la indeed haha
Henry is really being to realise that he actually loves Catherine now... so sweet!
Personally, my favorite parts are every time Henry Tilney opens his mouth... :D He is so intelligent, so amusing, so witty! I remember someone telling me that I would like Tilney, as he has a nice tongue, and now I know what they meant!
Mod
:D Tilney totally mucked up the order of my Austen hero's - I have no idea where to put him! Because he is so different! (And cute...)

'I leave it to be settled, by whomsoever it may concern, whether the tendency of this work be altogether to recommend parental tyranny, or reward filial disobedience.'
This is great because when you think about it you think filial disobedience but then, if General Tilney hadn't interfered in the first place and got Catherine to Northanger Abbey Henry wouldn't have had long to get to know he. He properly fell for her at Northanger not in bath!
That is one of the main differences - usually I fall for the "tortured past guys"... and Tilney didn't have one! But I still liked him! I love that last line too - it is very amusing, but I also think Jane is being rather sarcastic.
Mod
Jane Austen had such wonderful wit and humour and sarcasm!
I LOVE THIS FILM!!! It's not my favorite JA BBC but I do love it! I am a lot like Catherine...sort of. ;) lol But Tilney is my fav thing about this book/movie!!! he is my fav JA hero! I love the scene where they meet/dance with the whole "Smirk" thing. I love the whole ending (from when he's at the house with the mom to after the proposal). Tilney and Catherine are the cutest JA couple I just absolutely love them. :)) JJ Field was the perfect pick for this role and Felicity Jones was SUCH a sweet CM!!!! loved her. I loved how they started with a sweet brother/sister relationship and were able to be just friends (even though we all knew it would become something ;)) - just goes to show we CAN be just friends without just thinking about marriage. ANYwho! yes- so sweet and lovely! need to watch again soon. :)
Mod
In the book Catherine is my favourite, in the 2007 film Tilney is my favourite.
That's probably the same with me too, actually - but there isn't much difference between them in either. :)
(my opinions will follow :) )
