* ''Film/{{Casper}}'': The title ghost is turned human for a few hours so he can attend Cat's Halloween party. As they dance together they start to rise off the floor, but Cat is so busy staring into his eyes that she doesn't immediately notice.



* In ''Film/{{Grease}}'', the ending has Sandy and Danny getting back together and their car flying off into the sky.



* In ''Film/SimplyIrresistible'', the characters played by Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Patrick Flannery begin to float uncontrollably while in a passionate embrace. As this was a romantic comedy, it was PlayedForLaughs, however, as Sean bumps his head on the ceiling, alerting the two to their floating state.

* On ''Series/LoisAndClark'', Lois and Superman floated several times together. Once while making love, and at least twice while in a vertical embrace. In fact, a famous scene of Lois and Clark kissing while wrapped in Clark's cape and floating in front of a large full moon became part of the credits sequence.
** This imagery starts in the pilot, where it's a little more prurient: When Lois dramatically appears on the stairs at Lex's ball and confronts him in front of the entire assembly ("Lex Luthor! Why aren't you returning my calls?" [''thunderclap'']), Clark, standing the crowd behind Jimmy, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything rises a few feet off the ground]] before settling back down again, in all senses of the expression. The DVD commentary implies it means exactly what you think it means.

* In the ''Manga/BloomIntoYou Anthology'' story, "Free Floating Maidens", Toukjo finds Yuu reading a romance manga, and floating a few inches above the ground, apparently while Yuu is reading a particularly romantic moment. Touko points this out, and Yuu, oblivious, comes back to earth. When Yuu goes back to reading, she floats even higher, while still oblivious. After she lands this time, Touko joins her and they both float near the ceiling just as Sayaka walks in. She has the same shocked face Touko had at the start, and the narrative box notes that later, she floats too.

A man and a woman are shown in an embrace, they are both smiling, happy and content. As the camera backs away, we see that their feet are a few inches above the ground, but they are both so enraptured, they don't even notice their sudden lack of gravity. This is what is known as a Lovitation ([[DontExplainTheJoke a portmanteau of love and levitation]]). This is usually shown in fantasies, science fiction stories and occasionally romantic comedies to show that there is an overall magical quality to ThePowerOfLove. [[Music/CelineDion No not that one]]. [[Film/BackToTheFuture Or that one]].
