These works have their own pages:

BBC's Robin Hood

  • Marian's father is killed and Guy chooses a very bad time to make a move on her, so she runs distraught and heartbroken into her bedroom... where Robin is already waiting for her.
  • When Much says of Djaq: "Djaq may be a girl, but she's one of the lads."
  • Allan's and Will's handshake just before Prince John's army attacks Nottingham in "Walkabout."
  • Many found Will's and Djaq's declarations of love in the Barn Scene of Ick to be impossibly cheesy - but just hit the mute button and let the actors' faces do the talking. The way they light up in ecstasy when they realize that they love each other is just gorgeous.
  • John (of York) and Beatrice's forest wedding. D'aww.
  • When Djaq tells Allan, "I believe you're a good man," after he clumsily tries to confess to her about the fact that he's been selling outlaw secrets to Guy. Also something of a Tear Jerker considering it's the last time they ever interact on-screen and the end of their quasi-romantic friendship.
  • Robin's and Marian's Together in Death scene at the end of season 3. After what is initially a fairly formal reunion in which they reiterate their love for one another, Robin suddenly grabs Marian around the waist and swings her around in a circle, with all the playfulness and joy that's always been the hallmark of their relationship. The last thing we hear is Marian's happy Laugh of Love echoing up through the trees.
  • John's been rescued, and Robin gives him back his tags - well, one of them. Where's the other? His son knows: "I shall never forget! My father is a comrade of Robin Hood!"
  • Guy and Meg. Even though their time together is very short, it's still very sweet.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights

  • The song "Marian" may be a parody, but it's still a very adorable song, especially with the soft rock cover version that plays during the end credits.
  • Rabbi Tuck's introduction. He tells the merry men that his wine is only for blessing things. After seeing their disappointment, he says, "Wait! There's things here. Trees, rocks, birds. Come, let us bless them all!"

Robin Hood (2010)

  • Heartwarming Moments:
    Robin: I love you, Marion.
  • When Marion surrenders to her grief and rests against Robin's shoulder as his hand comes up to stroke her hair. Quite possibly the most intimate scene in the whole movie — even more so than their goodbye kiss or kiss in the surf.
  • The fact that Russell Crowe talked Alan Doyle into auditioning for the role of Allan a Dale because he wanted to do a movie with his friend and thought this was a perfect match definitely qualifies.
  • When Marion is rescued from the mud in which she accidentally got herself stuck in her attempt to rescue a ram that was stuck in it by Robin who first rescues ram then her, Marion thanks him for rescuing her from the mud, only for her to be later insulted by Sheriff of Nottingham who arrives right after she is rescued. Robin then stands up for her by telling Sheriff that his insolence toward her will be considered a debt between them before he and Marion leave, with Marion giving a "take that" satisfying smirk at Sheriff of Nottingham, also doubles as a moment of awesome.
  • Scott Grimes was filming in England for the first time since Band of Brothers. Through pure coincidence Richard Speight Jr. was also in the area, as was Tim Matthews (who already lived there). The three of them had played True Companions in the series and hadn't seen each other since, but they all had a mini-reunion.

Others

  • The Phantom story "The Forest of Terror" turns out to be one of these. Set in 1635, and starring the 4th Phantom, it revolves around a demonic warlock known as The Saracen who is plaguing Sherwood. Over the course of the story, we find out that the Saracen had been defeated once before - by Robin Hood himself. Throughout the story, we're given glimpses of Robin's time, including his marriage to Marian after the defeat of the Saracen, which is officiated by Friar Tuck (one of the other characters in the story is revealed to be their direct descendant). When the Phantom finally confronts the Saracen in the ruins of Nottingham Castle, he is assisted by the spirits of Robin and his merry men, though the Phantom himself can't quite bring himself to believe what he's seeing. Badly injured in the fight, the Phantom passes out, only to find himself in an ethereal, paradise-like Sherwood, tended by the ageless spirits of Robin and the others. While these visions disappear when he wakes up, he finds himself mysteriously unhurt, and discovers an arrow lying by his side...
    21st Phantom: Though he could never prove it, my ancestor believed that the arrow had once belonged to Robin Hood.
