Before Sunrise (1995)
This is an okay movie. An American (Ethan Hawke) is traveling through Europe and meets a pretty French woman (Julie Delpy) on a train. After an introductory conversation, he convinces her to explore Vienna, Austria with him for a day. They visit a music store, a church, a couple of bars, and other attractions while walking through the city. They start to fall for each other, but are unsure about what the future will bring. Deciding not to correspond by mail, they promise to meet again at the same train station in six months.
The actors did well at showing the awkwardness of a first date and also the excitement of feeling a connection to the other person. Hawke and Delpy reprised their roles for a scene in the 2001 animated film Waking Life. There is a 2004 sequel called Before Sunset. In 1989 director Richard Linklater met a woman at a toy shop in Philadelphia and they walked around the town for several hours.
