You have to go back to the 1960s, but I can't remember any specific films.

I believe it was first used in a French film, Un homme et une femme.

A running-toward-each-other scene I always think of is Ashley and Melanie when he returns from the war. There are many others, but a scene like the one in "Gone with the Wind" likely developed into the cliché seen in serious films and in parodies.
