Perhaps when Faramir sees the ring he has a kind of "what would Boromir do?" moment, and decides that he will do what Boromir would have done and take the ring to Gondor.
Can you think of any other times in the films, where we see Faramir trying to act like Boromir, or doing things Boromir probably would have done?

Boromir does try to convince Frodo to take the Ring to Minas Tirith in the books. A just solution, I would say! However, although I see what you're saying, PJ's Boromir and PJ's Faramir are both different from book Boromir and Faramir. Even if you're comparing movie Boromir to movie Faramir I would say the resemblance is slim, because of Faramir's huge, huge, huge skewing from book to film.
