That kiss changed me. I’m not particularly proud to admit that, while I have always fully championed gay rights, I had always been somewhat repulsed and freaked out seeing two guys kissing . It just didn’t look right to me. Yet Jack and Ennis’ kiss after reuniting was so passionate, so joyful, so real that I didn’t feel anything but passion and joy right along with them.
The Thomas Crown Affair, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. I can honestly say that Steve McQueen made me a great kisser. If you need a refresher course, go rent this movie. Oh, baby. Oh. Yes.
Laura Harring and Naomi Watts in Mulholland Drive. The whole scene aside, just the kissing was phenomenal!
Oh man…I love this movie.
I always though the kiss between Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed in “It’s A Wonderful Life” (when they’re on the phone with Sam “Hee Haw” Wainwright") was the PERFECT combination of innocence and flaming passion. My favorite movie kiss.

I was thinking- the kiss in NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE…
YOU KNOW WHICH KISS!
Not to break the mood, but I can’t help but visualize the scene in one of Steve Martin’s movies (can’t even remember which) where he starts licking his date’s face. They’re at a table in a restaurant, I think. Was it Bernadette Peters maybe? Rachel Ward?
For me that was the biggest send-up of the exaggerated tongue action kisses had become all about. Wish I could remember which movie.
What I love about as much is where boy meets girl, their eyes meet, they start undressing and poking out each other’s tonsils.
I just saw The Eagle Has Landed again after many years. I had remembered it as a decent movie. But the rapid-fire romance of Donald Sutherland’s character and whoever the girl was was on past ridiculous. They meet in one scene, bump into each other on the beach a little later (they may have kissed, they may not have, the scene is not all that memorable), and a short time later she’s ready to die for him. Talk about compressed time. More like the acceptance of the cliche’ that if their names are in the credits they will fall in love or at least have passionate sex within moments of meeting.
Oooh, what about Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Ewan McGregor in Velvet Goldmine? “The world has changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.”
When I was a senior in high school, my English teacher didn’t feel like teaching one day so she brought in First Knight. Guinievere said, “I owe you a kiss. I’m asking you.” Lancelot walks across the room and kissed her with a passion that made every girl in the room scream. After the movie was over, they begged to watch that scene again.
That’s the kiss that gets my vote.
Chistoper Reeves and Micheal Caine in Deathtrap. Right afthe he killed his wife. My black heart rejoiced.
Dylan McDermott and Holly Hunter in “Home for the Holidays,” when they’re standing outside her sister’s house, on the steps. My friend and I backed that one up and watched it over again about six times. We stopped because her dad caught us and hooted at us until we moved on.
The one you’re all talking about from “It’s a Wonderful Life” is pretty spectacular, too.
What? Nobody’s mentioned the kiss on the beach in From Here to Eternity?
I thought that one was supposed to be the industry standard.
Absolon and the carpenter’s wife, in the Miller’s Tale, The Canterbury Tales.
Nah, if you wanted to break the mood, you’d post this one.
Oh, and another one: From The Little Mermaid, the kiss at the end is of course pretty good, but it doesn’t compare to the one which almost happened at the end of “Kiss the Girl”. The buildup for that one was just perfect.
Wasn’t that in #1? She tried to re-create it with John Jameson in the sequel and it just wasn’t anywhere near as good.
Andrew “Dice” Clay and Lauren Holly in The Adventures of Ford Fairlane
See, I look at that, and all I can think is, “I bet she’s getting sand up her buttcrack with every wave.”
Sometimes it sucks being this cynical.
One of my favorite screen kisses is from a movie nobody but me likes, Reality Bites . (What can I say, I was the perfect age for it and in love with Ethan Hawke and I wanted to grow up to be Winona Ryder and Ben Stiller is actually not irritating in it - not to mention Renee Zellweger (before her face got all weird) in a blink-and-you-miss it role with no dialog.) Anyway, when Troy and Lelaina finally “do it and get it over with”, I was aching to be in that kiss. “You realize this is going to change everything?” he says, and my silly romantic girly bits go “SQUEEEE!”
Yes, I realize the movie hasn’t aged well. Go away and leave me to my nostalgia.
