Big Kisses on the Big Screen

Here you will find some of the best movie kisses of all time. I will not be presumptuous enough to put them into some ranked system, because it is far to subjective - the movies are too different, and the kisses are too different. They cannot be properly be compared. The movie kisses included are what I believe are "of the best".

This is a list which is obviously always growing. If you think of one I have forgotten (or would like to dispute one I have included) visit the guestbook at the bottom of the page.

Ghost 

(1990)

This kiss was actually not effective for me. I have put it on the list by popular demand. I actually laughed through this scene, but to each his own.

Ghost

The Princess Bride 

(1987)

Is this a kissing book?
Well apparently it is!

The Princess Bride

Lady and the Tramp 

(1955)

Often imitated, never duplicated.

What makes it great? 

What is it about the kiss?

What is it that makes a kiss in a movie great? Is it the actual kiss or the characters that do the kissing?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

It's the kiss.

says:

I think it would be the actual kiss, especially if it's very passionate. It shows true emotion.

Mizzike says:

It's hard to say, but I have to go with the kiss! At times, it can be that you want to people to kiss really badly... but if the kiss was less than par, it makes the characters worthless! If you played a reel of kissing scenes, it's easy to tell which ones are good and which are bad just by seeing the kiss itself... without even knowing the characters!

Beth says:

True, the characters are important, but if their kiss isn't up to scratch it's a complete let down! You would still know a good kiss when you saw one even if you didn't know the characters. I think the atmosphere is really important, a good example is The Notebook, the kiss scene in the rain! That would have to be my number one. :)

zanzona says:

its a good idea about kissing!

ME says:

THE SLOB = THE SHOWING OF TONGUE - THE TIGHT HOLD - THE BREATHING OR PANTING

It's the characters.

HorseAndPony says:

The characters. There are just some people that you would not want to see kissing.

girlie says:

I'd say it would be scene around the kiss.

says:

The characters :)

luckylou1111 says:

We all know we wanted Kevin Costner to to kiss Whitney, "The Bodyguard." This time it was about the characters.

Movie Kiss Montages 

Video Montages of Amazing Kisses on Film

The Goonies 

(1985)

Hmmm. Another underdog kissing his brother's girl. I love it! This kiss was great. Again, awkward and unexpected. With the sense of emanating danger, the spooky setting, and an absolutely lovable little nerd. How can you not be pleased to watch this first kiss?

The Goonies

Spider-Man 

(2002)

The ultimate solution to the question "where do the noses go?"

And, the rain! A kiss in the rain always gets bonus points. Passion supersedes having sense enough to come in out of the rain.

Spider-Man

Breakfast at Tiffany's 

(1961)

Gone With The Wind 

(1941)

The definition of a classic.

Gone with the Wind

The Longest Kiss

The longest kiss in films history was between Jane Wyman and Regis Tommey in the 1941 film, You're in the Army Now. The kiss lasted 3 minutes and 5 seconds, or 1/25th of the total running time.

Some Kind of Wonderful 

(1987)

The old "let me teach you" trick, eh?
He does not need any lessons.
And, if you couldn't figure out the end of the movie by this kiss alone then you're in need of some real relationship therapy.

Some Kind of Wonderful

The Wedding Singer 

(1998)

Hmm. Apparently, practice kisses were big in the eighties.

The Wedding Singer

Casablanca 

(1943)

Timeless.

A Mighty Wind 

(2003)

Any kiss by Eugene Levy is memorable.
(I just creeped myself out.)
Well, it is memorable.

A Mighty Wind

Mr. and Mrs. Smith 

(2005)

By far, the best film kiss that ends with a punch in the face.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Titanic 

(1997)

Okay, be honest...you we're hoping the wind knocked them down, too, right?

Titanic (10th Anniversary Edition)

The Notebook 

(2005)

Okay, Okay. By popular demand...The Notebook.

Another kiss in the rain. We've already learned that rain helps a kiss. Oh, and this one has him lifting her - that's another biggie. When a man is lifting a woman in a field, it's love!

Where It All Started 

The First Kiss on Film

Shrek 

(2001)

Hands down, the best ogre-on-ogre kiss on film.

Shrek (Full Screen Single Disc Edition)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 

(2006)

Personally, I saw too much bacteria on the screen for this kiss to work for me, but to each his own.

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

Daredevil 

Daredevil and Electra, without their spandex, kiss in the rain where he can "see" her. Again, the rain factor helps.

The first kiss for both of them, and he turned back into a ghost midway through! A beautiful kiss, that is actually appropriate for a 12 year old.

Casper

From Here to Eternity 

(1953)

"I never knew it could be like this. Nobody ever kissed me the way you do"

In those Hawaiian waves, this is the kiss that every 16 year old girl is just dying for (and will be for quite some time).

From Here to Eternity

On Golden Pond 

(1981)

The love we all dream of having until we are old.

On Golden Pond
