Can you guess them?
Thinking back at all the romantic kisses in movies, which ones stand out to you? Upside-down Spider Man kiss? The kiss in the rain from The Notebook? Or how the final scene from Never Been Kissed? There are so many to choose from.
A new list has been compiled which has established the top 50 movie kisses. It found that Jack and Rose’s kiss on the front deck of the Titanic is the best movie kiss of all-time.
It fought off competition from The Lady and the Tramp’s meatball scene and the kiss between Sam and Molly in Ghost.
The research was conducted with over 2000 people as part of the launch of TLC’s new show, Love At First Kiss, which starts on Wednesdays at 9pm from January 11th.
A spokesman for TLC said:
“Kisses are such a big part of movies so it’s fascinating to see which ones have had the biggest impact. For many people, their first experience of a ‘proper’ kiss is likely to have been seeing one on screen.
So perhaps respondents had a sense of nostalgia when it came to voting for their favourites.”
So, here are the top 50 movie kisses:
