Best kisses continued!

Well, after I finished my little compilation of amazing screen kisses, more and more kept flooding back to me. So, here's part two!

Titanic



It's a classic, okay? And, cheesy as some people think it is; I disagree. It's a gorgeous love story. I have a huge girl crush on Kate Winslet and I think she's amazing whatever she does, but this is so her finest hour. And Leo? Everything else he's ever done pales in comparison with this movie. This is probably the greatest and most heartbreaking love story ever commited to celluloid, and this scene emphasises that to the max. The cinematography, the scene, the score... just everything.

Just Like Heaven



I have the biggest crush in the universe on Mark Ruffalo. He is so, so, so, so, cute and every time I watch this I imagine my face on Reese Witherspoon's body. It's such a gorgeous setting for a kiss and the light is amazing as well as that beautiful slow pan around the garden. Aaaaah. Oh, and I totally love that guy at the end. "Righteous!"

Notting Hill



Okay, Hugh Grant is like, my dream guy. I know he's old enough to be my Dad; but that grumpy British thing with the floppy dark hair and those baby blues is irresistable. Damn you, Julia Roberts, for your perfection: but the scene in the garden takes my breath away. "Now what in the world could make that ordeal worthwhile?" .. "Nice garden." This is a classic scene from a classic movie, and even the Ronan Keating doesn't take that away.

Vertigo



Anyone who knows anything about cinema will have heard something about this groundbreaking kiss. Like I said before, Hitchcock was the master of his art in every way, and that definately includes screen kisses. This one has the same sort of surreal feel to it that the Rear Window kiss had, and indeed, James Stewart is also the male half of this kiss; the female half has been replaced by Kim Novak, an astoundingly elegant blonde not unlike Grace Kelly.

Ever After



It's always upset me how underrated this movie is because it truly is beautiful. Dougray Scott - trés, trés hot. I love anything with Drew in it, because she's got this earnest beauty and a real talent for acting. But this scene is so cute: Henry doesn't care about classes anymore, he doesn't care who she is, where she's from, what she did, as long as she loves him. Anything that has me paraphrashing the Backstreet Boys has to be special, no?

Breakfast At Tiffany's



Audrey Hepburn is possibly the most beautiful woman who ever lived. George Peppard is really, really cute in this movie: fact. He's so eloquent, I'd kill for a guy like him. This scene is one of the best moments in cinema: it's raining, Audrey is in it and "Moon River" is playing in the background. It's perfection, to be honest. If I can find a love like Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak (in the movie version, anyway) I'll never want for anything more.

Ghost



I don't even want to think about how much this scene has been taken the piss out of, but to be so well known, it has to be special, right? Demi is gorgeous, Patrick is steamy, and the Righteous brothers are playing in the background of possibly the most tender sex scene in history. There's little else to say, so watch it and see for yourself. Sorry about the shit quality of the video!
