Movies are like a little fantasy escape from our realities, and when we see those swoon-worthy love stories on the big screen, it gives us hope that one day we’ll find that kind of passion in our own lives. Not all celebs have chemistry, but when they do, it’s impossible to tear your eyes away. Here are the top rewatched movie kisses that’ll put you in the mood.
1. Noah Calhoun and Allison “Allie” Hamilton, “The Notebook”
If you made it through this movie without crying, good for you — most of us can’t say the same. This instant classic is like a modern-day Romeo and Juliette because of the amount of tragedy infused in the romance. This couple falls in love as teens, but as they grow older, Noah cares for Allie when she gets dementia. The whole film is filled with passion, but nothing beats that gorgeous kiss in the rain where they both get soaking wet.
2. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, “Pride and Prejudice”
One of the greatest love stories of all time, Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” is a literature classic for a reason, and its on-screen adaptation didn’t disappoint. While many are familiar with the scene where Mr. Darcy finally admits he fell for Elizabeth, it’s that kiss at the end that makes our knees buckle — especially when he calls her “Mrs. Darcy” right before he does it.
3. Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, “Brokeback Mountain”
This movie was as tragic as it was romantic — it also made history at the time of its release. “Brokeback Mountain” told the tale of two men in the 1960s living in rural Wyoming. Their relationship isn’t condoned at the time, and as a result, the men are separated. When they’re reunited, they embrace each other with an aggressive passion, but sadly, this film doesn’t have a happy ending.
4. Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, “Spider-Man”
No one could forget the kiss from this flick — while some movie kisses are remembered for their romantic context and passion, it was the unique nature of this kiss scene that’s kept it on our radar for two decades. Mary Jane pulls down Peter Parker’s mask to kiss him without revealing his identity. Oh, and it all happens when he’s hanging upside down.
