THE KISS: 9 Hot Kisses & How to Use Them

Product Information

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams may have disliked each other during filming, but that just proves they're talented actors. By modern standards, the love scene in From Here to Eternityis tamer than tame. By 1953 standards, though, the beachside passion of Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster is hot, hot, hot (and romantic, to boot). It took four movies, but Bella and Edward finally tied the knot and consummated their relationship in a night of sweet-turned-intense honeymoon sex. As adults, most of us know that things that look like fantastic, romantic ideas on the big screen are kind of a disaster in real life. No matter how wise you are in the ways of romance, however, the kissing-in-the-rain scene from The Notebookwill make you lust for a thunderstorm and a Gosling of your very own.

This pair's first kiss is already special, but the golden sunshine streaming through the trees behind them elevates it to an even more beautiful shot. Yorkshire farmer Josh O'Connor and Romanian migrant Alec Secareanu get naked, have rough and passionate sex in the dirt, then fall in love during lambing season. Love & Basketballtells a decades-spanning love story and the scene when the movie's leads, Monica (Sanaa Lathan) and Quincy (Omar Epps), make love for the first time is romantic, real, and iconic. The love scenes between Adèle and Emma in Blue Is the Warmest Colourexude love and romance (and sexiness. Also lots of sexiness).

Baby and Johnny's love story is one of the great movie romances of our (or any other) time, and their love scene is as sensual as we ever could have hoped for. Ledger passed away from an accidental overdose three years after the film was released, but his impact on his costar never faded. "I miss him as a human being, and I miss working with him. And what an unfortunate thing it is that we won’t be able to see the beauty of his expression," the Southpaw star explained on Fresh Air. "He was incredibly special, and that doesn’t even come close to encapsulating who he is — who he was." In Love & Other Drugs, Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal deliver perfect performances as a couple whose no strings attached situationship evolves into something much deeper.

How could we make a sexiest movie kisses article and not include this super romantic moment in cinematic history?! A woman (Issa Rae) falls in love with the journalist investigating her mother’s storied photography career, and despite her own estrangement with her mom, she rediscovers their relationship while creating a totally different one. This film is as romantic as it is super steamy. James Bond has always been known as a ladies' man and a sex symbol and the shower love scene between Daniel Craig's take on the iconic super spy and Sévérine in Skyfallshows how 007 keeps earning his rep, over and over. Sometimes (most times), playing 7 Minutes in Heaven is way more awkward than it is heavenly, but for Paige and AJ in this Hulu movie, it's clearly a kiss that dreams are made of.

There are several great kisses in the TATBIL franchise, but the hot tub scene gets top billing in our book. Who wouldn't want to make out with Peter Kavinsky?! Emily and Alison had been hooking up for awhile, but just under the pretense of "practicing." Finally, Ali says the previous makeouts "weren't just for practice," and the two share a real kiss.

While fans of The Notebook might have Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams pegged for the most romantic kiss in movie history, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper gave them a run for their money in the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born. The chemistry between the "Shallow" singers was so strong that they had viewers convinced a relationship was brewing in real life too.Everything about Before Sunriseis romantic in that early-20s kind of way, but the love scene in the park epitomizes the romance (and romanticization) of the characters' brief encounter.
