The 18 Cutest Kisses in Pop Culture History
Whether you're pro-PDA or silently gag when you see couples making out on the sidewalk, few things will make you melt like a pop culture kiss. Between the suspense of "are they going to...wait, will they...finally!" and the sweeping soundtracks, beautiful sets, and great storylines, it's really easy to get your hopes up for a movie-worthy smooch one day. (It's like Mia Thermopolous said in The Princess Diaries: she wanted the pop!) But even if that moment never happens IRL for you, one thing is for certain: you can still appreciate a good kissing scene. As such, we’re throwing it back and remembering the 17 cutest on-screen kisses of all time.
1/18Allie and Noah in The Notebook
“If you’re a bird, I’m a bird!” This Nicholas Sparks scene has all the components of a perfect kiss: the ocean, young love, and Ryan Gosling.
2/18Peter Parker and Mary-Jane in Spiderman
Okay, who didn't want to try this technique with their ex while hanging upside down over the side of their bed? Definitely harder than it seems on camera.
3/18Callie and Arizona in Grey's Anatomy
The romance between Calliope Torres and Arizona Robbins was groundbreaking in a lot of ways: when their storyline debuted, it was still exceedingly rare to see interracial or same-sex couples on network TV — let alone a pairing that was both. But they made their relationship work, and wound up being one of the most stable couples on the show.
4/18Jim and Pam in The Office
Jim and Pam set the bar extremely high for anyone's relationship goals. Their chemistry was magnetic, and we're not too proud to admit that we cried while watching their first kiss.
5/18Bella and Edward in Twilight
Every vampiric kiss was designed to make our blood boil.
6/18Nick and Jess in New Girl
It took a long time for roomies Nick and Jess to get together, but when they finally did? Sparks flew.
7/18Jack and Rose in Titanic
One of the most iconic kisses in movie history. Jack and Rose taught us to never let go.
8/18Ron and Hermione in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
Although some people still aren't sure the two best friends should have ended up together (cough: J.K. Rowling, we're looking at you), there was definite passion in Ron and Hermione's first kiss...even if Rupert Grint broke all of our hearts when he said that one take was enough.
9/18Shawn and Angela in Boy Meets World
Raise your hand if you're still traumatized by the fact that Shawn and Angela didn't end up together when Boy Meets World ended. Yeah, us too.
10/18Piper and Alex in Orange is the New Black
Being trapped in close quarters with your ex sounds miserable. Trapped in jail with your ex? Forget it. Still, Alex and Piper found a way to keep things interesting.
11/18Taystee and Poussey in Orange is the New Black
Sure, Alex and Piper had their drama, but one of the best things about OITNB is that nearly every character gets a compelling storyline. And if you didn't root for Taystee and Poussey, do you even have a heart? Do you?!
12/18Ross and Rachel in Friends
We never believed that our favorite friends were actually on a break, because every time they were together, they were electric
13/18Mia and Michael in The Princess Diaries
We told you: Mia always wanted a kiss that would make her foot “pop” like in the movies. She got what she wanted, and then some.
14/18Kurt and Blaine in Glee
Kurt suffered a lot during the first few seasons of Glee. So when Blaine entered the scene like Prince Charming on a (well-tuned) horse, viewers were ecstatic to see the two happily paired together.
15/18Blair and Chuck in Gossip Girl
You know you loved them together, hated them together, and eventually loved them together again. Blair and Chuck kept things a little too real on Gossip Girl, and their love for each other was no exception.
16/18Patrick and Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You
“But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.” BRB crying forever.
17/18Satine and Christian in Moulin Rouge
Their love story was tragic but their love affair was legendary.
18/18Romeo and Juliet in Romeo + Juliet
Leo made this list twice. Even if he never wins an Oscar, he’ll always have a place in our hearts. And what better way to end out a kiss list than with the most iconic romance story of all time?
You will never regret choosing kindness. Be nicer to people, including yourself. What’s your go-to karaoke song?
Biz Markie's "Just a Friend." You got what I neeeeeed. What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?
Try as I might, I can't resist ... Read More
