kiss and tell

I was watching Breakfast at Tiffany's today (again, yes) and besides being one of those movies I'll never get tired of watching, it's also got one of the best Hollywood kisses at the end. You know, in the rain, with Cat in the middle. Also, I was wondering all these days who A looks like - and I figured, if you photoshop him a bit (ok a lot), he'll look like George Peppard (Paul - Fred baby - Varjak). But Daaah-ling, never mind. I'm the hysterical kind of happy a person becomes after a disastrous exam and an overdose of uber-romantic films. Also, there's a storm outside - and storms always make me happy.
Here's my list of favourite kisses - and yes, they're all corny and tasteless - like all good Rom Coms should be:
  • Holly Golightly and Fredy Baby (with Cat) in Breakfast at Tiffany's
  • Scarlett and Rhett Butler - Gone with the Wind (the mad one, at the foot of the stairs)
  • Brick and Maggie - Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (that last scene y'know - "shut the door Maggie" - oh shit)
  • Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy (the thong-snow kiss) - Bridget Jones' Diary
  • Jerry Maguire and Dorothy Boyd - Jerry Maguire (That kiss in the porch - where he goes "oops' and accidentally tears the straps of her dress. You know... before Tom Cruise lost it, and had that entire mid-life crisis thing, he had always been a bit of a benchmark for 'hot'. Even before Brad Pitt and other pretty boys happened - there was Mr. Cruise - in all his Cocktail glory)
  • Dr. William and Alice Harford (Tom and Nicole *sigh*) - Eyes Wide Shut (please - Baby did a bad bad thing and all the mirror-making-out didn't mindfuck you?)
  • Ok I forget their names but - Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn - Bird on a Wire ( it's not a particularly memorable film, but there was that one kiss, where he went "shut up" and wham. I'm pathetic, I know. But *sigh*)
  • Richard Gere and Julia Roberts - Pretty Woman (well obviously duh)
  • Hugh Grant (what's a Romcom without him? Although I liked him best in About a Boy) and Julia Roberts - Notting Hill (it was coming you know. Gleep. It's not even funny how many times, how many fucking times, I've seen this hugely predictable movie)
Ok I should stop! But feel free to add your favourites - I don't believe for a minute you don't watch the soppy stuff.
