With the freezing cold weather I have been stuck inside watching a lot of BBC and sipping tea. (= Not a bad way to while away the winter.
Many of these BBC films are based on classic literature that I love, so it has been a wonderful revisit to the stories, times and characters that I enjoy. Classy romance all the way. When restraint and respect not only built the tension between the characters, but allowed relationships to blossom in a beautiful way.
SPOILER alert...I recently watched North and South. At the happy ending Richard Armitage gives one of the best screen kisses of all time. A kiss isn't just a kiss. It has to carry more emotion than just desire-- and this kiss says it all. After a long and rocky road he finally gets the girl.
Sigh!!!
What are some of your all time favorite screen smooches? Share!

I'm going to go with the classics on best kissing moments...Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Moulin Rouge. The list goes on and on.
During the Paris interlude scene - a flashback - at La Belle Aurore, Sam (Dooley Wilson) played As Time Goes By ("a kiss is just a kiss")
as Rick (Humphrey Bogart) poured a glass of champagne for lover Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) and then offered his familiar toast: "Here's looking at you, kid";
as they embraced and kissed at the open window, artillery fire was heard off in the distance as the Germans approached, and Ilsa was startled and looked toward the street:
"Was that cannon fire or is it my heart pounding?";
she was emotionally overwhelmed and expressed her love for him in the midst of the "crazy world": "I love you so much. And I hate this war so much. Oh, it's a crazy world. Anything can happen. If you shouldn't get away, I mean, if something should keep us apart, wherever they put you and wherever I'll be, I want you to know that..."; an emotionally-intoxicated Ilsa initiated a kiss, moving up to meet Rick's lips as they sat together - she abandoned herself to him in a kiss - specially requested: "Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time" - and ironically, it was!
I loved the scene in The Notebook, but it was more passion.
I also loved the kiss in Top Gun. HOT.
