Chained (1946)
The censorship of the studies stipulated that the kisses could not last more than three seconds. But, Alfred Hitchcock cleverly circumvented this rule by making Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman stop every three seconds and then kiss again.
From Here to Eternity (1953)
Few times has the outburst of unleashed passion been symbolized as well as in this scene with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr kissing on the beach, at the mercy of the waves. What they could not imagine is that Japanese aviation was about to give them a historic scare.
Duel in the Sun (1946)
Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones love and hate each other equally in this movie. At the end of it, they settle their accounts with shots and wound each other to death. But, in full agony, they abandon themselves to their forbidden passion and drag themselves to die embraced and fused in the most spectacular final kiss ever filmed.
Officer and Gentleman (1982)
Richard Gere in his naval officer's uniform was really irresistible. He was the ideal man for any spectator. And Debra Winger, with those jeans and that proletarian air, she was also impressive. No one will ever forget how Gere walks into the factory, picks her up, and kisses her in front of everyone. filmmaker? Definitely. But so pretty.
The Godfather 2 (1974)
Not all kisses are a declaration of romantic love. And, as an example, there are the boys in the mafia who, when they kiss you, do not do it with the best intention. In this film, Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) seals the fate of his disloyal brother Fredo (John Cazale) with a kiss on his mouth.
Breakfast at Tiffin's (1964)
Kisses in the Rain have always had a plus of romanticism, like this one that Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard share while looking for a cat in a dark alley.
They were lucky. In other movies, when you look for a cat you find Alien.
The Quiet Man (1952)
Kissing a redhead is quite a feat. Their character is legendary. And more if she is a redhead it is Maureen O'Hara. But of course, John Wayne was very much John Wayne. Another kiss in the rain, in this case, full of sensuality. And that also served as inspiration for Spielberg for the scene that we already discussed E. T.
How beautiful it is to Live (1946)
One of my favorites. The shy James Stewart, and the no less shy Donna Reed, by chance, share a telephone receiver. The proximity of their faces means that in the end, they end up giving free rein to their feelings and kissing.
