Kissing, a Cinematic Affair

“When [he] kisses you he isn't doing anything else. You're his whole universe..and the moment is eternal because he doesn't have any plans and isn't going anywhere. Just kissing you...it's overwhelming.”

A kiss may be transitory but it leaves an everlasting imprint that fades only with our humanity and time (or one too many shots of tequila). Kisses become words when there are none that can be found in a book to express anything, everything and nothing at all. When we desire to live intensely and to know love in all it's shapes and colors but find it impossible to come by we turn to film, the art of imagination where fiction meets reality. Every frame, if captured correctly, allows the spectator to become part of something bigger than the frontières of the human body. The essence of our emotions rides freely between character and being. The one's that let us share a moment and relive it time and again are memorable. That said, the best movie kisses of our time according to moi are enumerated as follows:

1. The Notebook
2. Spiderman (upside-down)
3. Pearl Habour (Danny and Evelyn)
4. Cinema Paradiso
5. From Here to Eternity
6. Cocktail
7. Gone with the Wind
8. Duel in the sun
9. PS I love you
1o. Now, Voyager
11. Kiss (Andy Warhol, 1963)
12. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
13. Titanic
14. Frida
15. Moulin Rouge

A girl can dream...
