PortmanteauLists - Top five (mainly) TV kisses of the last two decades

Following my imminent and continuous self-imposed re-training of a cynic in intensive therapy, I've taken to insisting on girly talk with girl and boy friends and watching what-I-now-no-longer-call-soppy-but-merely-romantic films and series. In the spirit of this session I've put together my favourite kisses which didn't make me gag but genuinely aww and/or find very hot (am I allowed to say that or does this violate the "girly" rules?)

Post me your top five in the comments, I'm curious to see what everyone else came up with - and listen to Silly Love Songs (Yes, the Glee version for obvious reasons) while you look at the gifs. Enjoy!



1. Kurt and Blaine aka Klaine / Blurt in Glee

Trust me, apart from the B&W topsy turvy close up, these are all different parts of the same kiss. Take a close look. Seriously. We can all learn from this kiss, I've never seen a kissing scene so perfectly executed. Emotions, intensity, technique, drive, timing, context and serious, serious levels of hotness. Did I mention intensity?

2. Blair and Chuck aka Chair in Gossip Girl

Hot. If they didn't cover the essentials so much with positioning and annoying overlaid cinematic effects this could almost be classified soft porn.

3. Willow and Tara in Buffy

First kiss I ever cared about. Ever.


4. Joan and Cherie aka Kristin and Dakota in The Runaways

Hnnnf.
That is all. Damn that groping law. "I wasn't actually allowed to grope her or anything. There were major restrictions."



5. Rachel and Ross in Friends
