Rachel’s back with memorable kisses

Rachel M. Robinson, Charger Staff

With Valentine’s Day coming up, most people think about kissing, and lots of it! If you are spending your Valentine’s Day with someone special or not (me), here are the top 10 heart-pumping, blood-rushing, feet-tingling movie kisses to watch with the person you love, even if it’s yourself.

10.
From Here to Eternity--An oldie but goodie starring William Holden and Debra Kerr.
9.
Gone With the Wind--This kiss shared between these immortalized characters (Scarlet and Rhett) is movie history. Besides, there's just something about slapping a guy and then kissing him. It's sexy and empowering. (Of course, in return, Rhett shouldn't have pushed Scarlet down the stairs which caused her to miscarry their child....)
8.
10 Things I Hate About You--The "paintballing and hay kiss" takes the cake. Heath Ledger is nice also.
7.
Dirty Dancing--We all know what kiss I am talking about...in the bungalow..with the record player...
6.
Lord of the Rings--I realize everyone is not a diehard LOTR fan (I'm certainly not). However, Aragorn's dream/kissing sequence makes sitting through a three-hour movie worth it.
5.
Shakespeare in Love--First of all, Joseph Fiennes is fine. When Will climbs the trellis to Viola's balcony and then storms into her room to confess his undying love for her...classic.
4.
The Last of the Mohicans--Amid the guts and bloodshed, Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeline Stowe are still able to fall in love. The kissing scene happens after they both almost lose their lives and realize they cannot live without each other.
3.
Speed--Any movie that has traumatic events which bring the characters closer together always has an excellent kiss.
2.
Spiderman--Three words: upside down kiss...Three more words: in the rain. Enough said.
1.
Pretty Woman--I know. I know. Spiderman is supposedly rated one of the top kisses in movie history, but when I had to rate the number one kiss, I looked for classic storylines. This movie is your basic Cinderella story (plus the whole hooker thing). Guy meets girl, transforms girl, guy falls in love but won't admit it, girl goes away, and guy rescues her. Not to mention, Richard Gere is an excellent kisser for an old guy, and there was that whole piano scene.....
