In this Pictofact, we continue our scholarly study of rom-com tropes, in this case particularly focused on first kisses. Unlike other tropes like the meet-cute, however, the first kiss offers more flexibility. Characters have to meet, obviously, but the moment their first kiss arrives can happen early on, later in the story, and even take place in situations and ways that can give it a further twist. But wait — come to think about it, the first kiss is not even a rom-com trope…
Alright, we now take a look at 20 swoon-worthy first kisses in movies in general. As we will now see, even dramas and action movies have fantastic first kisses. We mostly went with a bunch of rom-coms, because of course we did, but we also considered a few surprising films that nevertheless have that sweet, sweet moment. For example, did Cannibal Holocaust have a first kiss? Yeah, probably, in the prom scene. In any case, first kisses are adorable — or so we assume, that’s what we have been told by movies, and trust us, movie tropes are not meet-cute material. Anyway, let’s triangular-gaze some movie first kisses!
Titanic
![First Kisses in Movies Titanic In this classic scene, Jack and Rose hold each other on the front of the Titanic, and they kiss. Yes, Jack saying shh to Rose like a boyband member at TRL is cheesy, and Rose saying she's flying is some George Lucas-quality writing. But hey, the scene is sweet, and if Titanic were a bad movie it'd be called Pearl Harbor. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/8/0/868780.jpg)
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
![First Kisses in Movies Scott Pilgrim vs. the World After Scott learns about different types of tea, Ramona goes off to get a blanket. Не sneaks into her changing her clothes, she chastises him, and then kisses him. Dream date, seriously. The kiss is so sweet that little pink hearts fly out, which we would say is a perfect visual flourish, but Scott Pilgrim is nothing but visual flourishes.

The Mask of Zorro
![First Kisses in Movies The Mask of Zorro The entire fight scene between Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones feels like foreplay before the steamiest shagging session ever. There are innuendos, banter, moaning, rough play, dude even undresses her-and then they kiss. Oh, and the kiss is like a fight scene, but with their tongues. How was this softcore flick PG-13?

Spider-Man: Far from Home
![First Kisses in Movies Spider-Man: Far from Home Zendaya's adorable take on MJ is the emotional core of the MCU Spidey trilogy. In the second movie, after Spider-Man has defeated Mysterio, she runs to hug him, then kisses him, and then they both say they like each other very much. It's a very sweet scene about the awkwardness of first love (and about teenagers being just weird). CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/7/6/868776.jpg)
Captain America: The First Avenger
![First Kisses in Movies Captain America: The First Avenger Nope, we're not thinking about Cap's final kiss with Carter. Way before that, one brave patriot (insanely-sexily played by Natalie Dormer) thanks him for his service by just chomping on his face. Seriously, if Carter had not ruined everything like the soulmate she was, Cap would have totally gotten an amazing CENSORED CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/7/4/868774.jpg)
Good Will Hunting
![First Kisses in Movies Good Will Hunting Will is out on a date with Skylar. After hijinks at the novelty shop, they're stuffing their faces with burgers, and he says he was waiting to get laid, not for a kiss. She laughs, he says that he actually did want a kiss, and they just get it over with. It's a sweet and anticlimactic, Annie Hall-like kiss.

My Girl
![First Kisses in Movies My Girl The kiss scene has not aged badly - but the scene's music has. Really, that's some loud and invasive, Looney Tunes-like music, movie. Just let Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky be all awkward while getting cooties and not dying from bees, sheesh. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/8/4/868784.jpg)
The Spectacular Now
![First Kisses in Movies The Spectacular Now When Sutter's drinking is a fun quirk and not dark yet, he goofs off with Aimee during a lake barbecue. She says guys don't look at her like that, and Sutter tells her she's beautiful. She laughs, and he kisses her. The dialogue and camerawork work wonderfully, and Shailene Woodley's acting is realistic and adorable. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/7/7/868777.jpg)
Bad Teacher
![First Kisses in Movies Bad Teacher By the end of this hilarious and absolutely underrated comedy, Jason Segel stops flirting aggressively with Cameron Diaz to tell her he's actually seeing someone - but it turns out that's a bluff. Laughing at the nerve of the gym teacher, she kisses him. Aggressively. And then the movie still manages to throw like ten more good jokes.

Moonlight
![First Kisses in Movies Moonlight Moonlight is a perfect movie. Case in point: Kevin and Chiron's stoned beach kiss is the most intimate moment the latter ever had, and it works as the emotional anchor of the entire movie. By the time they reunite, begin patching things over, and hold each other in the moonlight, we had long been sold on this masterpiece.

We're the Millers
![First Kisses in Movies We're the Millers For his character's first kiss scene, Will Poulter got to make out with Jennifer Aniston and Emma Roberts at the same time. We're not saying we're jealous, just that the scene is hilarious, some jokes truly land ('now this time, I want you to choke me a little bit), and the movie itself is super underrated. (And we are jealous, obviously). CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/7/3/868773.jpg)
As Good as It Gets
![First Kisses in Movies As Good as It Gets Carol likes Melvin, but he's just n obnoxious pain in the ass. Still, he knocks it out of the park when she asks for a compliment, and when he's about to go back into weirdo mode, she kisses him and they share a giggle. This movie should really begin receiving more love again. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/6/7/868767.jpg)
The End of Evangelion
![First Kisses in Movies The End of Evangelion As usual, whiny Shinji does not want to drive the Eva because existence is pain, or whatever. Except this time he really needs to, so a wounded Misato confronts him, gives him a grown-up kiss, and sends him off after telling him they'll do the rest afterwards. Then Misato dies-and we're just left there crying like some Shinji. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/6/5/868765.jpg)
Edge of Tomorrow
![First Kisses in Movies Edge of Tomorrow Cage and Vrataski have never gotten so far in trying to defeat the time-looping aliens, and they know they're not getting out of their lair alive. As they're about to make one last stand, she thanks him for helping her get revenge - and kisses him. The fact Emily Blunt improvised the move because it felt right only makes it better.

The Girl Next Door
![First Kisses in Movies The Girl Next Door In perhaps the best scene in this forgotten teen romcom, Matthew has been separated from pornstar sweetheart Danielle by some douchebros, and is told to leave while she's getting hit on by, erm, Chad McDouchebro. The scene wastes no time and cuts straight to the sweetness: Не walks towards them, pushes Chad away, and bam, now we're swooning.

Donnie Darko
![First Kisses in Movies Donnie Darko Gretchen has told Donnie she wants her first kiss to remind her of how beautiful the world can be (alsos, there was a fat guy staring at them), so she kisses him after being bullied by Seth Rogen and that other guy. Just another beautiful and magical scene in this beautiful and magical movie (but total dick move, Rogen). CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/6/6/868766.jpg)
Bring It On
![First Kisses in Movies Bring It On Is there a GIF of Kirsten Dunst's smirking, determined, just badass face as he grabs Jesse Bradford and kisses him? There really should be, just look at that face. You might remember they had drifted apart after he saw her with her ex, but then he got his act together, supported her, and, well, whatever, this movie is awesome.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
![First Kisses in Movies Breakfast at Tiffany's After Holly and Paul steal masks, they run and giggle, and end up at her building. For a 1961 film, it's a pretty sexy scene, as they stare at each other while the music swells, only for it to go quiet when he finally kisses her. Thankfully, no Japanese-playing Mickey Rooney barges in to ruin the scene. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/6/3/868763.jpg)
Love Actually
![First Kisses in Movies Love Actually Little Sam jumps airport security to say goodbye to his crush Joanna. Afterwards, Joanna goes outside as well to give Sam a peck on the cheek, and he then joyfully hugs his dad. It's all very sweet, very heteronormative, and very Freudian (but how did Joanna leave the secure area?) CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/6/4/868764.jpg)
Back to the Future
![First Kisses in Movies Back to the Future You have this scene tattooed in your brain, don't you? Marty plays Earth Angel as he waits for his parents to kiss, but begins to fade out of existence as some creepy rando starts groping Lorraine. Then George returns like a boss, pushes the rando away, and kisses Lorraine in a spacetime continuum-saving moment. CRACKED.COM](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/7/7/1/868771.jpg)
