00:00When this ship docks, I'm getting off with you.
00:06This is crazy.
00:08I know, it doesn't make any sense.
00:11Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:15for the steamiest and most romantic kisses in historical movies.
00:1910. Lucy and George in the Poppy Field
00:31A Room with a View
00:39Repressed urges and oppressive social structures are all on display in turn-of-the-century Italy,
00:45where Lucy Honeychurch accompanies her fussy older cousin Charlotte on a holiday.
00:50While in Florence, she meets a fellow traveler, George Emerson.
00:54His free spirit attracts her.
00:56However, a relationship between them would be completely inappropriate,
00:59as Charlotte reminds her.
01:01Unfortunately, I have met the type before.
01:06They seldom keep their exploits to themselves.
01:11Exploits!
01:12Driven by passion and the chance to finally be alone,
01:15the two have a brief but passionate embrace in a poppy field,
01:19while Puccini plays over the soundtrack.
01:21The kiss is interrupted by a scandalized Charlotte, but she's too late.
01:25Not even social custom will keep these two apart now.
01:299. Carol and Therese on New Year's Eve
01:44Carol
01:52From their first meeting at a Manhattan department store,
01:55the sophisticated Carol-aired and aspiring photographer Therese are drawn to one another.
02:00But this is the 1950s.
02:02Even if they wanted to move faster, Carol is in the middle of a messy divorce,
02:06and her sexuality means she could lose custody of her daughter.
02:10After half a movie's worth of flirting and longing,
02:13Carol and Therese spend New Year's Eve in a motel together.
02:16Happy New Year.
02:18Happy New Year.
02:19It's their first time away from Carol's estranged husband and the threat of being found out.
02:29As the clock strikes midnight, they share their first kiss.
02:32It's a deeply romantic and moody scene.
02:448. Newland and Countess Olenska in the carriage
02:48The Age of Innocence
03:02Rumor and innuendo are dangerous in 19th century New York high society.
03:07Newland Archer is engaged when he meets his fiancée's cousin, Countess Olenska,
03:12a figure of scandal and unearned scorn from the city's social elite.
03:19Oh, my dear.
03:23Where is that country? Have you ever been there?
03:25He becomes her champion, which ultimately leads to an affair between them.
03:29Of course, affair is a strong word here.
03:32The two never actually consummate their love.
03:34Their passion for each other is so strong that even a short brushing of their lips feels like an explosive kiss.
03:40In reality, it's as close as they may ever come to being together.
03:487. Cecilia and Robbie in the library
04:10Atonement
04:11I'm so sorry. It was the wrong version.
04:14Yes.
04:19It was never meant to be read.
04:20No.
04:21Cecilia Tallis is the daughter of a wealthy family,
04:23whose banter with the housekeeper's son Robbie is a cover for an intense attraction.
04:28But the difference in their social classes makes acting on that attraction difficult.
04:32After her younger sister intercepts an obscene letter Robbie writes,
04:36the two finally have to confront the truth.
04:38I thought if he went away to medical school then I'd be happy,
04:41but I don't know how I could have been so ignorant about myself.
04:49So stupid.
04:51For a love scene, it's pretty tense.
04:53There's a lot at stake here.
04:55But once they realize they feel the same way,
04:57they don't waste much more time talking.
04:59This scene is every historical romance fan's dream.
05:03It's got beautiful people, great costumes, steamy kissing, and a room full of books.
05:08Don't you know?
05:10Yes, I know exactly.
05:126. Shakespeare and Viola Backstage – Shakespeare in Love
05:22Tell me how you love her, Will.
05:24Like a sickness and its cure together.
05:28Yes, like rain and sun.
05:32It's Elizabethan England, and women are not allowed on stage.
05:37William Shakespeare is on the verge of debuting his immortal classic Romeo and Juliet,
05:42and his leading man is actually a woman.
05:45Viola de Lesseps has donned male drag to play Romeo.
05:49After finding her out, Shakespeare falls for her.
05:52However, the two can only meet in secret.
05:54During rehearsals for the play,
05:56they steal lustful kisses through the curtain under the nose of the entire ensemble.
06:02Away, be gone. The sport is at the best.
06:05Aye, so I fear, the more is my unrest.
06:09Like the star-crossed lovers of the story, they're playing with fire,
06:13but clearly their love is too powerful to deny.
06:17No, do not go.
06:19I must. I must.
06:255. Rhett and Scarlett's Sunset Kiss – Gone With the Wind
06:30Why should you go now that after it's all over and I need you?
06:33Why? Why?
06:34Maybe it's because I've always had a weakness for lost causes once they're really lost.
06:39No matter how you feel about this controversial Civil War epic,
06:42the movie was sold on the romantic embraces of its two leads.
06:46After witnessing the burning of Atlanta,
06:48Captain Rhett Butler announces he's leaving to join the war.
06:51Before he goes, he confesses his love for Scarlett O'Hara.
06:55Butler embraces Scarlett and kisses her against a fiery red sunset,
07:00made especially gorgeous by the vibrancy of early Technicolor.
07:04There's a soldier in the south who loves you, Scarlett.
07:07Wants to feel your arms around him.
07:08Wants to carry the memory of your kisses into battle with him.
07:11Never mind about loving me.
07:13You're a woman sending a soldier to his death with a beautiful memory.
07:17Scarlett, kiss me.
07:20Kiss me once.
07:26Scarlett's furious when she finally remembers herself,
07:29but it's a sweeping and elegant moment
07:31that has gone on to become a huge part of the movie's legacy.
07:36A minor point in such a moment.
07:39Number 4.
07:40Elizabeth and Darcy's engagement.
07:43Pride and Prejudice.
07:45Well then.
07:51Your hands are cold.
07:54Jane Austen's most enduring romantic pairing
07:56starts off on the hilariously wrong foot.
07:59Social commentary and 18th century high society hijinks ensue
08:03before everyone gets their act together and the two reunite,
08:07finally ready to admit they're crazy for each other.
08:10Then, when they do finally kiss,
08:12it's the sweetest, most adorable moment in the whole movie.
08:16Lizzie insists he should only call her Mrs. Darcy when he's happy.
08:20He repeats the name, planting a kiss on her face each time.
08:24But how are you this evening?
08:27Mrs. Darcy.
08:36Be still, our beating hearts.
08:38It's such a delightful and heartwarming place to leave the two.
08:42Mrs. Darcy.
08:46Mrs. Darcy.
08:48Mrs. Darcy.
08:54Mrs. Darcy.
09:05Number 3.
09:06Ennis and Jack reunite.
09:08Brokeback Mountain.
09:18This 2005 tragedy about two cowboys who meet, fall in love,
09:23and only find fleeting time to be together in the years afterward
09:27won acclaim and broke hearts.
09:29First meeting in 1963,
09:31Ennis and Jack don't see each other again for years.
09:34When they do finally reunite, they can barely contain themselves.
09:39Son of a bitch.
09:42Oh.
09:46Alright.
09:50They throw caution to the wind and kiss hungrily outside Ennis' apartment complex.
09:55Everything that's gone unsaid in those years apart is said in that kiss.
09:59It's a scene where the dramatic stakes are already high.
10:02There's always the threat that they will be discovered,
10:05but it's a moment where the two don't seem to worry about that at all.
10:11Oh.
10:18Number 2.
10:19Ali and Noah's kiss in the rain.
10:22The Notebook.
10:23I'm going crazy over here, but no, with you everything's fine.
10:27You don't have a care in the world?
10:29Ali meets Noah in the summer of 1940,
10:32when he is a laborer and she's the heiress of a family fortune.
10:35They're forced to part, and his love letters are intercepted by Ali's snobbish mother,
10:40who knows that Noah is their social inferior.
10:43She is out fooling around with that boy till 2 o'clock in the morning,
10:46and it has got to stop.
10:48I didn't spend 17 years of my life raising a daughter and giving her everything
10:53so she could throw it away on a summer romance.
10:55Daddy!
10:56In a now iconic scene, Ali tearfully confronts Noah during a rainstorm,
11:00thinking he never wrote to her.
11:02Both had seemingly given up hope that their relationship would ever continue,
11:06but now they realize that was never going to happen.
11:09Their kiss in the rain gives us all the feels,
11:11and a boatload of unrealistic expectations.
11:15You broke me?
11:16Yes!
11:19It wasn't over.
11:22It still isn't over.

11:57Hello, Jack.
12:04I changed my mind.
12:05A standoffish socialite and a penniless artist
12:08meet and fall in love aboard the doomed RMS Titanic.
12:12Realizing she can never choose her callous fiancé
12:15and turning her back on the life she thought she wanted,
12:18Rose DeWitt Bukater runs to find Jack Dawson,
12:21finding him on deck.
12:23Framed against the last sunset of the ill-fated voyage,
12:26Rose joins Jack on the bow of the ship.
12:29Now hold on to the railing.
12:31Keep your eyes closed, don't pee.
12:33I'm not.
12:35Step up onto the rail.
12:41Hold on.
12:43Hold on.
12:44Keep your eyes closed.
12:46Do you trust me?
12:48I trust you.
12:49They share their very first kiss as that sweeping epic score plays
12:54and they are bathed in warm golden hour light.
12:57It's an unforgettable moment in a truly unforgettable cinematic romance.
13:06Did our list make you swoon?
