Romantic scenes are a common occurrence in popular Hollywood films. At specific moments during filming, actors and actresses are known for their ability to be guided by chemistry alone, leading to a spontaneous and special moment that ends up feeling more “real” to the viewer. Sometimes, these moments become iconic events, even though the kiss was done in the spur of the moment without much prior planning.
Naturally, there are also times when onscreen kisses have little effect on the audience, especially if the pair on screen are not believable as a couple to begin with. Making a great film requires a collective effort of the work of a large team of people, each of which having a specific role to ensure that the final product is something that will be palatable and enjoyable. As the following unrehearsed kisses suggest, often a pure moment of bliss not only amplifies the film, but gives audiences something to remember a long time after they’ve watched the film.

Top Gun (1986)
Top Gun is a well-known cult classic starring Tom Cruise (Maverick) and Kelly McGillis (Charlie) playing opposite each other in what was supposed to be a story that didn’t suggest any kind of spark between the pair. In the original script, the moment where Cruise surprises her with a kiss after she confesses she wants to keep her feelings for him a secret wasn’t even a part of the original story.
