00:00Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best film kisses that don't happen until the very end.
00:18Number 10, Speed.
00:30Talk about a wild way to meet somebody.
00:37After surviving a bus bomb and a runaway subway car, Jack and Annie show their feelings for each other.
00:43They've developed an unlikely bond that culminates with their safe landing at the conclusion.
00:48Thanks to movie logic, the duo kiss instead of going to the hospital.
01:01We can't argue with it too much because the chemistry between Keanu Reeves and Sondra Bullock is off the charts.
01:08Speed finds a satisfying way to end the action-packed film, giving the two heroes a chance to share an intimate moment together.
01:31Number 9, Wedding Crashers.
01:35At the end of this comedy, John Beckwith decides to put his womanizing past behind him.
01:41He crashes one more wedding in a romantic gesture to win back Claire Cleary.
01:47Claire, I'm not standing here asking you to marry me.
01:50I'm just asking you not to marry him.
01:56And maybe take a walk.
01:58After proclaiming his love and apologizing, Beckwith kisses Cleary.
02:02The profound moment marks the end of the hero's selfishness.
02:06It'd be a total cliche if I kissed you right now.
02:09Yes.
02:14While he might be interrupting his friend's ceremony, he's also proving that he's ready to settle down.
02:20Owen Wilson brings out all of his charms for the scene as he woos back his love interest.
02:25Even in a hilarious movie, the ending finds a way to remind everyone of the heartwarming romance underneath it all.
02:32So what's today?
02:33I'm starving.
02:34Fuji Mora wedding, 3 p.m.
02:38I'm just throwing it out there. I'm just saying.
02:42It would have great tempura.
02:44Number eight, you've got mail.
02:46Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox are rivals in real life, but online, they're falling in love.
02:52The latter finds out first and sets up the elaborate meeting where he reveals the truth.
02:57How about meeting Saturday?
03:02Four o'clock.
03:04There's a place in Riverside Park and 91st Street where the path curves and there's a garden.
03:10Brinkley and I will be waiting.
03:12Kelly is both surprised and grateful that it's Fox kissing him in a hugely satisfying scene.
03:18Don't cry, shop girl.
03:22Don't cry.
03:27I wanted it to be you.
03:31I wanted it to be you so bad.
03:33You've been wanting them to get together for so long that this sequence can't come soon enough.
03:38Their embrace feels like a huge relief for both the characters and the audience,
03:42with the anticipation almost becoming too much.
03:49Where troubles melt like lemon drops.
03:53Thankfully, we're able to watch these two charismatic performers show why they're beloved.
03:58Number seven, The Breakfast Club.
04:01In one of John Hughes' most iconic films, he assembles a group of five different teenagers for detention.
04:07Any questions?
04:11Yeah, I got a question.
04:14Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?
04:17Give you the answer to that question, Mr. Bender, next Saturday.
04:22Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns.
04:24Two potential couples emerge from this life-changing day, including Andrew Clarke and Alison Reynolds.
04:30As they leave, these two share a meaningful kiss before parting ways.
04:35The opposites prove to have more in common than anyone could have imagined.
04:39This passionate goodbye shows that they could likely become partners in the coming week.
04:44John Bender and Claire Standish also share a kiss.
04:55But the latter already pecked the bad boy while they were inside.
04:59Why'd you do that?
05:01I knew you wouldn't.
05:02It's unclear if any of them will remain friends or more, but Hughes allows them a romantic exit that gives the audience hope.
05:09Number six, Never Been Kissed.
05:11Thank you.
05:14Um, may I have five minutes on the clock, please?
05:21Josie waits for Sam on the baseball diamond at the end of Never Been Kissed.
05:25As the clock counts down, it's unclear if the heroine's dream will come true.
05:30That all changes when her prince charming runs in at the last minute.
05:34With everyone cheering them on, the two get their moment to shine.
05:38Drew Barrymore's character also sets the bar high with her first kiss ever.
05:50After all the buildup, this movie pays off with a home run for Josie.
05:54The beauty of this scene is that it feels larger than life while also capturing the emotional experience in intimate detail.
06:01Sorry I'm late.
06:04Took me forever to get here.
06:10I know what you mean.
06:24Number five, Beauty and the Beast.
06:26When he's mortally wounded by Gaston, the Beast looks as if he'll be gone forever.
06:32Belle then watches him rise and transform into a human.
06:46With the power of love, the prince returns to his original form and kisses his partner.
06:59It's a miraculous turn of events that ends with the two happily ever after.
07:04With this moment, Beauty and the Beast makes you believe in love once again.
07:08The incredible animation only works to emphasize that important point.
07:13When the fireworks fly and fireworks go off, you can't help but smile at this happy reunion.
07:18Are they gonna live happily ever after, Mama?
07:21Of course, my dear.
07:23Number four, Sixteen Candles.
07:26Sam Baker goes through an embarrassing adventure in Sixteen Candles, but it isn't complete without a wish-fulfilling end.
07:32Her crush, Jake, shows up outside her sister's wedding to surprise her.
07:41Baker is shocked to see him at all, let alone spend a birthday with him.
07:50They both share a romantic scene over cake.
07:59This also prompts a memorable conclusion where the two kiss.
08:03The mood, the lighting, and the candles all contribute to this iconic moment.
08:09While she starts the movie unsure of her teenage troubles, the heroine manages to finish the film in a dreamlike sequence.
08:17Congrats.
08:21It already came true.
08:38Number three, Lost in Translation.
08:41Aren't you gonna wish me a good fright or something?
08:44Yeah, right.
08:51Okay, bye.
08:53What does Bill Murray say to Scarlett Johansson at the end of this film?
08:58It's best left up to the imagination, but it's only one element of this final exchange.
09:03Murray's character, Bob, kisses Scarlett in a bittersweet scene.
09:07We know that they can't be together, but we love that they're able to share one more moment together.
09:15Bye.
09:25Bye.
09:27Sofia Coppola's romantic film throws out cliches in order to explore a deeper human connection between two people.
09:34The couple part ways with the knowledge that they've enriched each other's lives.
09:38With their kiss, the duo say farewell in an unforgettable finale.
09:43Number two, Shrek.
09:45While they start off as opposites, Shrek and Princess Fiona end up having much more in common.
09:50The hero falls for the royal, tracks her down, and pledges himself to her.
10:00While their kiss doesn't break Fiona's curse, it does prove the two truly love each other no matter what.
10:06The film couches a powerful lesson into this moment, showing that love isn't all about looks.
10:12But I don't understand. I'm supposed to be beautiful.
10:20But you are beautiful.
10:21This couple embraces their true selves.
10:24The magical scene also brings this fairy tale to a close in style.
10:28I was hoping this would be a happy ending.
10:35I thought love was only true in fairy tales.
10:40Even though the movie makes fun of fantasy stories, it also embraces a classic heartfelt ending.
