Did someone say SLUTTY TRUMPETS??

On today's ep, we talk all things smoochin' -- our own first kisses, what makes a good kiss (real life) and what makes a good kiss (MOVIE), and, of course, our favorite onscreen lip locks. From sweepingly epic embraces to hothothot snowy canoodles, a good movie kiss can make or break a movie. What are YOUR faves?
