With over-the-top acting and the fantastic comedic timing of Don Zimmerman’s editing, Fred and Laliari’s iconic smooch from the time Fred successfully uses the digital conveyor in "Galaxy Quest '' wonderfully balances emotions and laughs. Their quirkiness makes them charming, while Guy’s reaction to their kiss is certainly icing on the cake.
The Shape of Water
"The Shape of Water '' delves into the unique romantic bond between Elisa Esposito and the Amphibian Man, a humanoid aquatic creature kept in the facility where she works. When Elisa is shot by Colonel Strickland, the Amphibian Man kisses her underwater, making the scene emotionally significant given Elisa’s childhood scars and her desire to belong.
Blade Runner 2049
"Bladerunner 2049" follows the strange erotic journey between K, his virtual girlfriend Joi, and Mariette, who is hired as a surrogate that Joi can use as a means to achieve sexual intimacy with K. What starts from a kiss, leads to an uncanny yet sexy sequence where the trio becomes in sync with each other.
Planet of the Apes
When it’s time for astronaut George Taylor to part ways with chimpanzee psychologist Dr. Zira in the original “Planet of the Apes,” they do so with a goodbye smooch. While this could be seen as a weird sign of romance, one could also interpret it as a much more profound symbol of their friendship and acceptance for each other despite their differences.
Her
"Her" follows the complicated but beautiful relationship between Theodore and Samantha — a human greeting card designer and a virtual AI assistant, respectively. Though they never literally kiss, the scene in which they discuss their physical desires in bed is incredibly intimate because of the actors’ amazing performances.
