"Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed." Possibly the corniest line ever uttered on film, but it was hard not to fall in love with this iconic scene from Four Weddings and a Funeral.
John Lennon and Yoko Ono for Rolling Stone, 1980
Annie Leibovitz captured Lennon's devotion to Ono in this photograph, taken hours before he was killed.

The Kiss by Alfred Eisenstaedt, 1945
Photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt snapped several shots of this kissing pair on the day that Japan surrendered, bringing an end to the Second World War. The sailor and the woman were not a couple - it was a spontaneous moment in the crowd.
Lady And The Tramp, 1955
These two made sharing pasta look incredibly romantic (though messy spaghetti is, of course, a terrible choice for a first date).
Gone With The Wind, 1939
"You need kissing badly," Rhett Butler told Scarlett O'Hara. He wasn't the nicest of husbands, but love it or hate it, that first kiss is unforgettable.
