The Best of the Kissing Contest Moments
My favorite movie kiss has to be when Robert E. Howard (played by Vincent D'Onofrio) finally kisses Novalyn Price (played by Renee Zellweger) in The Whole Wide World. The first time I saw that kiss I felt a jolt...well, let's just say all the way down to my toes.
And it's happened every time I have seen it since. I have to say that has never happened with any other movie kiss. I thought Vincent perfectly captured the tortured pulp fiction author (Weird Tales - Conan the Barbarian) from the 1930s and Renee was perfect as the educated and independent teacher who falls for the brilliant writer. This movie was based on the true story written by Novalyn Price in her book about her passionate relationship with Bob Howard. It's a wonderful film and a compelling love story.

It was a hell of a kiss!
Let's do a show of hands: Who wants to trade places with Renee? *grin*
I have this on DVD and probably watch it about twice a month. This has got to be the best kiss i've ever seen.
Loved the movie and that was definitely the BEST screen kiss EVER. Lucky, lucky, lucky Renee.
I felt the JOLT as well!
Renee has really very lucky. Vincent kiss ardently in these films (see Happy Accident, The Velocity of Gary, etc. ..). I have a weakness for Happy Accident.
*raises hand* *raises other hand* *raises feet*
