00:00I wanted it to be you so bad.
00:02Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the lip locks that took these duos from friend zone to end zone.
00:15Number 10. Jenna Rink and Maddie Flamme half.
00:1813 going on 30.
00:20Sometimes it takes waking up as a 30 year old and losing the life you knew to make you appreciate what you had.
00:26I want to be 30. 30 and flirty and thriving.
00:3230 and flirty and thriving.
00:35Indeed, this was the case for Jenna Rink. A 13 year old who wishes to be grown up only to learn that it's not all
00:42it's made out to be, and that there are more important things than being popular in high school, like her friendship with Maddie.
00:48If in your heart you really really knew that,
00:51you wouldn't be getting ready to marry someone right now unless
00:57that someone were me. By the time a dull Jenna learns this lesson, it's too late.
01:02He's moved on and is marrying someone else.
01:05Fortunately, this wish comes with an undo.
01:08So when she finds herself back as her 13 year old self, she makes sure he knows how she feels.
01:14Maddie!
01:22Wow, you really know what you're doing.
01:259. Usnavi De La Vega and Vanessa in the Heights.
01:30From the moment we meet Usnavi and Vanessa, we can feel the heat between them.
01:35But no, it has nothing to do with the heat wave.
01:52However, with both setting their sights on getting out of the barrio,
01:56they seem destined to part ways as friends. As Usnavi packs up to head to the Dominican Republic,
02:02Vanessa brings him a bottle of cold champagne to celebrate his big move.
02:06However, she realizes she can't let him go without telling him how she feels.
02:11And it's not like Sonny's got role models, stepping up to the plate.
02:16Yo, what are you talking about?
02:18I'm just saying, I think your vacation can wait.
02:21Only, she doesn't exactly know what to say.
02:24Their interaction is like a bottle of champagne that's been vigorously shaken.
02:28The kiss is the moment the cork pops.
02:30Vanessa, I don't know why you're mad at me.
02:34I wish I was mad.
02:368. Rosie Dunn and Alex Stewart
02:47Love, Rosie.
02:48Technically long-time besties Rosie and Alex share their first kiss on Rosie's 18th birthday.
02:54However, Rosie doesn't remember it.
02:56And a casual comment makes Alex think she's not interested in anything more.
03:01Oh, I feel sick even thinking about it.
03:04But, which part?
03:07All of it.
03:08It never happened.
03:09Alex, okay, you can't, you can't tell anyone.
03:12Alright.
03:13In fact, fate would continue to keep them apart for several years.
03:18However, Alex eventually learns that if it had not been for the misunderstanding all those years ago,
03:23perhaps he and Rosie would have ended up together.
03:26I only realized tonight that you forgot your 18th birthday.
03:36About five tequila slammers in, I think, before you fell off the stool.
03:46Fast forward, he visits Rosie at her hotel and confesses how he feels.
03:50After plenty of missteps and near misses, we could all breathe a sigh of relief.
03:55Rosie Dunn, can I take you to the dance?
03:59Better late than never.
04:05These childhood friends finally share the smooch that would take their relationship to the next level.
04:10When Harry met Sally, can men and women just be friends?
04:18Sure.
04:19I thought you didn't believe men and women could be friends.
04:21When did I say that?
04:22On the ride to New York.
04:24No, no, no.
04:25I never said that.
04:27Yes, that's right.
04:29They can be friends.
04:31This epic rom-com convinces us that some of the best relationships come from friendship.
04:36Harry and Sally don't exactly have the smoothest sailing relationship,
04:40as it has lots of ups and downs and twists and turns.
04:43However, everything changes between them after they spend the night together.
04:47Still, it takes a new year rolling around for both to finally recognize there's more between them than friendship.
04:53I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts.
04:57I love that after I spend a day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes.
05:01And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night.
05:05Although Sally is more reluctant to admit it, Harry has no problem baring his soul.
05:10That is just like you, Harry.
05:12You say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you.
05:17And I hate you, Harry.
05:21I really hate you.
05:23Their kiss cements this film's status as one of the best rom-coms ever.
05:28It's a moment that will make any rom-com fan say,
05:31I'll have what she's having.
05:39Pat and Tiffany first meet over dinner at Pat's friend Ronnie's house and bond over past struggles.
05:45Tiffany's clearly smitten, but Pat's still hung up on his ex, Nikki.
05:49Tiffany offers to help him win her back if he enters a dance contest with her.
05:54But as they spend time together, they form a genuine bond.
05:58How did I do? I think I did pretty well.
06:00Yeah, she said you were cool, basically.
06:02Basically? Was I some percentage not cool?
06:06No, she said you were cool.
06:08After the competition, Tiffany sees Pat with his ex and leaves.
06:12With some encouragement from his father, Pat chases after her and hands her a letter telling her everything.
06:18I love you.
06:23I knew it the minute I met you.
06:26I'm sorry it took so long for me to catch up.
06:29It's a messy yet heartwarming journey,
06:31culminating in a kiss that's sure to make even the hardest-hearted person shed a few tears.
06:36You love me?
06:38Yeah, I do.
06:45Okay.
06:49Number 5. Keith Nelson and Watts' Some Kind of Wonderful
06:55When Howard Deutsch and John Hughes first plotted Pretty in Pink,
06:59they planned for Andy to end up with her best friend Ducky.
07:02Unfortunately, that's not what the test audience wanted.
07:06This is an incredibly romantic moment, and you're ruining it for me.
07:09So, they decided to give their original ending another shot in a new story called Some Kind of Wonderful.
07:15In this version, our protagonist realizes he's in love with his best friend Watts,
07:20who has clearly been infatuated with him for a while.
07:23I express an interest in someone that I don't even know, and you're getting tense.
07:27This is not tension, this is reason.
07:29It's Keith's date Amanda who helps him come to this realization and urges him to follow his heart.
07:35And well, it doesn't get much sweeter than this.
07:38Well, no one does friend to lover quite like Hughes.
07:41I had a feeling.
07:45Well, how do they look?
07:49You look good wearing my future.
07:52Number 4. Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly
07:55You've Got Mail
07:56Don't you hate it when the guy you're kind of into is also running you out of business?
08:01Of course, bookstore owner Kathleen doesn't know this.
08:04She only knows her companion by his online name, NY152.
08:08Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could pass all my zingers to you,
08:12and then I would never behave badly, and you could behave badly all the time, and we'd both be happy.
08:17Meanwhile, in the real world, she meets Joe, who runs a thriving bookstore franchise.
08:23At first, they're bitter rivals, but Joe soon develops feelings for her and strikes up a friendship instead.
08:29I keep on bumping into you.
08:31Yeah.
08:33Hope your mango's ripe.
08:35I think it is.
08:38Hey, you want to bump into me on, say, Saturday around lunchtime?
08:43Yeah.
08:44Over there?
08:45Sure.
08:46When Joe eventually confesses his feelings, she admits she feels the same way.
08:51There's just one problem.
08:53She's still got a thing for a mystery chatroom guy.
08:56Luckily, they turn out to be the same person, just as she had hoped.
09:00Behind me
09:07Where troubles melt like lemon drops
09:16Sasha and Marcus have been inseparable since childhood,
09:19but a rift forms between them when they share a night together after Marcus loses his mom.
09:24Fast forward to adulthood, Sasha, now a renowned chef, returns to San Francisco to launch her new restaurant.
09:31After a brief dalliance with Keanu Reeves, they take their relationship to the next step.
09:36I've missed you.
09:39Me too.
09:40However, just as things seem to be heating up between them, Marcus learns Sasha is not planning on sticking around.
09:47It takes Marcus facing his grief and chasing after her to set things right.
09:51I don't care where it is.
09:53I don't care what outfit I have to wear.
09:56I don't care if I have to eat a lot of tiny little things that I hate.
10:00I just want to be with you.
10:02Finally, after a sweeping declaration of love on the red carpet, they seal the deal with a smooch.
10:08Kiss already.
10:14Mia Thermopolis and Michael Motskovitz
10:18The Princess Diaries
10:20If you were raised on The Princess Diaries, you'd know the ideal kiss has one distinctive hallmark.
10:26In old films, whenever a girl gets seriously kissed, her foot would just kind of pop.
10:32However, Mia discovers that it takes someone truly special to make her foot pop, and it's certainly not any Backstreet Boy clone like Josh Bryant.
10:40Her dream kiss doesn't come until the end of the movie, when she realizes her best friend Lily's brother, Michael, is the one for her.
10:48Why me?
10:52Because you saw me when I was invisible.
10:54Throughout the film, he's clearly smitten with her, while she just sees him as her bestie's big bro.
11:00Their lips finally meet at the Royal Ball after Mia recognizes that Michael appreciated her long before she donned her first tiara.
11:08And just because I'm royal doesn't mean I'm any different.
11:11I mean, come on, I'm really the same person.
11:13Yes, I will have to let you know me a little bit, but I'm still going to go to school.
11:19Cue the foot pop.
11:20Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
11:24Peter and Nick, single all the way.
11:27The only thing missing is the mistletoe.
11:29I said that I would miss you if you moved here.
11:31Well, that implies that you're not moving here.
11:33Well, you never asked.
11:34I know. I was scared.
11:36I was scared, too.
11:38Jack Malick and Ellie Appleton, yesterday.
11:42After all, it was the Beatles who sang All You Need Is Love.
11:52Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
11:57There's nothing like the fight to defeat evil to make you give in to your feelings.
12:02Nick and Nora, Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist.
12:06We could revisit this moment infinite times.
12:21Wallace and Chantry, the F word.
12:24What if Wallace had chosen to skip the party?
12:26What would you do differently?
12:28Nothing.
12:33Me, too.

12:52Come on, do friend-to-lover kisses get any more iconic than this one?
13:04Sure, Tom Holland and Zendaya Smooch's friend-to-lover kiss is iconic.
13:08But it's not enough to make it iconic.
13:10It's not enough to make it iconic.
13:12It's not enough to make it iconic.
13:14It's not enough to make it iconic.
13:16It's not enough to make it iconic.
13:18Sure, Tom Holland and Zendaya Smooch is pretty unforgettable thanks to their undeniable chemistry.
13:24Still, nothing beats this moment.
13:27By now, Mary Jane has started to develop feelings for Spider-Man.
13:31You have a knack for getting in trouble.
13:33You have a knack for saving my life.
13:35Little does she know that her school friend Peter Parker is masked underneath.
13:40Yet, when Spider-Man swoops in to rescue Mary Jane once more, she passionately shows her appreciation.
13:46Do you want to get to say thank you this time?
13:50Wait.
13:51It's not just an unforgettable kiss.
13:53Spider-Man hanging upside down in the rain while Mary Jane leans in creates one of the most memorable cinematic visuals all time.
14:01Our Spidey senses told us this relationship had just swung to new heights.
