The 1978 Danish film Du er ikke alene (You Are Not Alone) ends with a show the boys at a boarding school put on to illustrate the Ten Commandments. 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself' is illustrated with a short movie showing 15-year-old Bo, a pupil at the school, and 12-year-old Kim, the headmaster's son (Kim is a male name in Denmark) hugging and kissing. It packs quite a punch, both within the film itself and within the context of the time when the film was made. The film became iconic for being the first Danish film to show a homosexual relationship.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Hermione has just destroyed a Horcrux, she and Ron are both drenched with water, and they just pounce on each other, replete with epic kiss music.

In The Heat Mullins gives one to a random guy at a bar, and he is played by none other than Melissa McCarthy's real life husband Ben Falcone.

In the otherwise grim Ivan's Childhood, there is The Big Damn Kiss in the forest scene between Capt. Kholin and army nurse Masha. While he's walking with her through the woods, they come to a large ditch and he offers to carry her over it. When he takes her in his arms, he suddenly pulls her in for a kiss while she's still dangling over the ditch, and the scene is shot in such a way that it looks like he's holding her above a huge, dark chasm.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle: Spencer and Martha share a surprisingly passionate one right near the end of the movie not long after they’ve repossessed their original teen forms.
Subverted in Jurassic World, where Lowery decides to remain at his station to provide aid despite the risk and tries to give one of these to his co-worker Vivian before she leaves. She backs off and asks him what he's doing, and reveals she has a boyfriend. She just doesn't talk about him because they're at work. An earlier scene between the main characters Owen and Claire played the trope straight (which only made the later subversion funnier) after Claire saves Owen from a Dimorphodon.
One of the earliest films, The Kiss (1896) featured nothing but a couple kissing for 18 seconds. It was the first time movie audiences saw two people kissing on screen and by being seen in such a large frame it immediately caused a scandal.
Gilbert: Any sign of Charles yet? Iris: No, I can't see him. Gilbert: Well, this is where we say goodbye. [Iris is about to shake his hand when she suddenly sees someone and hastily gets inside a nearby cab.] Gilbert:[taken aback] What's the matter? [Iris simply looks agitatedly outside the window; Gilbert, following her gaze, sees the ultimate Upper-Class Twit standing in the station, evidently searching for someone] Gilbert:[jumps into the cab and settles down besides Iris with a wide grin] Charles?

[She is stopped as Gilbert sweeps her into his arms and seals her mouth shut with their First Kiss.] Cab driver: Are you going anywhere? Gilbert:[muffled] Foreign Office.
At the end of the film from Let Me In Abby kisses Owen deeply on the lips. Previously, they'd only show mutual affection by hugging or kissing him on the cheek. This scene clearly shows that they are more than friends now, they have become real lovers. This kiss is heartwarming and terrifying at the same time. The vampire Abby previously killed a human, and that human's blood is still on her lips when she kisses Owen (who is a human), causing her to smear blood on his lips as well. At the same time, this bloody kiss could be seen as a harbinger that it is Owen's future fate to be turned into a vampire by Abby.

Amusingly, after doing Cap casts a nervous glance at Peggy's superior officer, who snarks, "I'm not kissing you!"
Double subverted in Thor where Thor and Jane almost kiss with Thor uncertainly pulling away before it happens and he kisses her hand for a second time. But Jane pulls him into the kiss anyways.

A rather famous one in Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious between Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. The censors at the time didn't allow for a kiss to last longer than 3 seconds. The Big Damn Kiss moment in that movie breaks up the kiss at just the right moments to have the couple keep repeatedly kissing each other.
Averted in Pacific Rim; Raleigh and Mako have a Headbutt of Love at the end, and Raleigh does talk about "never thinking about the future until now" while looking at Mako, but nothing else.
The kiss between Elizabeth and Will in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End after their marriage at sea: Surrounded by an Epic Fight, trading blows between exchanging vows, culminating in an Orbital Kiss a few minutes before Will is killed and comes back from the dead.

The Princess Bride: "Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind." (Curiously, in the original novel, this line — and the kiss — was at the beginning of the story, while in the movie it is at the end.)

Speed and Trixie's kiss at the end of the Speed Racer live action movie.
The 2002 Spider-Man gave us the upside-down kiss that has since become one of the most iconic kisses in cinema history. But according to Kirsten Dunst, the scene was a pain to shoot because rainwater was going straight into Tobey Maguire's nose and he was taking gasps of air out the far side of his mouth.
Steps Trodden Black: After risking his life to bring her back from the dead with alien technology, Jack gets one with Sam.
Tomorrow Never Dies: Although Bond is ostensibly giving air to Wai Lin so that she can breathe underwater, the way his mouth closes over hers for an extended period of time and the manner in which he holds her face look exactly like a passionate French kiss. The sweeping music, their flowing hair (the ocean current creates an effect which appears similar to wind), the warm colouring and lighting of the shot leave absolutely no doubt that this scene is epically romantic. Cue the collective swooning of Pierce Brosnan's fangirls.

Madmartigan and Sorsha get two in Willow. The first is in Sorsha's tent while Madmartigan is under the influence of a Love Potion. He kicks the ass of a couple guards, cuts the ropes supporting the tent, and takes a moment to grab Sorsha for a passionate kiss as it collapses around them, all before cutting his way out of it again to escape with Willow and Elora Danan. Later during the fight at Tir Asleen, Madmartigan single-handedly takes down the giant two-headed dragon while Sorsha is watching him throughout the battle, increasingly amazed at his badassery. When the dragon goes down and Madmartigan is thrown to the ground she's standing over him with her sword drawn, and as he backs away from her unarmed (she's still technically his enemy at this point) Sorsha grabs him by the front of his armor, hauls him to his feet and plants an equally epic kiss on him as she completes her Heel–Face Turn.
Yves Saint Laurent: In 1950s Paris, Yves Saint Laurent kisses Pierre Bergé on the banks of the Seine, and it begins what will be a 50-year partnership in business and in life.
