abroke1.jpgI just noticed this on USA Today's POP CANDY blog and had to share it even if it was released last week. If I hadn't seen it, chances are a lot of you had not either: Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger's gay kiss in 'Brokeback Mountain' was voted the best screen kiss of all time, according to an online poll conducted by DVD rental firm LOVEFiLM.com.

abreakfast.jpgAudrey Hepburn and George Peppard's romantic scene in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' was voted second (I agree!), while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's passionate kiss in 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' came third. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh took fourth place with their tender moment in 'Gone With The Wind'. The other same-sex kiss to rank high was Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair's lesbian clinch in 'Cruel Intentions' which claimed fifth position.

Here is the complete list:
1. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in 'Brokeback Mountain'
2. Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'
3. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'
4. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in 'Gone With The Wind'
5. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair in 'Cruel Intentions'
6. Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster in 'From Here To Eternity'
7. Al Pacino and John Cazale in 'Godfather'
8. Colin Firth and Renee Zellweger in 'Bridget Jones' Diary'
9. Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst in 'Spiderman'
10. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray in 'Dirty Dancing'

What I wanna know is this: why didn't the kiss between Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Dr. in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" make the list? Just kidding. I just found it while surfing for "Brokeback" smooches and wanted to share:

I also thought it would be fun to also add some of the comments readers made after the list was published on PopCandy. Feel free to add your thoughts to the Out In Hollywood blog
