I think the Cruel Intentions kiss between Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair definitely belongs on the list.
Besides, it's amusing how everyone complains about these lists usually being biased toward newer movies/events, but this one seems the opposite.

Well it is a list from Hershey being used as a marketing campaign so maybe it's a conspiracy aimed at a target audience Trying to get the grandparents to purchase candy for their grandkids since all the parents are into health kicks now

I think you have to include Chris Reeve and Margot Kidder, "Superman" (1978). In terms of significance (Lois Lane's memory erase) and emotional impact (Clark Kent losing Lois' love), it is definitely one of the best.
I also think the first kiss of James Stewart and Donna Reed, "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) ought to be top ten.
Remove the two Ringwald kisses.

Rock Hudson. HAHAHAHAHA
This list is null and void since it doesn't include Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly(Bound) somewhere in the top 3.

(Yes, I do see the irony in this post).

Grace Kelley kissing a sleeping Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window is the apex for me. That was just amazing.

Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
but seriously, any kiss when 2 women are kissing ranks up there.
Did Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon make out in that movie they did? forget the name, and who cares? LOL)
Rebecca Romijn Stamos and the half-naked Gold Snake Jewelry chick (another one that cant remember the name too and dont care)
