Improvisation adds a lot to the movies: the actors that participate in it show their genuine reactions to the actions of those who do something outside of the script, making the whole sequence feel more grounded in reality and believable.

And kisses are no exception: sometimes, they just happen on screen and they seem so fitting even if they weren't scripted.

There are various reasons for sudden kisses to appear in the movies. Sometimes, it just fits the moment and works right, like in Lost in Translation or Star Wars: The Last Jedi, adding the impact to the scene. Sometimes, it is used to fill the gaps in shows full of improv, like in New Girl or The Office.

Sudden kisses add shock value, both actors and viewers experience it in its fullness, and it elevates the scene, like in American Hustle or Edge of Tomorrow.

Usually, kisses serve as climactic moments in the shows, ones that happen during the time of stress or in the near grave danger, and they are used to convey the deep connection between characters — and when they are sudden it feels even more right.

But please, don't just forcefully kiss people in real life.
