This video compilation from Screen Bites showcases memorable 'almost-kiss' moments from popular romantic films and TV series, including Fifty Shades of Grey, The Office, Suits, Notting Hill, The Boy Next Door, and The Change-Up. These scenes demonstrate how romantic narratives often build tension through near-misses, where characters experience intense emotional connection but are prevented from consummating their feelings by external circumstances, character insecurities, or dramatic plot developments. The compilation illustrates how filmmakers use these moments to create emotional engagement and anticipation in romantic storytelling.

Coke, water, some disgusting sugary drink pretending to have something to do with fruits of the forest.
