Line 149:
* ''[[The Avengers (1998 film)|The Avengers 1998]]''. While Steed is helping Emma Peel on with her boots, they are close to kissing when Father breaks in and arrests Mrs. Peel.
* ''[[The Brothers Grimm (film)|The Brothers Grimm]]'' has an interesting variation. Jacob uses [[True Love's Kiss]] to wake Angelika and break the spell. When he sees that his brother Will hasn't woken up, he assumes that he needs to do the same to him. He gets ''very'' close and apparently would have actually kissed him if Will hadn't said, "Not. You."
* Harry and Ginny have an almost-kiss in ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'', interrupted by a Death Eater attack.
* After Indiana Jones and Marion survive a [[Death Trap]] in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]'', they lean on each other for a reunion kiss (all the danger and "[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|They weren't you]]" compensating the "abandoning her at the altar")... and Mutt comes out of the water putting armor on Indy's arms.
* Tina and Stanley twice in ''[[The Mask (film)|The Mask]]''. The police were the spoilsports each time.
Line 210:
* A [[Running Gag]] in SM:TV Live's ''[[Friends]]'' parody ''Chums'': Dec and Cat are always interrupted when they are about to kiss by the doorbell.
* Watch the gag reel for ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', if anyone forgets their line and ends up just staring they will start moving in.
* ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' in the episode "Objects in Space": It's taken [[The Stoic|Simon]] and [[Genki Girl|Kaylee]] [[Will They or Won't They?|the whole series]] to reach that moment. They're having a heart-to-heart. They're [[Held Gaze|staring]] into each other's eyes. They're inching closer. His hand starts to reach out to caress her cheek. They lean in for the kiss. [[Moment Killer|And then Book walks into them]].
{{quote|'''[[DVD Commentary|Joss Whedon]]:''' Oh, thank you very much, Book. Way to ruin the kiss!}}
* Played darkly and subtlely in ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]''. Guy of Gisborne has just proposed to Marian and been accepted. He moves in for a kiss, but she looks tearful and uncertain, and both turn their heads away fractionally. (Reasons being that he's just threatened her with execution after accusing her of being in cahoots with Robin over a missing necklace. She proves him wrong by producing it - Robin has just passed it to her through the window, and is privy to everything that goes on inside the room).
Line 260:
* Lampshaded by Thalia in ''[[Thalia's Musings]]'' [http://thaliasmusingsnovels.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/1-7-please-be-seated/ as it happens to her and Apollo].
{{quote|"The Almost Kiss. Such a classic trope in romantic comedy. The concept I am about to reveal to you may be beyond your mortal comprehension, so listen carefully: ''Romantic Comedy'' is what happens when my domain and [[Moment Killer|Aphrodite’s]] intersect. The fact that she and I have never gotten along terribly well is the reason works in this genre so often fail at being either romantic or comical." }}
* Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long of ''[[RWBY]]'' come within inches when they're reunited in episode 10 of volume 8. (They finally get past "almost" in the middle of volume 9.)
