Romantic comedies, melodramas and tearjerkers are filled with unforgettable kisses, but these ten hot chick flick kisses are some of the most passionate and iconic on-screen kisses ever to come out of Hollywood. Unlike female characters in chick flicks of the earlier 20th century, that swooned for their men, the women in these films often initiate the action and confidently express their sexuality. These ten hot chick flick kisses feature strong and sexy women that are much more than objects of lust and desire.

#10: “Twilight” “Bella” (Kristen Stewart) persists that her vampire boyfriend Edward (Robert Pattinson) change her into a vampire. As they dance in a surreal, glowing gazebo, he prepares to bite her neck, and in so doing take her life and soul. At the last second, he fakes her out and kisses her instead. This is a classic hot chick flick moment.

Razzie Award voters slobber over Robert Pattinson so often that it’s almost impossible to imagine they won’t pour it on for “Water for Elephants.”

RPattz has been nominated three times over the last two years, but, alas, mysteriously, he keeps losing. When he was nominated for worst actor of 2010, he got trounced by Ashton Kutcher (“Valentine’s Day,” “Killers”). The previous year, when Pattinson was up for worst supporting actor for “Twilight: New Moon,” he got beat by Billy Ray Cyrus (“Hannah Montana: The Movie”). He and Kristen Stewart lost worst screen couple that year to Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper (“All About Steve”).

This year, Pattinson has a new “Twilight” installment due out –- “Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ –- that could result in his next Razzie nom, but he sometimes earns bids for two films at once -– like last year when he was nommed for both “Twilight: Eclipse” and “Remember Me.”

Arguably, RPattz doesn’t deserve to be nominated for “Water for Elephants,” which scores a respectable 54 at Metacritic. The film even received a socko review from Variety, which hailed it as “a splendid period swooner that delivers classic romance and an indelible insider’s view of 1930s circus life.” The L.A. Times enjoyed it too, but added a caveat: “There is quite a bit to enjoy in a film that certainly qualifies as broad-based popular entertainment. But because the ingredients are so promising, there hangs over this serviceable project the wish that it had turned out better still.”

However, “Water for Elephants” was panned by the New York Post, Time magazine and the Wall Street Journal. Salon blamed Pattinson for “glowering” too much, but the New York Times noted, “Mr. Pattinson is only partly to blame for the fatuity of a character who even in the novel is really a generic male ingénue with no personality.”

To a large degree, RPattz gets picked on by Razzie voters just because he’s a heartthrob, like recent champs Hayden Christensen and the Jonas Brothers. Surely, that means he’ll “win” someday soon.
