The title says it all 😛

My favorite (at the moment, changes all the time)

I am not saying it's their best kiss, but it's just so sweet. Aw it warms my heart.

My least favorite

Maybe it's just me, but David/Angel makes some creepy facial expressions during this scene. It also doesn't help that in the beginning of their kiss he opened his eyes 😱
 
Don't sue me for posting on here. I have a right to have a favorite and a least favorite.

Favorite: The Beach, I Will Remember You
It's a movie kiss, no doubt about it. The drama and build up and the no explanation, along with the sheer passion, it's one for the ages.

Least Favorite: The Cemetery, Forever
It's not that I don't like Angel coming back to comfort Buffy. It's sweet. I just don't see kissing as the best way to grieve. It takes the attention away from Joyce's death.

I liked the Forever kiss because it was the man Joyce drove away from her daughter who helped her survive losing her mom
I thought that the Enemies post date kiss should've been steamier considering the context of it. Angel & Buffy are going crazy with the sexual tension, everything ends up bringing them back to sex (talking, Chi, sparring), so Angel invites Buffy out to the movies because it's a fun chaste thing to do together and it ends up being an erotic film and they're too mortified to leave so just sit there in the dark for 1-3 hours watching & hearing people on the big screen having sex and just thinking how badly they want to do those things to each other.

Sidenote: there should be a Bangel fic called Cold Showers & Kimonos
 
I agree and disagree. Like it would make more sense that they wouldn't be able to control themselves, but Angel wanted to proof that he could indeed control himself.

ANGEL
(smiling)
I don't need to see movies to get
worked up. Just being around you does
that just fine. It doesn't mean I'm
gonna lose control. Or that I'm only
frustrated around you. It feels nice just
to feel.


BUFFY
It doesn't drive you crazy? Even when
we're... close?

ANGEL
Watch this.

He kisses her.

ANGEL (cont'd)

See? Safe as houses.

His point wouldn't have really come across if he gave her the steamiest kiss ever. Would have been quite the scene though 😛
 
Favorite basically changes on the day of the week you ask me. But today I'm going to go with:

Even the ring kiss is perfection since it's basically his wedding ring showing he "belongs" to her

''because it's not on the mouth'' - I can't XD
I'm not going to post pictures and some of the kisses are already in here as pictures anyway.

Favorite: I have 2 and I'm not picking between them. The IWRY kiss in the sunlight because hello, symbolism. The other one is EoD/Chosen because of the huge nostalgia it brings me every time. Old Buffy is back even if it's just for 2 minutes. The Buffy that quips and who can have a real and honest smile on her face. How many years has it been since we have seen that Buffy? 🙁

Least Favorite: The one in 'Bad Eggs' where the Gorge brothers are watching them. What's with the pecking? Just weird. And what was up with the turned up volume on kissing noises that whole Season (for all couples)? Yikes.

PS: The one from Surprise that the OP listed is also a contender for worst IMO.

I love that whole make out sesh. I like how he grabs her and pulls her back as she is walking away and kisses her. It’s the last time in a very long while that we will get to see him have no restraint/ no hesitation with her because after he comes back it’s all “we can’t get too close”. The next time Angel shows that much reckless abandon with a kiss is IWRY sunlight pier kiss. No curse no problemo.

Ugh I mean I’m NOT going to cheat. I hate the no edit rule bleh.
 
No, the Surprise one where they're just going at it repeatedly is one of the best (also, nice understated innuendo with the "hard"!). DB also just looks glorious in that white undershirt. It's got a ton of passion, a glorious lack of restraint and not awkward at all (huh?). I also ADORE all the kisses in Bad Eggs (the window is one of the most sweet and adorable--and one of the smiliest), but especially the one that comes after the can't-have-kids talk and the "In loving memory" tombstone. That scene just has a lot of important things going on, in general, plus huge doses of foreshadowing. These episodes are also a bit more sexually-charged, but in a less 'we need to stop' way, given what they're leading up to.

But my favorites are at the end of Surprise on the bed (best closeup and I love watching the angling of noses and tender lip movements--there's a bit of tongue if you watch closely--DB snuck in his tongue both here and in the first kiss), the game face kiss at the ice rink (I completely adore that she kissed him in game face, find it an incredible show of her love with his constant fear of rejection and this might make it my favorite) in What's My Line? and the oh-so-sad kissing in Becoming, pt. 2. I'm an angst girl and these push all the right buttons for my little, Angel-loving, black heart.

The most 'meh' is probably... The End of Days/Chosen. It's the most alive SMG has looked in ages, but it pales. The best part of the scene isn't the kiss, but the basking with smiles. It's also heavily from a back shot where you can't even see the actors. And then there's Spike, the First and jealous pettiness. Blah. I actually love the scene, but the rest just all were better. Forever is sweet and comforting, but it's kissing at a weird body angle. SMG is usually pretty handsy with the back of DB's hair and shoulders, so this is one of her less exploratory makeout sessions.

Season 3 has a lot of delicious sexual tension (seeing how easily DB catches SMG when she jumps up on him with her legs wrapped always gives me the warm fuzzies--and they do it twice!), but the Sun Cinema kiss is actually one of the lesser kisses. For a kiss Faith thought was "lust bunnies", that's one of the more understated. The Amends dream sequence is one of the hotter ones and I love the shot of Angel's hands on Buffy's back (I love how big his hands are compared to her tinyness). Given that SMG had a no-nudity clause, this was actually as uncovered as she ever got (people would hardly guess it would be a Bangel scene where she showed the most skin!). Funny story, but SMG sewed the button holes so DB would have to struggle to open up her pajama top!

As for my favorite non-lips kiss... The shoulder kiss in Becoming, pt. 2. I like angst. DB just has a really sweet, sad, teary face in that moment that I love in that moment. Though the forehead kiss with her in bed in Earshot is just the sweetest thing, too.

I don't have a problem with first 2 kisses in Angel's apartment. Just the one against the door. Just saying...

Guys they are all good. K? K. 😛
No. *crosses arms and huffs*

Lol, I thought you were basically joking that he was Angelus, because he didn't kiss her on the mouth, d'oh! This is what happens when you don't get enough sleep kids 😕
 
Same as @RomanticSoul , I love the scene as a whole. Especially the passion between them, but the one against the door doesn't really work for me.
 
Well, it's one of my favorites. Hrumph.

It's legitimately one of the hottest and one of the rare few times they're really just free to act on want without knowing they can't. I really have a soft spot for that innocence both of them had. And SMG just loved putting her hands all over DB! Bonus points for it being at Angel's apartment, which I love.

I actually prefer the neck kissing in that surprise scene than the actual kisses on the lips. But I have a soft spot for kisses that aren’t on the lips (I do love those too!).

I had not posted in this thread yet because I find it almost impossible to pick a least favorite and even more impossible to pick a least fav. But I guess the Enemies one? It’s a bit forgettable but I still love it. And for favorite I’d say the « there’s not enough time » kiss from IWRY but my answer changes daily. I have a top 6/7 and my favorite tends to alternate between those.
