This might sound familiar. Your two favorite characters are finally alone, and the conditions are perfect for a romantic embrace. But just as they go in for the smooch, some unfortunately timed distraction gets in their way.

The video above pulls not-quite-kisses from 40 famous films, and will leave you desperately wanting more.

1. 1. "You Just Don't Get It, Do You?"

   A study in misunderstandings.

2. 2. "It's Gonna Blow"

   Knowing something is going to explode isn't as helpful as you would think.

3. 3. "I Can Explain"

   If you have to say it, you probably won't be given the chance to explain.

4. 4. Phone Numbers Beginning With 555

   I guess this means you should be suspicious if you ask for someone's number and they rattle off "triple five."

   The answer, most of the time, is yes.

6. 6. "Shut Up"

   Famous "shut ups," often featuring a few colorful additional words.

   Does it make you as excited as him?

   A little unnerving, right?

10. 10. "We're Not So Different, You and I"

    Lies.

    Seems reductive, but all these characters are pretty convinced.

    Everyone really needs to stop making dramatic speeches in the middle of the road.

13. 13. "You Can't Park Here"

    A supercut of people laying down the parking laws, and others completely ignoring them.
