29 of the hottest movies and TV moments of this year

This has been a pretty great year for on-screen romance! This year's most romantic scenes on TV and film have seen it all, from sweet and adorable first kisses to long-simmering slow burns to scenes that seriously fogged up our screens. Whether they blew us away on the big screen or turned up the heat on TV, these sexy, romantic scenes made hearts flutter or just inspired a chorus of "awwww".

Some of the best romantic scenes of the year introduced us to new couples we didn't even realize we needed until now, while others were the very satisfying culmination of several years of sexual tension. Either way, they're incredible examples of why on-screen chemistry is so important, and they were some of 2022's most unforgettable moments in pop culture. That's why we celebrate these scenes at the end of the year! From sweet and cozy moments to scenes so hot they'll melt your screens (and in no particular order), here are some of our favorite romantic moments from TV and film in 2022.
