My thoughts: Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this film, but I don't know that these two have amazinggg chemistry. I've always felt that they look too similar – like, that's a lot of blonde for one couple. That being said, I think this scene being as great as it is comes down to a combination of several things.
The rain, the drama, a nostalgic and exciting incarnation of American high school life, and a FANTASTIC song. The kiss is good, and they are both beautiful people, but it's all of those things together that make it so brilliant. Plus, they ended a drought! 8.5/10
