The first onscreen kiss was captured in 1896 by the Edison Co. in “The May Irwin — John C. Rice Kiss,” showing a couple kissing and talking. They were dressed formally, and he sported a large mustache. Audiences were scandalized.”The spectacle of their prolonged pasturing on each other’s lips was hard to bear,” fumed publisher Herbert S. Stone in a review. “Such things call for police interference.” Warhol’s 1963 film Kiss is a 54 minute long view of different couples kissing.

I would suggest starting here, and then exploring more here, and then keep reading his lovely blog.
