Zorg & Betty from Betty Blue

Ok it's depressing & grim but utterly compelling.

That's what I was gonna say!

Oh, Westley...

I also love Christian & Satine from Moulin Rouge.

Oscar and Lucinda.
Which is both the title and the characters. It's odd, but beautiful.

Science of Sleep, Stephane and Stephanie. Awkward, odd, and you're not quite sure what just happened, but adorable.

though it's tv, Oz and Willow will always be my favourite couple..from Buffy. Also Zoe and Wash from Firefly while we're at it. You go Joss.

there's no way i can pick one. and, these are definitely not my best picks. i'm way out of it today

heathers
phantom of the opera
romeo and juliet - cliche but i love it.

Oh, Joss...

Willow & Oz ... Willow & Tara ... Xander & Anya ... Xander & Willow ... Buffy & Angel ... Wash & Zoe ... Mal & Inara ... Kaylee & Simon ... (Jayne & his guns

Basically, Joss knows characters and man can he tug on our heartstrings!!!

Amelie and Nino! Glory.

This may seem like an odd one, but Larry and Althea in The People VS. Larry Flynt. Always makes me cry.

That was just a satisfying-family-expectations thing... Like, his mom made the hat,
so he had to wear it...

Jayne & Vera... Now that was true love...

&tracee · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2010, 10:27:57 PM »

Couldn't decide, so these were the couples I was torn over:

Corben Dallas & Leeloo - 5th Element
Mr. Grey & Lee Holloway - Secretary
Lucious Hunt & Ivy Walker - The Village
Prince Lir & Lady Amalthea - The Last Unicorn

The warm fuzzy feeling generated by Jayne's love for Vera was marred for me when he callously tried to trade her for Saffron. The cad.

He was just confused... It happens to us guys when biology
and psychology try to interact... and it's entirely understandable.

I mean, have you seen that woman?

Satine and Christian from Moulin Rouge! Best cinematic romance story ever! Love is suffering, suffering is pain and pain is love.

Zorg & Betty just edge it but Sailor & Lula were great.

I would also add Young Goon & Il Soon from I'm A Cyborg But That's Ok
