Zorg & Betty from Betty Blue

Ok it's depressing & grim but utterly compelling.

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.

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

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
