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.

facebook is like the worst book I've ever read. the characters do not evolve one bit and the plot is going nowhere.

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.
