Top Ten: Couples

29th Jan 2010

Every­one loves a roman­tic story. Watch­ing two peo­ple fall in love on-screen gives you a warm feel­ing inside. How­ever, Hitch, Maid in Man­hat­tan: they’re not exam­ples of true love. I think with true love you have to over­come chal­lenges and risks and prove you’re meant to be together. There­fore this is a list made up of cou­ples who have fought for their love and have proved their wor­thi­ness. Sadly, Rosie and Alex’s famous love/hate rela­tion­ship didn’t make the list.

10.) Jamal and Latika (Slum­dog Mil­lion­aire)

2008’s most famous cou­ple. Grow­ing up in the Indian slums together but cru­elly sep­a­rated, Jamal enters ‘Who Wants To Be A Mil­lion­aire’ to find her.

9.) King Kong and Ann (King Kong)

Yes he’s a gorilla, she’s a human and he’s a ter­ri­fy­ing mon­ster. But the way they look at each other, you just know it’s real love.

8.) Jerry and Holly (P.S. I Love You)

Know­ing he’s going to die, Jerry writes Holly a series of let­ters for her to read after he’s gone so that she can move on. A true gentleman.

7.) Sam and Josie (Never Been Kissed)

She’s a 25 year old geek who’s never been kissed. As an under­cover reporter in a school, she falls for her teacher and he gives her her first kiss.

6.) For­rest and Jenny (For­rest Gump)

Adorable For­rest has a love for Jenny that spans decades. Even­tu­ally Jenny ends up mar­ry­ing him and hav­ing his child – cue tragic ending.

5.) Wall-E and Eve (Wall-E)

Who knew that two robots could be one of the most roman­tic cou­ples of all time? Just hear­ing ‘Eeeeeeeev-aaa!’ restores all faith in romance.

4.) Henry and Lucy (50 First Dates)

Lucy suf­fers from short-term mem­ory loss, mean­ing Henry has to win her over every sin­gle day-show me another man with that kind of dedication.

3.) Jack and Rose (Titanic)

Two peo­ple from com­pletely dif­fer­ent sides of soci­ety meet on the doomed Titanic, pro­vid­ing the infa­mous line, ‘I’ll never let go Jack.’

2.) Edward and Bella (Twi­light)

Of course these two had to make an appear­ance. Per­haps the most famous cou­ple of the past few years: a human in love with an immor­tal vampire

1.) Noah and Allie (The Note­book)

Allie suf­fers from mem­ory loss and Noah reads the story of their love every day to her. In her youth Allie went against her fam­ily to marry the man she loved. Can you get any more romantic?
