Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater (Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet) in Titanic (1997)Apart from Leonardo's "I'm king of the world" and Kate's "I'm flying", "I've never let go" is probably next most recognised line that got the tear ducts working overtime as the hero sacrifices his life to save the woman he loves. The iconic star-crossed lovers pose in the movie poster (which some say was replicated for Brokeback Mountain), the famous and steamy love scene in the car, and the nude portrait featuring one really big... Heart of the Ocean necklace on Kate - all the ingredients for one of the most enduring love stories in modern day since Romeo and Juliet, which, hey, Leo was in too.
Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) in Brokeback Mountain (2005)Love is love, regardless of gender. The passionate - and violate - affair between a ranch hand and a cowboy in America's West was not only heartfelt but heartbreaking. It's less a gay cowboy flick than it is a simply and powerful love story of two individuals who try to curb their emotions and conform to society. And Ang Lee's Oscar-winning (Best Director) film also spawned the outburst, "I can't quit you!"
John and Jane Smith (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)The chemistry was so sizzling on the screen, it even (allegedly) burnt the marriage of golden couple Brad and Jennifer Aniston off the screen, and propelled the Jolie-Pitts into one of the most followed celeb marriages in Hollywood to date. Add in the gun fights, steamy kisses and the fact they're both assassins with plenty of witticisms, and you've got a movie that's equally smart and sexy.
Edward Cullen and Bella Swann (Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart) in the Twilight (2008) seriesDoes this pair even need an introduction? No one is spared from this reel - and now officially, real - couple from the bestselling series of teen vampire novels and their celluloid adaptations. Anyone (mostly female) from eight to 80 have swooned over the pale, chiseled beauty of Edward and wished they could take over Bella's place. We just think that this pair look really compatible with their similarly disheveled hair and intense (though sleepy-looking) eyes. Not that what we think matters.
Jake Sully and Neytiri (Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana) in Avatar (2009)Even if they're blue and belong to the planet Na'vi, they can still be in love. Sure, the plot in Avatar's pretty contrived but there's little argue against a love blossoming between a disillusioned, foreign soldier and the beautiful native (alien) girl who teaches him about life and nature. And never have the words 'I see you' sounded more romantic.
