Top "classic" couples

This list is reserved for our classic couples as there will be a list of favourite strange couples later. First of all, we have a tie for the first place between three couples. We love all of them equally. What is similar in all the three is that every time you watch the films/series, you discover something new about their relationship, which is why we had to call it a tie. 

1. Lizzy and Mr. Darcy from Pride&Prejudice (you know which one). You probably don't want any couple to end up together more than these two. We love their dynamics - they bring out qualities in each other that no other character in the show can. 

1. Princess Leia and Han Solo from The Star Wars-trilogy. Two of our favourite #2's = #1 couple. The picture should tell you better than we ever could why we love them so much.

1. Miss Kubelik and Mr. Baxter from The Apartment. This has a rather different atmosphere from the energy of the previous two couples. It's not a verbal competition between them. We love the fact that there IS no conflict, but instead it focuses on the aspect of unconditional love and care you show for the other person.

4. Beatrice and Benedick from Much Ado About Nothing. This is the one that started the whole bickering couple - cliche. Except it's good. They both are bitter about their relationship having gone sour and they bicker because they are still in love with each other. But mainly why we love this one so much is the fact that the man actually listens to the woman he claims to love and believes her. There ain't no mansplaining or belittling her. And lest we forget, this was written by a man in the 1500's, so that in itself is already pretty irregular. Plus the two leads' witty wordplay is truly music to one's ears. 

 

5. Miss Novak and Mr. Kralik from The Shop Around the Corner. Let's just say we're really into quarreling. This couple came way before the lame modern day love/hate trend in rom-coms. Plus it's a million times better. Again, their personalities play each other off brilliantly. Mr. Kralik is a realist and a workaholic and Miss Novak is a complete romantic with some very unrealistic expectations. 

6. Michael and Linda from The Deer Hunter. This is a lot like Miss Kubelik and Mr. Baxter as it has the same aspect of always finding something new to analyse in their interaction (and since Linda is equally as sensitive as Miss K). The fact that we probably love the most about them is that although Linda is so vulnerable Michael never uses that to his advantage, even when he could. 

7. Belle and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. This is the classic Disney couple. They're equals in every respect as they both are fully developed characters. And their disputes are simply golden.

8. Iris and Gilbert from The Lady Vanishes. They would probably produce the best teamwork out of all the others on this list. They're a classic Christie-like male/female detective team. Gilbert's cheekiness plays off perfectly with Iris' English decorum.

9. Susan and David from Bringing Up Baby. Where Iris and Gilbert make a fantastic team, the collaboration of Susan and David is the most catastrophic and dysfunctional one could imagine. They're absolutely the most hilarious couple to watch. As David is utterly clueless to anything happening in his vicinity and Susan does whatever pops into her head, it's not a surprise that their relationship is like an extended episode of Frasier. 

10. Angela and Rocky from Love with the Proper Stranger. This almost belongs to the strangest couples as the romance isn't exactly conventional. But it's just so real though. Their interaction is very realistic, you don't doubt what they have for a second. This couple's dynamics is something you wouldn't normally find from a regular romantic film.
