In time for Valentine's Day:

Top 10 Cutest Couples that I could think of off the top of my head:


10: Kim Cattrall and Kurt Russell Big Trouble in Little China

A fun, snarky couple in a fun, snarky movie. Sprinkle on some Kung Fu for extra flavor. Kurt Russell and Dennis Dun make a cute twosome, too.

9: Ron Livingston and Damian Lewis Band of Brothers

Especially Episode 10, where Nixon offers Winters a peace time job at his father's plant. Simply adorable.

8: Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett Strange Days

Her brawn and his brain. I wish more movies had this kind of spark between the leads.

7: Christian Bale and Emily Watson Equilibrium

As with 8. the scene where they barely touched fingertips had more electricity than some all-out naked pretzel sex scenes I've seen.

6: Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas Strange Brew

I don't think I have to defend this one.

5: Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer Pulp Fiction

Nor this one.

4: Tim Roth and Gary Oldman Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Both of these guys play Evil Bad Guys so much, it was a shock to see them play such sweet, goofball losers. And they are adorable together.

3: James Marsters and Sarah Michelle Gellar Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I should also mention David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson here. The chemistry of both of these couples added a strong layer to both of their respective series. Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisoff make an awful cute real-life couple enough to deserve honorable mention.

2: Chow Yun-Fat and Danny Lee The Killer

This movie has been celebrated for its homoerotic undertones, almost to the same point as the Lord of the Rings (which I left off the list for being too obvious). Still, thier relationship is wonderfully poignant.

1: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Dogma

Lots of jokes about these two have all ready been made. I'm not joking though, I think they do their most watchable work opposite each other. Good Will Hunting and Jay and Silent Bob deserve mention here as well.
