Wow, I just realized that most of the couples I’ve listed are really dysfunctional.
There are still many more film couples I love. Too many to list.

Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee probably made more movies together than all the above combined.
Just because they didn’t get all mushy with each other shoouldn’t disqualify them …

As all the Tony Leung permutations have been listed, I’ll throw in George Clooney and JLo in Out of Sight. Not a particular fan of either of them, but they were great and classy together in that film.
And of course Bogart and Bacall in, erm, you know …. that film.
