Sure, celebrities have their own spouses at home, but there’s a certain je ne sais quoi that actors and actresses render to the big screen, when they’re coupled together. A movie couple can leave us cheering for love and/or re-evaluating our own romantic relationships. And – if paired correctly – the image of a movie couple can live in our minds for a lifetime. For that reason, we’ve decided to nominate some of the best on-screen couples in movies we love, and allow you to either vote, or add to the list.
