Most beautiful onscreen couples of all time

Who was the prettiest R&J (or R&J protoypes), DL?

This one's too easy:

No comment needed.

R3 oh yes

Peach perfect.

I must be the only person that doesn’t find Armie Hammer all that hot.

And poor Joan Fontaine dealt with so much hate for starring with Belafonte

Campbell Scott and Julia Roberts from "Dying Young" (1991)

....

Thread Closed!

Hugh Grant with Andie MacDowell in "Four Weddings and a Funeral"

Albert Finley and Audrey Hepburn in Two for the Road

Hugh Grant and James Wilby in "Maurice"

Young Elvis with Ann Margret

R6 Yes, you're right:

[quote] Joan Fontaine received hundreds of hate letters, containing dimes and quarters, which read, "If you're so hard up that you have to work with a nigger..." They were post-marked from various parts of the country but they seemed to be dictated by one organization, as many of the phrases were identical.

R12.

Fredric March & Gary Cooper

in Noel Coward's Design for Living

Michael York and Anthony Higgins in "Something for Everyone" (1970)

The motto of my life is from" Something for Everyone," Angie Lansbury plays an impoverished German Countess who has seen better times. She refuses to face reality. She observes: "They tell us to adapt. A rat adapts; an eagle just sits in its cage and glares." How true.

Mr and Mrs smith

Daniel Day Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer in Age Of Innocence.

Peter Capaldi and Michael Maloney in "Mr. Wakefield's Crusade"

Benji the Hunted and partner

Instead, I offer this

Daniel Day Lewis and Gordon Warnecke in "My Beautiful Laundrette"

Harry and Dorothy Dandridge in CARMEN JONES...they were en fuego onscreen.

Enough nonsense.

Alain Delon et Romy Schneider dans [italic]La piscine[/italic].

Ben Whishaw and Edward Holcroft

Catherine Deneuve et Nino Castelnuovo dans [italic]Les parapluies de Cherbourg[/italic].

Julie Christie & Omar Sharif

Hepburn & Grant

Did Belafonte and Fontaine even touch each other in the movie? There was so much restraint that I thought the characters were friends.

R59, the producers were afraid to allow them to touch. Dorothy Dandridge and John Justin didn't touch either. All of the leads received hate mail too. The movie was a bit of a misfire as a result.

Merle Oberon and Cornel Wilde...Cornel made everyone look pretty

Best evah... R28!

DesiLu

'nough said

Mickey and Kim

CLASSIC

pic for R44

Pic for R32

Milo & Otis

The movie is far from being a classic, but they had chemestry together

Agreed r44, but it’s hard to argue with r3 as well...

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in Speed.

The lads from Come Undone.

Photo for [R38]

No female pairings mentioned yet?

Valli and Gregory Peck in The Paradine Case. Beautiful couple but an awful film.

Jon Kortajarena and Colin Firth in A Single Man

Nicholas Hoult and Colin Firth in A Single Man

Thread really truly eternally closed.

Robert Redford and Ba........ oh, never mind.

If that means something to you, r80, then post one...

girls girls girls

I keep scrolling back up to Paul and Bob. Damn. That is all.

Diane Lane and Raoul Bova in "Under the Tuscan Sun"

Hedy Lamarr and Robert Taylor in "Lady of the Tropics."

Kinda cute: young Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Blondell in Night Nurse (1931)

Ava Gardner and Gregory Peck in "The Great Sinner."

Excellent example R87.

And now, for something more frivolous, may I offer Brigitte Bardot with Claudia Cardinale ?

That movie also the cat fight to end all catfights.

R92 beat me to it, but I’ll add Ava and Gregory in On the Beach.

Lust On The Beach

Fay Wray and King Kong.

Cary Elwes and Robin Wright

Jessica Lange and King Kong.

R56 wins

[quote] Gina Gershon and Meg Tilly in Bound

Oh, dear!

Colin Farrell and Jared Leto , Alexander

Boris & Elsa

Nobody beats these 2.

To Catch A Thief

Cory Michael Smith and Robin Lord Taylor in Gotham

Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable

Don and Betty Draper

Andie MacDowell and James Spader in "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" (1989)

LOVE TRIANGLE :(

Tyrone Power and Loretta Young - they starred in 4 or 5 movies together.

"Who was the prettiest R&J (or R&J protoypes), DL?"

Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey, hands down. Both were astonishingly beautiful.

Warren Beatty and Fay Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde.

Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, partners in mischief

Paul Newman and Jean Simmons in "Until They Sail. "

Brando and Leigh in Streetcar.

[quote] "Who was the prettiest R&J (or R&J protoypes), DL?" Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey, hands down. Both were astonishingly beautiful.

Whiting's looks didn't last long, he only had that one famous movie.

IMO, it has to be Tyrone Power and Loretta Young or anyone who starred opposite of him. He also costarred with Gene Tierney.

"Vivien Leigh with Leslie Howard in "Gone With The Wind"

You must have meant Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable in "Gone With The Wind." Howard is bland as toast whereas Gable was the proverbial tall, dark and handsome.

Jean-Paul & Jean

R119 Wins

Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald in "Pretty in Pink"

I couldn't post the link, but Anthony Andrews and Jeremy Irons in Brideshead Revisited.

La Dolce Vita: Marcello Mastroianni & Anita Ekberg

Paul and Robert in The Sting.

Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald? You've got to be kidding. Both are at best average looking.

R136, Marcello and Deneuve were in a couple films together.

Christopher Lambert and Andie MacDowell in "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes" (1984)

Robert Redford can bring me a bouquet of roses anytime.

Eva and Eddie

River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves

Horst Buchholz and Elke Sommer

Frank & Rocky

Jason & Freddy

Julie Christie and Omar Shariff were ethereal in Dr. Zhivago

She was at the height of her beauty, and he was so exotic and charming. The camera loved them both.

That's not Julie Christie in the photo, btw. Here's a better one. I loved that movie.

Tom Cruise and Paul Newman (The Colour of Money).

Brad Pitt and Julia Ormond in Legends of the Fall

Some of you, like R158, do not understand the question. It's NOT about good screen couples, it's about BEAUTIFUL screen couples. No fucking was Tracy and Hepburn or Streisand and Omar Sharif belong anywhere near this list.

Joan Fontaine and Louis Jourdan In LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN.

Her cheekbones! His eyes!

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in Interview with the Vamire

James Garner and Julie Andrews, not beautiful but pretty. This is from Americanization of Emily, which, incidentally, is on TCM this afternoon.

R203, are you fucking kidding me? Omar Sharif bedded most of those Hollywood women you cite as beyond him in beauty. Bitch, that man was beautiful!

Ava and Gregory in THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO

R207 is unable to understand my comment. Sharif AND STREISAND and not a beautiful screen COUPLE, imbecile.

Thanks for the cunty clarification, R209. I wouldn't put Streisand into any 'beautiful' couple or singles list, so I overlooked your AND and took it to mean those individual people within any coupling.

I'll comprehend better I will!

And from two of the greatest weepers of all time:

Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor in "Waterloo Bridge"

Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison in "The Ghost and Mrs Muir" - with that gorgeous score by Bernard Herrmann in the background.

Are we including tv shows?? Because....

They were beautiful in everything, even dressed like they were on their way to The TSC for a bag of deer corn.

Ming Na Wen & Wesley Snipes

Joan Fontaine was beautiful all right but two things about her always bothered me - one was her terrible posture (which can also be seen in OP's pic) and the other were her crazy eyebrows which seemed to have a mind of their own - she often emoted by simply twitching them in her films.

Joan Chen and John Lone

Meagan Tandy & Tyler Hoechlin

Beautiful ladies..

Holden hit the wall early and hard before he did Picnic, R158. He was at peak hotness in Sabrina along with Audrey Hepburn. They should have ended up together, not Bogart. I read once it was like watching the romantic awakening of Bob Dole and I've never been able to get that image out of my head since.

Vladimir Ivashov and Zhanna Prokhorenko in Ballad of a Soldier.

🎵Somebody Saaaaave Me🎵

Timothée and Armand bien sûr

I Dream Of Genie

Mother Hart and George Hamilton in 'Where The Boys Are'

Vincent Perez and Isabelle Adjani in La Reine Margot

Cahterine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuevo in The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg

Joel McCrea and Barbara Stanwyck...McCrea was another underused pretty boy...

Stephane Rideau and Jeremie Elkaim - Presque Rien / Come Undone

Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour were gorgeous together in Somewhere in Time.

Shane West & Maggie Q in Nikita

On the TV screen, no one beats Maddie and David.

Elio and Oliver

Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist in Remington Steele

Sara Montiel y Jorge Mistral en "Carmen, la de ronda"

yup.

Spencer Tracey and Katherine Hepburn. The most beautiful if all screens couples.

I know that technically Joan Fontaine was pretty but I just don't find her pretty. I think her face is hard, undistinguished, and a little bit manly. She's got all the photogenic requisites but IMO nothing special and kind of unmemorable.

Bette Davis was never "beautiful." Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray were not a beautiful couple. And Barbra Streisand was by no stretch of the imagination beautiful. This thread is about BEAUTIFUL couples. I think some of you must have serious vision problems.

François Delaive and Martial Jacques in "La Petite Mort"

R237 = Dame Olivia

They both reached peak beauty at the same moment.

Nancy Kwan and William Holden in The World of Suzie Wong

Am I the only one who never found Rachel Ward attractive? Even in that pic at R241 there's nothing stunning about her looks (and the horrible hairdo sure isn't helping).

Yummy pair.

Rachel Ward may not have a conventionaly beautiful face r243, but her body was an absolute work of art.

If you feel that way, R236, you might want to learn how to spell their names.

Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal.

Lange and Bridges

248 replies and no Brando love? WTF?

Paul Newman and James Dean in 'Screen Test'

James Bond and Pussy Galore

Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider in Last Tango in Paris

Another mention of Michelle Pfeiffer and Jeff Bridges. They were one of the best-looking couples onscreen.

Eva Mendes and Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico

For pure physical appeal, it's not Hepburn/Tracy, but Hepburn/Grant...patrician overload.

No, not Elio and Oliver...no.

Cary Elwes and Helena Bonham Carter in Lady Jane (1986)

R341 Jeff Bridges was indeed at peak hotness in Against All Odds (1984) but Rachel Ward was more beautiful in The Thorn Birds TV miniseries with Richard Chamberlain.

Catherine Deneuve and other guy in Belle de Jour.

Sometimes it's not just about physical perfection, but the aura, the chemistry said onscreen couples have.

Colin Farrell & Jessica Brown Findley in Winter's Tale

Brando & Eva Marie Saint

Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint in "North by Northwest"

Jean Sorel, r259.

Miss R238 has stated her boundaries, y'all.

David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger

Moi and my Kermie own this thread

...et my Tommy Hiddleston as a side piece

Picnic- Holden and Novak

R266 beat me to it but it also included a younger beautiful Sarandon in their love triangle.

Sidney Poitier and Abbey Lincoln in The Love of Ivy (1968). The movie was mediocre, generally Abbey's singing was not-so-hot imho, But OH WHAT A LOOKER she was!

Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in Blow when Depp was once beautiful.

R266, for chemistry, I'd say Deneuve and Sarandon (before she got wacko, so I can enjoy guilt-free).

This is one gorgeous couple.

She got more beautiful as she got a bit older, R274, there she just looks pretty or maybe it's only in comparison to him.

She was beautiful in Postman.

Speaking of "Postman" - Lana Turner and John Garfield in the original.

Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer in "Ladyhawke".

Joan and her Trog

R276 The Garfield/Turner film was a remake too - Italian film Ossessione is the original one.

Brad and Goops in seven

GOOP's best scene, R280.

Viggo and Gwyneth in A Pefect Murder

Maureen O'Hara and (yes, it must be said) a still ruggedly handsome John Wayne in the incredibly romantic and beautiful film, The Quiet Man.

R282 - I thought the Goopster looked beaky and washed out in A Perfect Murder.

Now, if you want to speak of peak Viggo and Diane Lane in the back of that van in "A Walk on the Moon" . . .

Viggo can make any woman look desirable. Diane Lane and Viggo in A Walk on the Moon.

Viggo and Sandra Bullock in 28 Days

Viggo's always gorgeous, Goop and Sandy are not.

I disagree. Sandra Bullock in the 90s was beautiful and funny. Ask most straight men who they had a crush on (i.e. Chris Evans)-- Sandy.

Young Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem in Jamón Jamón (1989)

Dietrich and Cooper in "Desire."

Bullock has never been beautiful. She's funny, she's girl-next-door pretty and seemingly normal and non-threatening. Of course straight guys had a crush on her, I didn't say she was a repulsive hag. I said she wasn't beautiful.

Now about using Chris Evans as your definition of a straight guy...

Rufus Sewell and Catherine McCormack in "Dangerous Beauty" (1998)...

John Payne and Maureen O'Hara in "Miracle on 34th Street".

Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard in "I Take This Woman."

Coop and Carole with Shirley Temple, "Now and Forever"

Since at least one of their opera performances was videotaped, Franco Corelli and Renata Tebaldi in "La Forza del Destino".

Tina Louise and Aldo Ray in God's Little Acre (1958)

Tab Hunter and Etchika Choreau in "Lafayette Escadrille" (1958)

Tony Scotti and Sharon Tate

Lamarr and Boyer in Algiers

Hanno Koffler und Max Riemelt, "Freier Fall" ("Freefall")

Maxwell & Michelle

Devid Striesow und Sebastian Schipper, Drei (Three)

Sofia and Tab

John Ericson and Pier Angeli in 'Teresa'

Grant and Sophia

Ornella Mutti and Yorgo Voyagis in "I Nuovi Mostri"

Massimo Troisi con Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Il Postino

Guinness and Hayakawa, The Bridge on the River Kwai

Dunaway and Beatty

and Dunaway and Langella

Frank Langella - beautiful?!

I think so - especially when he played Dracula

Days of Heaven.....Sam Shepherd and Richard Gere, both fighting for one unremarkable woman. Their male beauty combined made Terence Malick's picture much more beautiful.

Maybe not most beautiful, but there's a scene in "Captain Blood " where Errol Flynn and Ross Alexander are stripped to the waist and glistening on a slave galley. It's nice.

And Errol and Olivia are dazzling too.

Rachel Ward and Jeff Bridges, Against All Odds.

You know who.

Chance & Johan Paulik from AN AMERICAN IN PRAGUE

R3 still wins.

Belmondo Delon

The winning duo should have Paul Newman in it....

Robert Mitchum and a very young Janet Leigh before she got blonder and harder in "Holiday Affair".

R296 - weeping at someone bringing up Corelli - not muchh personality but oh that face! He filmed a very famous Tosca with the Italian actress Franca Duval lip synching to the voice of Maria Caniglia, who was by then too old to play the role onscreen.

Corelli and Duval made a visual Tosca/Cavaradossi that has never been matched anywhere, ever.

Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor in The Birds

I never thought Joan Fountain, Crawford, Davis, or Katherine Hepburn were pretty. I know they were stars and with good reason but I never really saw their beauty.

Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise 1995

For R315, Errol Flynn and Ross Alexander in Captain Blood (1935)

Olivier Martinez and Juliette Binoche - The Horseman On The Roof

Parker Posey and Omar Townsend in Party Girl

Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery in "Marnie" directed by Alfred Hitchcock, 1964

Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson from The Nanny Diaries

Franco Corelli may not have had a lot of personality, but my what a great voice and handsome man he was! Here he is with Duval. If only he was singing in the real video age, he would have wiped Pavarotti and Domingo from being in practically every video. He and Jose Carreras were prettier.

Timmy and Lassie.

I'll "Mary!" myself in advance, because this love scene between Gary Cooper and Florence Vidor TAKES MY BREATH AWAY. His natural, rugged look must have seemed revolutionary back then.

I like R318.

Harry Belafonte always seemed GAY to me.

Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier in "Wuthering Heights" (sobs).

Jack Lemmon and Joe E. Brown in "Some Like it Hot"

Newman and Taylor

I wonder if, during a scene with her, he ever got hard.

Tab Hunter and Divine

Greta Garbo and John Gilbert in their movies together. Stunning looking, both of them.

Ryan and Ali in Love Story.

Nastassja Kinski and Jodie Foster in HOTEL NEW HAMPSHIRE

Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau in DESERT HEARTS.

Mariel Hemingway and Patrice Donnelly in PERSONAL BEST.

Speaking of Personal Best, Barbara "Seagull" Hershey and a young Scott Glenn in The Baby Maker.

Richard Arlen and Buddy Rogers in Wings

R333, wow......Cooper was stunning.

Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams in Disobedience.

Anne Carlilse & Anne Carlilse in Liquid Sky

Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour - Somewhere in Time

Ben Affleck and Olga Kurylenko in To the Wonder.

You are definitely right about the chemistry between Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve in "The Hunger"! I knew which way my focus was directed when I saw this movie as a young teen.

Closer with Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Jude Law and Natalie Portman. Even though Jude and Natalie were the more exquisite-looking couple, every time Clive Owen and reacted with any of them, his scenes emitted sexual energy.

Harry Hamlin and Judi Bowker in 'Clash of the Titans'

Clive Own was at his most beautiful in Close My Eyes (1991) with Saskia Reeves...

**Owen

Chris and Cross Streisand’s eyes. “Only God or a HMO covered plastic surgeon can make use closer than we already are”, said the star-crossed lovers when interviewed about their unwavering (well Chris does seem to get lazy when Barbra is a little overworked) commitment to each other, no matter how far apart they may seem

Sam Elliott and Anne Archer in Lifeguard

If we're including t.v. couples, I'm going with these two:

Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate about You.

363 replies and no mention of Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford?

William Hurt and Kathleen Turner in Body Heat

yeah, they were hot together.

^^^ the hottest couples onscreen were messing around on set, like R363 and R366.

Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd in Dancing With the Stars All-Stars, Season 15.

Greta Garbo and Robert Montgomery in "Inspiration."

Gaspard Ulliel Emmanuelle Béart - Les Egarés

No mention of the first and ulitmate Bond Girl, Ursual Andress? On the beach in her bikini with Sean Connery in rolled up slacks and short-sleeved sport shirt, leaning against a tree as she emerges from the sea?

Please!

*Ursula

Vanessa Paradis et Daniel Auteuil, La fille sur le pont

Stephane Freiss et Lambert Wilson, Chouans!

On what planet is Daniel Auteuil beautiful?!

The gorgeous Miss Cillian Murphy and Stephen Rea in "Breakfast on Pluto."

R90 Hedy Lamarr and Robert Taylor from the 1939 movie Lady of the Tropics.

Mathieu Carrière and John Fordyce in Gates to Paradise (1968)

The Wolves of Kromer starring James Layton and Lee Williams

Hippolyte Girardot and Emmanuelle Béart in Manon des Sources (1986)

[quote]r364 363 replies and no mention of Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford?

Carrie was a bit unfortunate looking. I'm afraid she doesn't qualify.

Sandra Majani et Hippolyte Girardot, Le parfum d'Yvonne

Lysette Anthony and Anthony Andrews in Ivanhoe

Louis Jourdan and Judi Bowker, Count Dracula (PBS). The scene where she sucks blood from his... chest.

Jean Seberg and Jean Paul Belmondo in Breathless (1960)

Opinions are like a$$holes, and there are a lot of them on this thread...

A lot of opinions?

Paul Walker and Jessica Alba in "Into the Blue"

I disagree with a lot of examples mentioned here, but refrained from commenting, since taste is so individual.

R386 needs to chill. This is not a thread about ONE couple containing Paul Newman. Geez.

Posting Connery and Andress for the lazy AF R371.

Eva Green and Louis Garrel in The Dreamers. Twincest! Honorable mention goes to Parker Posey and Josh Hamilton in The House of Yes.

Ryan & Rachel

[quote]And poor Joan Fontaine dealt with so much hate for starring with Belafonte

Poor Joan? Imagine the shit Belafonte dealt with just for existing period.

Isabelle Adjani in The Story of Adele H. and the then quite handsome Bruce Robinson.

Adjani by herself in just about anything up to a certain point.

R391 - The lazy AF R371 hasn't figured out how to post photo, that's all. But thanks for doing it.

Denise Richards and Casper Van Dien were Barbie-and-Ken beautiful in Starship Troopers.

Jude Law and Ethan Hawke in "Gattaca"

Harriet Andersson and Lars Ekborg in one of Bergman's earlier sixties ones, "Summer with Monika". Bergman admitted having a major thing for Andersson, who looked a bit like a Swedish Jeanne Moreau.

About Last Night with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore. Honorable mention to Nadine with Kim Basinger and Jeff Bridges.

All in all, I would say the already mentioned 9 1/2 weeks owns this thread. The leads were HOT, HOT, HOT.

Nicolas Giroud and Clara Ponsot - Le Soleil Dans Mes Yeux

Juliette Binoche and Daniel Day-Lewis in "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"

Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren in Excalibur. After the movie, they were together for 5 years.

Moritz Bliebtrau and Franka Potente - Run Lola Run

Sabu & Conrad Veidt

R405 That's not Conrad Veidt next to Sabu.

Mayve a weird angle?

Once again, that's not Conrad Veidt - that's John Justin in those pics. This is what Conrad Veidt looked like in that film:

Christophe Lambert and Isabelle Adjani - Subway

Oh, you're right. All the pics are labeled wrong. How could I forget John Justin?

R405 - R406 absolutely isn't Veidt, who was far more attractive as the evil magician than John Justin, who was so anaemic looking he could barely lift his sword. It's frankly a testament to suspension of belief that the beautiful June Duprez didn't go off with the wicked magician.

Duprez she is also the beautiful heroine of "The Four Feathers' - her inamorato was the very handsome John Clements. Speaking of beautiful couples.

R213 what movie is that?

R213 - I believe that's "Country" but don't quote me.

Robert Wagner and Pamela Tiffin in "Harper"

OdH and OdH in "The Dark Mirror."

Ben and Matt, GOOD WILL HUNTING.

(Remember back when all the gays were convinced they were fucking?)

Tom Hardy as the Kray twins.

Matt and Jude in Ripley

Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

Bette Davis and Bette Davis in A Stolen Life.

Eva Green and Josh Hartnett in Penny Dreadful.

Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon in Bull Durham.

Sean Young was prettier.

Sean Young and Kevin Costner in No Way Out.

Fay Dunaway and Jack Nicholson in Chinatown

It thought she was glamorous with Harrison Ford, as well, in Blade Runner.

Justin Bieber and his father.

Matt Dillon and Sean Young in A Kiss Before Dying (1991)

Shawn Mendes and John Mayer.

R429 Shawn has a sexy Adam's Apple!

Shawn Mendes and his father.

Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, “The Bodyguard”

^^^ forgot about Whitney and Kevin. That movie was a major blockbuster then.

A little BLADE RUNNER, for R426.

A better one...

Faye Dunaway and Raquel Welch in "The Three Musketeers".

Lady and the Tramp

Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in "The Odd Couple".

R437 - I'll raise you with Bambi and Faline.

Yes R271...I enjoyed both of them in that film. Abbey was a lovely lady. BFFs with Maya Angelou at one point.

Louis Jourdan w/Jennifer Jones in Madame Bovary...

R443 = Bryan

[quote]Bullock has never been beautiful. She's funny, she's girl-next-door pretty and seemingly normal and non-threatening. Of course straight guys had a crush on her, I didn't say she was a repulsive hag. I said she wasn't beautiful.

But with the right leading man, together, they CAN make a beautiful couple.

nah

Rear Window

Sisters Catherine Deneuve and Francoise Dorleac in "The Young Girls of Rochefort".

No Hedy Lamarrs yet?

R453 - A shameful omission, I agree. Hedy and a young suave Charles Boyer in "Algiers".

Speaking of Charles - Boyer and Bergman in "Gaslight".

Bergman and Leslie Howard in "Intermezzo"

And . . . Bergman and Cary Grant in "Notorious", Bergman and Gregory Peck in "Spellbound".

"Notorious" for the win though - oh that scene in the kitchen as the dinner burns in the oven and the camera circles around Grant and Bergman . . .

Hedy Lamarr and Clark Gable.

Hedy was listed 2x above before your post R453

R452 Their wigs and make-up in that film were atrocious. They looked like a couple of drag queens.

Oops, forgot to add a photo:

Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake in Sullivan's Travels

Norma Shearer and Tyrone Power In “Marie Antoinette” and Clark Gable and Norma in “Strange Interlude” and “Idiot’s Delight”.

Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe

R460 Shearer looked awful in Idiot’s Delight. Yet another case of a bad movie wig:

Too many Clark Gable ones when he wasn't that hot and he was really, really short.

Shearer and Gable were also great looking in “Strange Interlude” which is the first film where he debuted the Gable mustache.

Gable was no great beauty but he looked so much better without that sleazy-looking moustache. I know it was his trademark but I never liked it.

Here he is in Mutiny on the Bounty with the future Mrs. Marlon Brando and sans the ugly moustache:

R465 - I trust you are being ironic about the future Mrs Marlon Brando?

Brando married Tarita, who played that role in the next remake of Mutiny in . . . 1962. The Gable Mutiny was in . . . 1935. That woman in the photo would have been old enough to be Brando's Mum by 1962.

R466 You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?

Gable was gorgeous, I don't know what you guys are smoking.

Here he is with his baby-momma.

R466 - So, that actress with Gable from the 1935 photo was the very same Tarita who was born in 1941 and played the same role in1962? Imagine me missing that.

As I said, I trusted you were being ironic (but offered the clarification, anyway, just in case you weren't as sharp as you seemed.

Imagine you missing that.

R469 Are you trolling us missy or are you really the dumbest fucker on this website? The woman in the pic with Gable is Movita Castaneda, co-star of the 1935 version of Mutiny on the Bounty and wife of Marlon Brando between 1960-62. If you actually bothered clicking on the link I provided you would have known that by now.

Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in Star Trek

Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons in The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981)

Beautiful threesome: Powell, Loy and Asta!

Diego Luna y Ariadna Gil, Solo Quiero Caminar

Do homemade porns count, cause honestly my man and I are the most beautiful.

Charlton Heston and Yvonne deCarlo in The Ten Commandments (1956)

Charlton Heston and Anne Baxter in The Ten Commandments.

Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner in The Ten Commandments.

"Missy"?! "Missy"?!

Mum, is that you?!

Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna

R478 - Clint Walker got one of his first movie roles in The Ten Commandments as the Captain of the Sardinian Guards. Anyone else know the story? Welladay, won't go into it here, but if anyone should be getting the beauteous couple mention here, it's the godlike Clint next to Byrnner.

Heston's a snooze beside both of them.

Irene Dunne and Cary Grant in "Penny Serenade"

HIstory Is Made at Night is one of the screen's greatest romances.

Vivien Leigh and Butterfly McQueen in Gone With The Wind.

Not a couple but a triple beauty threat.

Larry, Moe, and Curly.

Groucho Marx and Margaret Dumont.

Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone.

Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer in Tequila Sunrise 1988

Warren Beatty and Julie Christie in Shampoo

Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver in The Year of Living Dangerously 1982

Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock in The Proposal

Gene Kelley and Cyd Charisse in the dream sequence of Singin' In the Rain

Joanne Pflug & Chuck Woolery!

Petchara Chaowarat and Mitr Chaibancha in อินทรีทอง .

Yaya Sperbund and whoever this guy is:

R481 Holy fuck, so that's Clint Walker there by the door?

R483 it's devastating, isn't it? Many years ago I was able to identify the film by hearing just a snippet of the two on the radio, and won a prize. At the time, I'd never seen the film but knew of it and its stars, and those melodious voices were unmistakable.

R490 - Come on - Gibson was so much prettier than Weaver in that film (one of my favourites of Weir's oeuvre) that women in the theatre when I saw it on first release burst out laughing when Weaver's character refuses to take Gibson's call begging her to go out with him.

Adding Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge in the updated filmed version of "Carmen".

And seconding the mention of Tequila Sunrise - what a feast for the eyes, and I don't mean the California beaches . . .

"Year" was exhilarating. Gibson's face now is like the portrait that Dorian Gray had in the attic, the one that showed the evil in his soul.

For lusciousness, Tyrone Power and Madeline Carroll in "Lloyds of London."

R499 - It is a terrific film, and I loved the score by Jarre, it was perfect. Jarre's score was also perfect for one of my other favourite Weir films, "Witness".

R501 Jarre's score was good but the best scene of the film used a track by Vangelis. I think this is one of the most beautiful scenes ever filmed:

R502 - I agree - that's the one where she walks to his office from the rain after she gets the inside info on the coup, no?

God, yes, that scene in the rain and the Vangelis score in The Year of Living Dangerously is stunning. Weir is the consummate visual poet. When I first saw Picnic at Hanging Rock, I was mesmerized by the agonizing story of Sara's secret love for Miranda and the endless longing and loss at Mrs. Appleyard’s College for Young Ladies.

Glenn Close and Mandy Patinkin in "Maxie."

R502 That was a terribly boring scene. I got nothing out of it.

That's fine R506, tastes differ. Now go back watching White Chicks.

R507 I prefer watching White Guys.

R505, that couple is one of the ugliest.

G & M

Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll in "The 39 Steps" were quite gorgeous.

R511 Madeleine Carroll is one of the greatest screen beauties of all time. People just don’t talk as much about her incredible beauty because she appeared mostly in British movies in the 1930’s.

R506 - Different strokes, as the old saying has it. Frankly, I didn't think there was a boring scene in the entire film. I also agree with the poster about Picnic at Hanging Rock - one thing Weir has a gift for is that mysterious thing called atmosphere.. But all right, taste is individual. A friend of mine says the world is divided into only two kinds of people: those who loved Only Lovers Left Alive and those who thought Jarmusch should have been put in prison for it.

He was only half kidding.

good call, r38

idk if these have been mentioned... audrey hepburn and peter o'toole in how to steal a million. and omar sharif and julie christie in dr. zhivago.

greta garbo was too beautiful for other people - they looked like meth-using apes next to her. nobody could match her so idk about her being part of an onscreen 'couple'.

also one of the first posts in this thread compared 3 romeo and juliet couples.

i found the middle one the best looking couple BY FAR (and more 'in character' than the others to boot) but idk who they are/were.

R1 forgot about the geriatric R & J:

R1 Let's just be clear, bitches...

Jeremie Renier and Marine Vatch - L'Amant Double

Omar Sharif and Peter O'Toole in "Lawrence of Arabia"

Albert Finney and Susannah York in "Tom Jones"

Love Heston's hairy chest in R477's pic. I wish there was a pic without Anne Baxter. She spoils my fantasy.

R520 You don't have to look far. Charlton Heston and John Derek (Joshua) are hot AF together in The Ten Commandments

They're even hotter BTS

Yes but his hairy chest looks best in that pic with Anne Baxter. I wish someone would alter the pic and crop her out.

Michael Pitt and Keira Knightley in Silk (2007)

R523 You are so hard to please.

R522 - Which leads us to the fabled scenes between the late lamented Stephen Boyd and Heston in Ben Hur.

Linda Harrison and James Franciscus - The Planet of the Apes

R526 Beautifully acted, too

Not most beautiful but honorable mention for Ralph F. and KST.

R529 That's Dame KST to you, commoner!

Aragorn and Legolas in LOTR

R528, there's a similar scene in Fall of the Roman Empire between Boyd, who's the hero, and Christopher Plummer, who's the wacko. They do that arms-entwined, drinking-from-squeeze-bags (botas?) business, with wine running down their chins...

R525, his hairy tits do look good in that pic. Thanks.

Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn in "Swing Shift".

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Angelina Jolie and Gerard Butler in Tomb Raider 2.

Colin Farrell and Gong Li in Miami VIce

If nobody has nominated them, I say Clark Gable and Joan Crawford in "Dance Fools Dance".

They are both also stunning in the later "Strange Cargo".

Forgot if anyone mentioned Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte in "Carmen Jones."

Or, Joan and Clark in "Chained" (1934)

They both had dire, hardscrabble childhoods.

And they both successfully parlayed whoring in Hollywood into becoming huge stars at MGM, R541!

More power to 'em!

R539 - Someone did, but considering they were also singing they merit another mention.

Ditto Kelly and Charisse - dancing and singing and still looking gorgeous gets double mention.

So I'll give another mention to Moira Shearer (dancing) and Marius Goring (conducting) in "The Red Shoes".

And, although they aren't classically handsome or beautiful, I'll add Rogers and Astaire in motion in their early films. You can't take your eyes off them when they start to move in films like "Swing Time".

Begging another small-screen exception for the gay power couple, Monsieur Philippe I, Duke of Orleans (Alexander Vlahos) and Chevalier de Lorraine (Evan Williams), in the BBC's "Versailles"

Wasn't the one on the left one of THE GILMORE GIRLS, R545?

Gilbert and Garbo in Queen Christina.

Burt and Ava. Kinda of nothing movie though.

Karen Morley & Paul Muni - Scarface (1932)

When I was 12 or so I saw Muni in this my and jaw fell open and my stomach felt funny.

R548 - Great mention, the film is "The Killers" and I rather like it. In later years, Burt was interviewed and this film was brought up, and Burt, who was quite youngin this film, admitted that in his first filmed clinches with the staggeringly beautiful Gardner he became sufficiently aroused that it was plainly visible and the crew cracked up.

What I find remarkable about Gardner is how natural her beauty was - she didn't require tonnes of work the way Rita Hayworth or other beauties did. You see photos of her at 16 or 18 and you can tell she was born with all this.

And yet - still died a lonely woman. Go figure.

And to the poster upthreads re The Ten Commandments - yes, that is Clint Walker guarding the door and standing behind Brynner in the other photo posted.

Kitty is invented and tacked onto a Hemingway tiny short story to make a feature movie but nothing much adds up. Great to look at!

R551 - Yes, it's one of those "watchable" films that don't need to add up - I think we'd call this one a "guilty pleasure" film. "Watchabililty" of course differs from one person to another - one person's watchability could be another's "Oh, no, not again . . ." But I've always found this film watchable. There are much better films out there that having seen once, I can't bring myself to watch again.

Old Hollywood did a lot of close-up romantic stills with their beautiful co-leads to promote their pics. There are so many pics of Gable snuggling with his leading ladies...but the best ones, IMO, is Tyrone Power with anyone. He was so damn beautiful.

[quote]maybe it's the hair...

R546 Yes, the wigs suck in this series. It's like they're from a joke shop.

Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle in Pride and Prejudice

R143 the aesthetically-pleasing couple of PRETTY IN PINK were Kate Vernon & James Spades. Yes, they were abhorrent but they were the hottest characters.

You know, Molly Ringwald worked opposite some studs but the only fella to make her look a real star was Anthony-Michael Hall. He loved her back then, suppose it showed.

Gackt & Hyde, MOON CHILD (2002).

Zhang Ziyi and Ken Watanabe in Memoirs of a Geisha.

Clark Gable and Mary Astor in Red Dust (1932)

Meryl Streep and Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter (1978)

Meryl Streep and Karen Ludwig in "Manhattan"

Tom Cruise and Mia Sara in Legend

Some great choices. Joel and Virginia in Sullivan’s Travels were no slouches.

Matthew Broderick and Mia Sara in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

I always thought Matthew Broderick looked like an oversized rodent. And Meryl's name also doesn't belong in any beauty-oriented thread.

R565 - I think that's Veronica, not Virginia.

R567 - Second that about Streep. She also practically owns the Celebrities With No Sex Appeal thread.

I think Ingrid Bergman and Bogie in "Casablanca" must get a mention. He wasn't classically handsome, but he was at the peak of his jolie-laide appeal, and she was breathtaking in it - those closeups!

Christopher Walken and Grace Jones in A View to a Kill (1985)

Jon-Erik Hexum and Jennifer O'Neill

R570, nitpickally, I think Bogie would be "joli-laid."*

Ingrid and Coop in "Saratoga Trunk" were quite spectacular.

Bette Davis and Leslie Howard in Of Human Bondage (1934)

Actually, I thought Meryl was beautiful when she was younger.

Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro were lovers in The Deerhunter. I am not sure what role Walken played. DeNiro was sexy and fine back then.

Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward, "Against All Odds"

R575 Walken played Meryl's fiance and De Niro's friend. De Niro later betrayed their friendship by stealing Walken's fiancee, Meryl.

Ashton Holmes and Gabriel Mann in Revenge

Here is why I think Jeff Bridges and Michelle Pfeiffer were the most beautiful onscreen couple. They were both so gorgeous in 1989.

Doris Day and Rock Hudson in their 1st classic movie "Pillow Talk".

In the late 40s/early 50s Ricardo Montalban and Cyd Charisse were in a number of MGM musicals together. They were gorgeous and some of their dances together really sizzled. (Don't ask about Cyd's acting.) No rumors about an affair, but they were friends and there's a sweet photo of an aged Cyd pushing an aged, wheelchair-bound Ricardo at some event.

Bitch, I LIVE.

Angela Lansbury and Hurd Hatfield in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1945)

Ugh, I can't agree with you on that one -Hatfield was the one thing that prevented that otherwise brilliantly cast film from becoming a true classic. He was a shitty actor and looked like a rehydrated mummy.

Russell crowe and John Polson in The Sum of Us (1994)

And, in memoriam especially today, it must said if not repeated: A strapping hot young Albert Finney and a beautiful young classic English Rose, Susannah York, in "Tom Jones". RIP both.

For R586

Audrey Hepburn and Jeremy Brett in "My Fair Lady" 1964

Kirk Douglas and Robert Mitchum in "Out of the Past".

Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons in "Angel Face"

Ryan O'Neal and Marissa Berensen in Barry Lyndon

Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood in : 2001: A Space Odyssey

Well the brawniest M/F would be Richard Egan* and Jane Russell in "The Revolt of Mamie Stover." With DL fave Agnes Moorehead as a Hawaii madam.

R589 Battling dimpled chins...

Nicole Kidman and Goran Visnjic in Practical Magic

Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle in Pride and Prejudice

Oops, repeat

R593 - they barely fit on the screen together. The actors, I mean, not the dimpled chins.

Marlene Dietrich and John Lodge in "The Scarlett Empress" (1934)

I never got the appeal of Marlene Dietrich, I always thought her face was too flat.

Tried repeatedly to correct my typo, the site wouldn’t let me, it is of course the lovely Veronica Lake in the photo.
