Believable couples in love in movies and television

The Bunkers. They were like a lot of long-suffering couples my family.

Also John Astin and Carolyn Jones as Gomez and Morticia; they were attracted to each other in real life too if I remember correctly.

RDJ and Paltrow is a good choice, OP. Totally believable and effortless chemistry (and Im usually not a fan of Gwynnie)

Don Hollinger and Ann Marie.

Tony and Carmela Soprano (James Gandolfini & Edie Falco).

Claire and Phil in Modern Family. Otherwise she’d have left the jerk long long ago.

It seems like a no-brainer and the show has long run its course, but Homer and Marge Simpson are absolutely devoted to each other whatever else you may think of them.

Do Bogart and Bacall count in their film noirs?

Debra Winger and John Travolta in Urban Cowboy.

[quote]This is an outlier, but in Love and Marriage I think Ed O'Neil and Katey Sagal absolutely nailed a dysfunctional and toxic relationship that still had a kernel of mutual love at its center.

Oh, dear.

IMO, those two seemed like they hated each other. If they had had the money, they would've been divorced.

No, R7.

Kim'n'Bob on As the World Turns

Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Empire Strikes Back made their relationship clear and complex at the same time.

I'm a big old Mary and the film sucked balls, but their embrace in Star Wars: The Force Awakens made me tear up a bit. It looked like the real thing.

And to some extent probably was.

R11, why not?

Not TV or movie, but the pro-shot of the 2000 Manila production of MISS SAIGON, starring Lea Salonga and Will Chase.

Particularly the scene linked below.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were fucking behind the scenes, even though both were taken at the time.

Harrison Ford and Karen Allen in the Indiana Jones movies.

Dorothy Malone and Liberace in 'Sincerely Yours'

Do Nancy and Sluggo count?

R18, movies and television.

Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard in Modern Times.

The Ropers were believably miserable. Kirstie Alley and Travolta in Look who's talking.

Regarding Married With Children, Steve and Marcy, two Reaganomic bankers who were enamored of money and each other.

Dan and Roseanne

Pride and Prejudice BBC 1995.

Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

Magic.

Fran Fine and Maxwell Sheffield on THE NANNY (1993-1999)

Allison and Joe DuBois on Medium

Charles and Caroline Ingalls

Greg and Marcia Brady

Glenn Close and Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction. It was the most lovable G. has ever been.

R10, I disagree. Whenever there was a real threat to either one of them, the other stepped up to the plate.

It helped that they were both past their youthful beauty but still good-looking

Sharon Stone and all her male - and female - costars.

OP, this thread needs a companion thread titled "TV and Movie Couples NOT believable as in love".

Doris Day and James Garner in The Thrill Of It All

Johnny and Gheorghe in "God's Own Country."

Cher and Nicholas Cage in Moonstruck.
