Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From IMDB:
When Harry Met Sally stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal have been voted the greatest on-screen couple of all time in a new poll. The sizzling chemistry between the pair in the 1989 romantic comedy beat out competition from second-placed Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart, for their romance in the Oscar-winning 1942 classic Casablanca. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere came third for their team-up in hit 1990 movie Pretty Woman, in the poll commissioned by British chain store
I have to admit, I'm particular to Harry and Sally. But I'm not sure who I like the most.

If I only had a brain...
Bogart and Bacall in The Big Sleep. Hunt and Turner in Body Heat.

I am rolling my eyes in the manner of a Mobius strip. Bergman/Grant in Notorious.
I think Ple will back me that any list that doesn't include Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich from Morocco in the top three is bankrupt.

I guess I should see Morocco and The Big Sleep. Hunt and Turner were sexy in Body Heat, but I wasn't cheering for them, or anything. I don't even remember having a reaction to the Notorious coupling.

Count me in the rolly train. Not to offer any other candidates for first place, but I loathed both Harry and Sally, and never moreso than as a couple.

I love that movie. But all time? Whatever. Gable/Leigh in GWTW...sure it's kind of a thirteen yo answer, but... Hmm, still a little behind on the classics. I'd put Keaton/Allen ahead of them, too. But still not all time, maybe.

Audrey Hepburn and someone, maybe. George Peppard? Cary Grant? Peter O'Toole? Sean Connery?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Gregory Peck.
The Big Sleep was great, but I prefer Bogie and Bacall in To Have and Have Not, where you can watch them actually falling in love with each other as it happens in the story they're portraying.
I liked Crystal and Ryan, but I think I'd pick Kidman/MacGregor and Garofalo/Chaplin over Hooker!Cinderella for the modern pairing.

I hate Pretty Woman So. Much. I just can't even talk about it.
