I am rolling my eyes in the manner of a Mobius strip.
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.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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?

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.

I would have liked to have seen the original ending to Pretty Woman, where he lets her go back to the streets and doesn't go after her to tie it up all so prettily.

Art Crawl!!!
I just updated my queue to put Finding Neverland at the top. I'm so sad that I missed that in the theatre.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The original ending to Pretty Woman makes about $5 mil at the box office.
I know we have some Gary Cole fans here, so I wanted to include this bit from Stephanie Zacharek's review of Ring 2.
The other is the always fabulous, and always surprising, Gary Cole, as a cagily good-natured real estate agent. Cole is an actor whose face doesn't trigger an instant "good guy" or "bad guy" response; his benign good looks command us to watch him closely every second in order to figure out what he's up to -- he's just the sort of actor you want to see in a movie like this

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've considered him just the sort of actor I want to see in a movie that got better reviews.
