Meg Ryan/Billy Crystal makes sense to me, I suppose, although not as #1. I'm a little appalled that
Pretty Woman
is on there, though. Don't know who I'd choose--I think I've missed out on a lot of the classic romantic movies, so I'd vote for pairings like Franka Potente and Matt Damon in
The Bourne Identity,
or Angela Bassett and Ralph Fiennes in
Strange Days.
Or, you know, Sam and Frodo.
Hey Dana, I don't know if you stay current in the Music thread these days, but I posted in there a couple days ago about Tracy Grammer's new album--thought you'd be interested. Definitely pick up a copy when you can.
I've read a couple reviews that have singled him out as one of the best things in an underwhelming movie.
He's probably due for a write up in Cintra Wilson's series on Undervalued Character Actors.
Several people in the audience (myself included) exclaimed "Lumberg!" when Gary Cole showed up in The Ring Two.
Meg Ryan makes me want to shoot things.
Thanks, Kate. I owe myself a big music buy, maybe when I graduate. I'll put it on the list.
Angela Bassett and Ralph Fiennes in Strange Days
There's a couple I can get really enthusiastic about.
Oh. No. I've found my pairing: Li Mu Bai/Yu Shu Lien in CTHD. I can't think of a topper.
Come on, people, Hepburn/Grant in
Philadelphia Story.
Few of the noir pairings work as great couples, because they may have the Hot Hot Lovin' but usually one of them is playing the other and there is no actual love there.
Grace Kelly/Cary Grant scenes in
To Catch a Thief
are all pretty damn hot. And OMG that scene in
On the Waterfront
where Brando and Eva Marie Saint have that heartbreaking row and he kisses her and they slide down the wall, weeping. It kills me.
Meg Ryan makes me want to shoot things.
Yeah but so do spiders.
Speaking of noir, JZ watched the original
Postman Always Rings Twice
with me recently and the legendary Lana Turner/John Garfield chemistry was entirely on display. They're like crazed weasels - you can tell they're about an inch away from pouncing on each other in every scene.
