Thanks, Kate. I owe myself a big music buy, maybe when I graduate. I'll put it on the list.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

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.

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

Hepburn/Grant in Philadelphia Story.
Oh, they were good. Still no Tiger/Dragon, but of the more classic movies, definitely my favourite mentioned yet.
I may need to see the original Postman too.

Alan Ladd/Veronica Lake had some terrific chemistry in their flicks together.
Oh! Henry Fonda/Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve. I hadn't realized the appeal of a foot fetish until I watched the cabin scene.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
the legendary Lana Turner/John Garfield chemistry was entirely on display.
The best part of this movie is how obvious it is that Lana Turner is capital-T Trouble, and watching Garfield's inability to step back from teh lust and think carefully. In Cain's other big novel, Double Indemnity, the male protagonist throws himself off the cliff in full possession of his faculties, but The Postman Always Rings Twice is like watching a guy too doped up to know better.
