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.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

"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.

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

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner in BULL DURHAM is one of my favorite couples.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jamie and Aurelia in Love Actually.
Not classic, but a new favorite of mine.
