The Swooniest Couples Ever!
by Leslie Gray Streeter
True swooniness isn't just about the prettiness of the people or the length of the liplock. It's all about chemistry, baby, and these twosomes have it, big time.
1. Zack and Paula (Richard Gere and Debra Winger)
An Officer And A Gentleman (1982)
At the end, Naval flyboy Zack sweeps true love Paula out of the factory and into happily ever after, thus establishing unrealistic romantic expectations for a whole generation of eager little girls. Gee, thanks, guys.
2. Rick and Ilsa (Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman)
Casablanca (1942)
So, we know Ilsa's gotta go be with her boring husband and further the cause and stuff. But with the way Rick looks at her, can you blame her for not wanting to?
3. Stella and Winston (Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs)
How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998)
Two of the world's most beautiful creatures meet in Jamaica, one of the world's most beautiful places. There's no way this wasn't going to be hot.
4. Samantha and Jake (Molly Ringwald and Michael Schoeffling)
Sixteen Candles (1984)
Unrealistic Romantic Expectation Moment, Part Deux -- When shy sophomore Sam runs out of the church where her sister has just been married to find her school's hottest senior (and her secret crush) waiting in his red convertible to whisk her away. Kids? This is never going to happen to you. Don't even get your hopes up.
5. Josie and Sam (Drew Barrymore and Michael Vartan)
Never Been Kissed (1999)
So shy reporter Josie's never had a real kiss? Her sweetly smoldering buss with Alias guy Vartan -- on a baseball mound! -- more than makes up for a lifetime of kisslessness.
