There are many classic couples that the general population still remembers. They were considered iconic since they shared a very good chemistry on the screen.
Let us discuss a few of them.
1. Rose and Jack from Titanic
It is said that Leonardo DiCaprio’s career skyrocketed after this movie only. Much of the credit goes to the on-screen chemistry between Rose (played by Kate Winslet) and Jack (played by Leo). It became unforgettable because of many reasons. One such being the class barriers between the two. Their feelings sparked when she posed as the French girl for Jack’s painting. They get all hot and steamy in the car but the most iconic scene is when Jack drowned after leaving her on the floating ice. It is rightly considered as one of the best couples in the film industry.
2. Baby and Johnny from Dirty Dancing
It is also one of the most iconic couples in the entire film industry. They are mostly envied upon by teenage couples. It is played beautifully by the raunchy male lead Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey as Baby. The dance moves were nothing short of amazing as Johnny teaches her the dance moves. Kellerman’s may have looked like an ordinary holiday camp but to our teenage selves, it was the land where anything was possible. And we wanted to be there so badly.
3. Harry and Sally from When Harry Met Sally
It is considered as one of the most memorable couples of the entire movie industry. The onscreen chemistry was as incredible as the storyline. The story starts when they first met at the back of the car and argue on whether men and women could ever be friends without getting physically intimate. As the story progress they often meet by chance and it is those events that sparked the unparalleled chemistry.
There are many more couples that deserve to be on this list but we will talk about them in our other posts. Play the quiz and have a good day.

“What would you do if I kissed you right now?”
I stared at his beautiful face and his beautiful mouth and I wanted nothing more than to taste it. “I would kiss you back.”

“You want me as much as I want you. And all I want is you.”
My tongue warred with my mind. “Today,” I whispered.
Noah stood slowly, his body skimming mine as he rose. “Today. Tonight. Tomorrow. Forever.”

“We kiss all the time.” I clear my throat, then add, “We just…do it in private.”
“A smug expression crosses his face. “I don’t buy it for a second, ’cause if you were my girlfriend and a stud like me was livin’ in your house, I’d kiss you in front of the guy every chance I got as a reminder.”
“A reminder of w-w-what?”
“That you were mine.”

“In my rush, I hadn’t tied my shoelaces. Noah was now tying them for me.
He looked up at me through his dark fringe of lashes and smiled. The expression on his face melted me completely. I knew I had the goofiest grin plastered on my lips, and didn’t care.
“There,” he said as he finished tying the laces on my left shoe. “Now you won’t fall.”
Too late.”
