10. Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing (1987)

Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that actually move people to write “most iconic movie couples” lists; not that we’re speaking from experience, of course. The sheer tension and dynamic between Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey gave an entire generation their idea of the perfect couple energy, and they looked stunning together.

9. Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

The touching and infinitely warm story told by Sleepless in Seattle captivated viewers around the world, but it was the chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan that really made it so great. The two stars famously have an amazing relationship and worked together on many movies, fueling fans’ hopes; albeit, they were just friends.

8. Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock in Speed (1994)

If someone told you that a time-loop movie where the story resets itself every few minutes would have one of the best on-screen romances, you wouldn’t believe it. Well, jokes on you: Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock were amazing together in Speed, and as it later turned out, both had a crush on each other while making it.

7. Brendan Fraser & Rachel Weisz in The Mummy (1999)

The Mummy is a truly iconic movie, and you know that the romance is good good when in an overall brilliant horror adventure film, it’s the chemistry between lead stars that steals every scene. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz were a match made in heaven, and when she didn’t return in the third movie, fans were oh so frustrated!

6. Julia Stiles & Heath Ledger in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Sweet and perfect is one thing, but competition-fueled and equally grumpy is a whole new level of perfection in a relationship. In 10 Things I Hate About You, Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles play a high-school bad boy and an antisocial and tough girl, respectively, and watching their romance bloom is something else. They were great.

5. Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaughey in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)

While a typical romcom isn’t considered the most respectable movie, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days excels in its execution. Primarily, of course, thanks to Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey’s obvious chemistry: the two actors are friends in real life, and they know each other well, so their on-screen duo had no chance to miss.

4. Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Tension, passion, and heavily electrified air — that’s the impression you get from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s performance in Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

3. Jennifer Lawrence & Liam Hemsworth in The Hunger Games ( 2012)

While in the movies, Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss ended up with Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta, the actress had the most chemistry with Liam Hemsworth. They looked great on-screen, and many fans were rooting for Katniss and Gale for the endgame — and not to be those guys, but there were certain rumors about J-Law and Hemsworth.

2. Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone in La La Land ( 2016)

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are one of those on-screen couples that you don’t ever get tired of watching. They have co-starred in several movies and each time, they were an absolute joy together. Judging by their interviews, these actors have overwhelming amounts of love and respect for each other, so no wonder!
