Love is in the air!

People either seem to adore or fervently despise Valentine's Day.  I love it.  It's just a beautiful day with flowers and hearts everywhere.  And, it's also pretty fun to see men scurry around all day with worried looks on their faces.

Since I'm obviously a sucker for romance, I wanted to share a list of my all-time favorite fictional couples.

Rhett and Scarlett from Gone with the Wind are so perfect together.  They kind of hate one another, but it just works.

Wall-E and Eva from Wall-E.  Even robots fall in love.

Elinor Dashwood and Edward Ferrars from Sense and Sensibility are not as well known as Jane Austen's most famous pair, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, but their story is far more romantic.  Mr. Darcy had it all and chose Elizabeth.  Edward Ferrars had it all and gave it up for Elinor.

 

Clementine and Joel from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; They fall back in love after erasing their memories of one another. 

 

Harry and Sally from When Harry Met Sally.  What kind of love could be better than two best friends realizing they're meant for each other?

 

Rick and Ilsa from Casablanca.  He loved her so much he let her leave with Victor Laszlo


My least favorite couple?
