These iconic movie couples are exactly what a film needs to evoke emotions from the viewers. I can think of many movies that will be remembered for the iconic couples that displayed incredible chemistry.

A nice romance just makes the movie more interesting, adding a new dimension that makes it much more exciting to watch.

Prepare yourself for a nostalgia trip as you scroll down to see what your favorite movie couples look like years after their memorable roles.
