10 Most Intense Movie Couples Ever

A love that transcends everything in just a few days. Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) come from completely different worlds, but their connection is so pure and intense that it overcomes class differences. From the steamy car scene to the dramatic farewell in the icy ocean, Titanic shows how intense love can be, even when it ends tragically.

A love so strong it's suppressed for a lifetime. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal play two cowboys who develop feelings for each other in the '60s but live in a world where their love isn't allowed to exist. Their moments together are full of pent-up passion, anger and pain, and their farewell is one of the most heartbreaking in film history.

Pure passion, art and tragedy in one explosive romance. Christian (Ewan McGregor) and Satine (Nicole Kidman) fall hopelessly for each other, but their love is threatened by money, illness and the harsh life of the Parisian nightclub world. From epic musical declarations of love to a tragic ending, this is romance at its most dramatic and grand.

The definition of a passionate but destructive relationship. Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) and Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) are both proud, headstrong and too stubborn to fully embrace their love. Their relationship crackles with fireworks, from fiery kisses to fierce arguments, and ends with the legendary line 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.'

A slow, intense buildup of love through friendship. Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) have a chemistry that doesn't explode from the first moment but builds over years. Their conversations about love, sex and life feel so real that the climax, when they finally realize they love each other, is all the more powerful.

From contempt to all-consuming passion. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen play a couple who start out disdaining each other but ultimately succumb to a love too strong to deny. The rain scene, the intense eye contact, the famous hand flex: Pride & Prejudice is full of subtle but raging emotion.

Romance mixed with crime, violence and recklessness. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway play the iconic outlaws who rob banks together, live on the run and share a fiery relationship. Their passion isn't just love but also the adrenaline rush of danger, and their tragic end is as intense as their romance.

A love so intense they want to forget each other, and still find their way back. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet play a couple who have their memories of each other erased after their breakup. But even as the memories disappear, the intense attraction between them remains.

Pure movie romance in its most classic form. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams play a couple whose love is held back by war, social class and family. From the iconic kiss in the rain to the tragic ending in which they die together, The Notebook is an emotional rollercoaster of love and longing.

Love full of passion, music and tragedy. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga play lovers who experience the heights of fame together, but also the deepest lows of addiction and self-destruction. Their chemistry is so real the film feels almost like a documentary, and the closing song 'I'll Never Love Again' is heartbreaking.
