Hmm. Anna and Vronsky? Too one-sided. Daisy and Gatsby? Too nostalgic. So it's back to basics -- Romeo and Juliet. Especially in the 1968 Zeffirelli film. OMG to be 15 and see them pepper their faces with kisses. And her hair! Her face. That heaving bosom! The only bosom I've ever seen heaving, and it was done without CGI. But if those "star-crossed lovers" are too traditional, allow me a second favorite fictional couple -- myself and any of the women I've imagined walking with, in meadows, hand-in-hand. The scenes were written nightly. The love flowed forth.
