Refreshing Rather Than Rant

Yea I know you're all used to reading me rant and go on about all the shit that's wrong with this world but I'm not feeling that way today.
Actually I AM still feeling that way because there IS A LOT of evil, ignorance, darkness and negativity going on all around us this very minute!
BUT I don't want to talk about that today. Today as I casually surfed the endless waves of the web, liked some items on Facebook and tweeted a couple of replies i had a quick thought.

As i tweeted to Mr. Shahrukh Khan (my favorite and one of the all-time most successful Bollywood actors) how much I enjoyed his movies Don & Don2, I wondered to myself if he would be making anymore movies with Kajol. (my favorite and one of the all-time most successful Bollywood actresses)

So came the next thought which was that they are one of my favorite movie couples of all time.
And so here it is.
Some of Da Wizard's all-time favorite movie couples, mainly from some of my favorite movies!



Oh yea, this is going to expose a certain side of me.... but I don't care. I'm a grown ass man.

 


Arthur & Guinevere - Excalibur

 Yes I know the marriage was doomed from day one but he really loved her and she put up a good front most of the time. Plus they get extra points for having such a damn cool wedding!





Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks

C'mon! There can not possibly be anyone out there who doesn't like at least one of their movies! That's just not possible. Yes ok, Joe and the Volcano was kinda forgettable but Sleepless in Seattle? You've Got Mail? C'mon!






Him: I was married once before.
Her: What? What's her social security number?
If that isn't love?





Michael Douglas & Annette Bening - The American President

Cool idea, fun movie and proof that Douglas actually has a personality. Together they were spot on as a couple. Yes, it might give you a toothache from all the sugary sweetness but I see my dentist regularly.





Kate Beckinsale & John Cusack - Serendipity
Yes definitely a guilty pleasure. I love this movie. The chance meeting, the abrupt parting and the universe making shit happen as it should. Not only great chemistry between Beckinsale and Cusack but the supporting cast of Jeremy Piven, Molly Shannon, Eugene Levy, John Corbett AND our very own New York City is absolutely perfect.




 
Kajol Devgn & Shah Rukh Khan

Most of you reading this right now probably have never watched a Bollywood film. I understand, they are speaking Hindi, there are subtitles, there are musical numbers through out the movie and the movies are like 3 hours long. I get it.
So here is my suggestion, if you only watch ONE Bollywood movie in your life(AND YOU SHOULD) then watch one with Kajol and Shah Rukh. The chemistry these guys have is amazing. And their movies (6 in total) range from fun romantic comedies "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to more serious drama "My Name is Kahn"

Buy one, rent one, Netflix it, borrow it from a friend. Just let them entertain you.





Bogey & Bacall

What can I possibly say here? Icons. A true Hollywood, fairytale, storybook romance. I LOVE THESE GUYS. I love their movies, their true story and their timeless love. Just watch and enjoy!








And last but certainly not least, there's these guys here. These guys are special. This movie is special. I'm not finished watching it but by far these guys are the best I've ever seen.  ;-)
Long live great movies and great couples!
