Lovely Blog Party || Top Ten Movie/TV Couples {2nd Edition}

Hello, all!  This is the first of my three posts for Cordy's Lovely Blog Party, going on the whole month of February!  I decided to make a "Valentine sandwich" for my contributions: my two top ten couples lists (one today, one the 15th) bookending my answers to Cordy's tag, to be answered on the 14th itself. :)

So!  Today's post is my second attempt at a top ten list for my favorite movie and TV couples.  (I did one before, but I shan't link to it -- if you really want to, you can find it fairly easily.  It's no longer entirely accurate, and hence the reboot. ;-P) 

Now, I majorly overthink things and am also rather indecisive, so you may imagine how difficult such endeavors often are for me. :-P  All's I can say is, this list has changed quite a bit in the brief span of time I've been working on it, so I hope it's accurate, but I couldn't swear to it in court, dontcha know.  The order is roughly accurate (with the very top favorites toward the end of the post), but I haven't actually numbered them, because, again, I'm indecisive and easily stressed by such things. :-P  And, like, this list could change in a matter of hours.

Also, to make things easier for myself, I'm just listing a few bullet point reasons for each couple instead of trying to create actual paragraphs.  So.  Here goes.  

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Joe & Kathleen

From: You've Got Mail

Some Reasons Why

• ANONYMOUS ONLINE PEN PALS!  (I mean, don't try this at home, kids, but in the movie, it works :-p)
• "Hey, I keep running into you."  "Yeah!  . . . Wanna run into me on Saturday?" (It went something like that, at least)
• the whole premise of their relationship/the misunderstanding :-P
• "You probably rented those children."
• daisies <3
• OKAY BUT THE PART WHERE HE GOES TO CHECK ON HER WHEN SHE'S SICK

Sorry, the picture's bad quality

Sophie & Charlie

From: Letters to Juliet

Some Reasons Why

• they get off on the wrong foot, and I usually like that
• he's British, she's American
• thus: "You live in New York, which is highly overrated." "Pardon me?"
• their rearview mirror glances
• the wedding and their awkwardness thereat
• "Oh, she's coming!  Oh, splendid, splendid!"

Aragorn & Arwen
From: The Lord of the Rings

Some Reasons Why

• the constancy
• the Evenstar necklace (okay it's shallow but for real)
• I MEAN SHE GIVES UP HER IMMORTALITY FOR THE DUDE
• how she's the force driving him to keep going
• THE CORONATION/REUNION

Jason & Hannah
From: October Baby

Some Reasons Why

• friends since childhood
• the opening credits with them running to the pier and jumping off
• how he takes care of her and is there for her
• really, just how they're such good, true friends
• "I am -- "  "I am not."
• I mean, Jason goes to jail for her, basically, so
• their first date <333  
• the very end

Tom & Sun Fu
From: Broken Trail

Some Reasons Why

• the language barrier
• how much Tom wants to protect her
• the way Sun Fu says "Tom"
• how Tom says, "Her name's Sun Fu."
• Sun Fu's face crumpling as she touches Tom's cheek in that stagecoach scene
• that whole stagecoach scene

Emma & Killian
From: Once Upon a Time

Some Reasons Why

• all the ups and downs of their relationship
• "Perhaps gratitude is in order now?"
• the fact that Emma helped bring Killian back from the proverbial dark side
• the way Killian looks at Emma
• how basically everyone in the show ships it (after Neal, of course)
• "One of these days I'm gonna stop chasing this woman."
• Killian pulling Emma into his arms when she's watching the Evil Queen try to execute Snow
• how much Emma believes in Killian's redemption
• also I just noticed this but how she's sort of bashful around him?  like whenever he's paying her a compliment or something like that? because she's not used to people treating her like the princess she is (*crying*)

Penelope & Johnny

From: Penelope

Some Reasons Why

• I LOVE HOW THEY BEGIN
• their interrogation-mirror interactions
• the "You Are My Sunshine" song
• just how adorable they both are
• her insecurities and his lack of faith in himself
• THE SCENE IN HIS APARTMENT
• how he pushes her on the swing at the end

Han & Leia
From: Star Wars

Some Reasons Why

• # sass goals
• "NERF-HERDER!"
• their hug in the garbage chute
• how Han instinctively turns to shield Leia during the cave-in in The Empire Strikes Back
• basically all their scenes ever
• "Who's scruffy-lookin'?"
• *refrains from typing the iconic line b/c it's too cliché, but . . . the iconic line*

This edit makes me happy. <3

Faramir & Eowyn

From: The Lord of the Rings

Some Reasons Why

• they're perfect, that's why
• seriously, I love how they've both been through really tough things and then they find each other *sappy smile*
• I love how Faramir's gentleness (which doesn't negate his strength) balances out Eowyn's wildness
• their scene is like my favorite 45 seconds of the entire trilogy (okay, at least one of my favorites)

NATALIIIIIIIEEEEEE

Robin & Marian

From: Robin Hood

Some Reasons Why

• um NEED I EVEN ELABORATE
• BASICALLY EVERYTHING
• I DON'T THINK I CAN STOP USING CAPS
• (okay never mind I can) again, long-standing relationship with plenty of ups and downs
• they bicker -- boy, do they bicker -- but they're also willing to work it out
• THEY'RE LEGIT ONE OF THE FEELSIEST COUPLES I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED AND I'M NOT OKAY
• they've just really captured a piece of my heart

Do we share any favorites?
