Poll: A Little More Than Roommates?
These movie characters were friends and roommates (for a substantial time of the film) but something in the dynamics going between them might suggest a deeper bond than simple friendship, for better or for worse... although it's never explored to the fullest or the subtext is purely theoretical but we can't totally avoid the feeling of a homoerotic subtext.
Though we respect your disagreement on many of these inclusions, we hope we'll get your vote for the couple that you feel ticks most of, if not all, the boxes of what makes a legit couple.
So, which of these memorable movie duos is the closest to a couple?
