This science-fiction black comedy, written, produced, and directed by Bong Joon Ho, proves that romance has a place in any genre. Mickey 17 (Robert Pattinson) has serious chemistry with Nasha (Naomi Ackie) — and so does Mickey 18 (also played by Pattinson). Yes, he’s playing multiple versions of himself, and they’re all lowkey lusting after the same girl.

Despite the dystopian chaos, this couple leaves us hopeful. We can’t help but hang on to their every word and touch. We need a happy ending in a world designed to destroy him.

Bridget Jones and Roxster, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

Now things might get a little controversial — we’ve reached a classic love triangle, but really, who’d expect anything different from Bridget Jones? For the first time, there’s no Mark Darcy in the running (sob), and the love triangle isn’t much of a choice. Bridget (Renée Zellweger) flirts with young Roxster (Leo Woodall) — twice — before turning her attention to her son’s teacher, Scott (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

And while we’d swoon for the science teacher, Bridget had undeniable chemistry with her boy toy. Those wedding dancing scenes? The giggling undressing of their first romp in the sheets? The way their gazes kept snagging on one another? Give us a break! Maybe if we’d seen more of Bridget and the teacher, they could’ve earned a spot on this list too, but alas.
