About This Quiz
If there's anything to be learned from classic romantic films, it's that no two relationships are exactly alike. In some movies, the attraction is felt immediately. The chemistry is palpable, even from the audience's vantage point — how can you forget Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio gazing at one another during the aquarium scene in Baz Luhrmann's version of "Romeo + Juliet"?
For other classic movie couples, the timing and circumstances are all wrong. For example, it isn't until Audrey Hepburn does some much-needed soul-searching that she can allow herself to fall for Gregory Peck's decidedly more conservative personality in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Would Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks have fallen in love at the end of "You've Got Mail" if it wasn't for their initial disdain of one another? Not in the world of romantic comedies, where most relationships can only begin after a prolonged period of mutual dislike (or even hatred).
While these examples of iconic movie couples are all very different from one another — and they fall firmly into the category of fiction — there's something to be said about the universal appeal of a good romantic story. Answer the following questions about your current relationship, and we'll tell you which famous movie couple you resemble the most, even though the plot of your story is probably very different than that of the actual movie.
