    Depp and Moss

    1. Johnny Depp and Kate Moss

    Rap sheet: They may have had their reunion in "Queenie Eye," but it totally doesn't count. How about some actual interaction? We miss the days of their legendary four-year romance that ended with their split in 1998.

    Stewart and Pattinson

    2. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

    Rap sheet: Here's a couple that we really thought were going to stay strong, ever since they set their red vamped eyes on each other in Twilight. It goes without saying that we're still in denial of their media-hyped breakup last year.

    Danes and Leto

    3. Angela Chase and Jordan Catalano

    Rap sheet: It was the timeless bad-boy-meets-good-girl setup that we all know and love. Or, should we say loved. Fifteen years after their breakup in "My So-Called Life," we wish we can see them speed off in Red together once again.

    4. Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big

    Rap sheet: They're relationship in "Sex and the City" always had us reeling and hooked with anticipation, only to end with the happy ending we all hoped for.

    Gosling and McAdams

    (Image credit: Marie Claire)

    5. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling

    Rap sheet: It's safe to say that these two are the iconic couple of romantic movies everywhere. In The Notebook, Noah and Allie loved each other until death did them part, but they're real-life relationship sadly ended in 2007. We'll never forget their steamy on-screen kiss in the rain and on-stage kiss at the MTV Movie Awards.

    Bennet and Mr Darcy

    (Image credit: Marie Claire)

    6. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy

    Rap sheet: "It is a truth universally acknowledged..." that we can't get enough of the love-hate relationship between these two. The film's beautiful meadow scene and ending kiss (tip: only available in versions outside the U.S.) will remain in our dreams forever.

    Zellweger and Firth

    (Image credit: Marie Claire)

    7. Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth

    Rap sheet: If we can't get Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in real life, Renne Zellweger and Colin Firth's pairing in the Austen reinterpretation, Bridget Jones's Diary, would be the perfect equivalent.

    Waldorf and Bass

    8. Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass

    Rap sheet: Sex, lies, and cheating was the name of their game. The Blair-Chuck chemistry had us confused most times, but it was definitely entertaining.

    Cobain and Love

    (Image credit: Marie Claire)

    9. Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love

    Rap sheet: The world may have tried to keep this rockstar couple apart, but they went all-in with their 1992 marriage. May this couple be alive in our hearts, always.

    Witherspoon and Phillipe

    (Image credit: Marie Claire)

    10. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe

    Rap sheet: Despite a relatively long marriage of eight years after confirming their love on set of Cruel Intentions, they broke hearts everywhere when they filed for divorce in 2006.

    Bush and Murray

    (Image credit: Marie Claire)

    12. Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray

    Rap sheet: Sophia Bush's long history of dating her "One Tree Hill" co-stars all began with Chad Michael Murray. Despite their rocky five-month marriage that ended with a scandalous divorce, the two professionals say they are keeping it friendly even today. Does this mean that there's still hope?

    Depp and Ryder

    (Image credit: Marie Claire)

    13. Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp

    Rap sheet: We loved everything about this Edward Scissorhands couple, who stayed engaged for three years after Depp proposed in mid-1990. He even had her name tatooed on his arm. This has got to mean that he still thinks of her every day when he looks at it, right?

    Bonet and Kravitz

    (Image credit: Marie Claire)

    14. Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz

    Rap sheet: The two eloped after meeting on the set of "The Cosby Show" and remained married from 1987 to 1993. Though now separated, they say they're still one big family.
