7. Taboo (1999)

Sozaburo Kano & Hyozo Tashiro
(Ryuhei Matsuda & Tadanobu Asano)

Sozaburo charmed half of the men around him with his delicate face and quiet mood. Tashiro, and older samurai, would not only fall for him but was also caring and patient towards his beloved. Very patience, once that, despite the fact that Sozaburo was quite a psycho, Tashiro's love was never denied (in fact, Sozaburo would encourage him) at the same time his touch was never allowed.
Kano and Tashiro found a bitter dead at the end. Never together and never apart, they surely were quite a strange couple.

10. Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

Lt.Cm. Data & Borg Queen
(Brent Spiner & Alice Krige)

Quite an unexpected mate (at least for me, really) Data and the Borg Queen shared a passionated kiss that made most of the audience chill. Being tempted by her, he was offered not only skin, flesh and bones, but also the Queen herself. Well, she surely managed to be both disgusting and sexy at the same time (!), do not aske me how.
Of course, Data was with the good boys. Being himself a good boy, he would never accept that... altought, he not only admites he considered her offer indeed, but also regrets her death.

Borg Queen: Are you familiar with physical forms of pleasure?
Data: If you are referring to sexuality, I am... fully functional, programmed in... multiple techniques.
Borg Queen: How long since you've used them?
Data: Eight years, seven months, sixteen days, four minutes, twenty-two...
Borg Queen: Far too long.
[kisses him]

12. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Stre... (2007)

Mr.Todd & Mrs.Lovett

Since his wife was claimed dead, Sweeney Todd felt quite satisfied seeking his revenge and having Mrs. Lovett by his side. Even so, he never seemed to care for her love. When he found out she had lied to him about her wife's destiny, he throws her into the oven, with o regrets.

"There was a barber and his wife/And he was beautiful" ('Poor Thing', sang by Mrs. Lovett).

13. Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chro... (1994)

Claudia & Louis
(Kirsten Dunst & Brad Pitt)



Claudia was turned into a vampire when she was a 6-year-old girl. Altought her appearence remained sweet and innocent, her mind did not. With a woman mind inside a child body, she were not only considered a freak, but also could never be with Louis (since he could never really see her as an adult).
Her grief for being turned into a vampire so young made her seek revenge over Lestat and become obsessed by adult women's bodies.

14. King Kong (1933)

Ann & Kong
(Fay Wray & ?)

Suggested by ♥ CHANi

Despite what all the posters makes you think, Kong never meant to harm Ann. Wich is pretty sweet, coming from a giant furious primate.
Ann started to care for him back, of course. Even if you consider that they could never be actually a couple, that mutual caring makes them a pair wierd & cute enought to be in this list.

Description

Some movies have those most remarkable couples... not because they're a perfect match, but for the exact opposite. Obsession, interests, madness and tragedy are living aspects of their stories. I present to you a selection of the most unusual or unexpected couples I've ever seen.
