Meet Cute It Happened One Night A famous and spoiled heiress played by Claudette Colbert has just escaped her overbearing father to meet her gold-digging husband. During the bus ride, she meets Clark Gable as a journalist who has just been fired, and who blackmails her when he sees the scoop.

Meet Cute Trainwreck Yes, yes, Amy Schumer, we know, but Trainwreck is a funny romcom with a great meet cute. Schumer's character is assigned to do a piece on a trendy doctor to the sports stars played by Bill Hader, and the scene that ensues is a great showcase for both comedians' talents. Schumer in particular, has some great line delivery. CRACKED.COM — Source

32

Meet Cute Out of Sight In this unjustly forgotten crime comedy, Jennifer Lopez plays federal agent Karen Sisco, and George Clooney plays career criminal Jack Foley. Early in the movie, they end up locked in a trunk talking about the life of crime and movies, and the sexy-ass music director Steven Soderbergh adds to the scene certainly does not hurt the insane chemistry between them.

31

Meet Cute Titanic Kate Winslet's Rose wants to escape an arranged marriage with villainous Billy Zane, and then dreamy Leo DiCaprio comeds to banter his way into her not jumping in deadly ice water. Not a romcom, but definitely a meet cute CRACKED.COM — Source

Meet Cute Brief Encounter A lonely housewife falls in love with a handsome stranger after they keep bumping into each other at a train station. They meet when she gets some grit in her eye after a train passes by, and the doctor removes it. It's, well, a brief encounter, and it encapsulates their impossible love. CRACKED.COM — Source

29

Meet Cute Harold and Maude Death-obsessed teenager Harold likes to crash random funerals, and he meets hilarious, carefree Maude. The movie is profoundly sad and joyful at once, and the scene where they meet is just perfect. Today's genre-subverting romcoms have nothing on Harold and Maude. CRACKED.COM — Source

28

Meet Cute Romeo + Juliet Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo is fascinated by a fish tank, and a million times more by Claire Danes' Juliet on the other side. They stare at each other in a very pure scene about the life- changing novelty of first love, like those gazing scenes in Twilight, but actually good. CRACKED.COM — Source

27

Meet Cute The Holiday This movie has plenty of meet cutes, but Eli Wallach's Arthur meeting Kate Winslet's Iris is by far the best. She gives the older man a ride, and after talking about movies he dishes out he was a screenwriter in old-timey Hollywood. When they arrive at Arthur's, he says that was a lovely meet cute-and explains the concept. CRACKED.COM — Source

26

Meet Cute Submarine Directed by The IT Crowd's Richard Ayoade, this coming-of-age dramedy perfectly captures teenage anxiety. Young Oliver has a crush for Jordana, who figures out she can use him to make his ex-boyfriend jealous. She invites him under the rail bridge and asks him to bring his Polaroid camera. Once there, she kisses him and takes photos - and bam, he's in love. CRACKED.COM — Source

Meet Cute Love Actually Even playing one of the most powerful men in the world, Hugh Grant can still pull off his classic bumbling dweeb shtick.

It's all very sweet, even if the power dynamics involved are kinda icky. CRACKED.COM — Source

24

Meet Cute Imagine Me and You Piper Perabo and Lena Headey meet on the day of the former's wedding. Their very first interaction consists in Heady sticking her hand in a bowl of punch to retrieve Perabo's missing wedding ring, just as the bride is harassed by her new husband's slimy boss.

23

Meet Cute Silver Linings Playbook In this dramatic romcom about ballroom dancing and mental illness, Jennifer Lawrence's Tiffany meets Bradley Cooper's Pat during dinner at her sister's. They are both messes with no people skills, so they first annoy each other, but then immediately hit it off with the most adorable topic there is-psychiatric medications. CRACKED.COM — Source

22

Meet Cute 500 Days of Summer This is less a meet cute than a project-all-your- fantasies-onto-a-random-girl cute, but hey, it's still cute. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is listening to music when Zooey Deschanel gets in the elevator, interrupts him, and even sings The Smiths back at him. Alright, we take the snark back, we totally get it. CRACKED.COM — Source

21

Meet Cute The Spectacular Now Miles Teller's Sutter is woken up by Shailene Woodley's Aimee after passing out drunk in a random front yard.

20

Meet Cute Bringing Up Baby This screwball classic has a square paleontologist (played by Cary Grant) meeting a quirky millionaire (played Katharine Hepburn) at a golf course, just as the latter picks up Grant's ball.

19

Meet Cute 22 Jump Street Channing Tatum's Greg Jenko and Wyatt Russell's Zook have the sweetest of meet cutes. Greg is cleaning his ear with a Q-tip while Zook is eating a meat sandwich, and when they bumps into each other, the sandwich falls to the groundand becomes a meat q-tip sandwich.

18

Meet Cute Pride & Prejudice Elizabeth Bennet is introduced to stick-up- his-ass bearer Mr. Darcy during a ball, and she later eavesdrops on him calling her barely tolerable. Then, they have a brief exchange on poetry, love, and dancing, and she outsmarts him and even repeats his words back to him. The aloof snob is then done. CRACKED.COM — Source

17

Meet Cute When Harry Met Sally Of course the meet cute in the Platonic ideal of the romantic comedy is perfect. Sally gives Harry a ride from Chicago to New York, and the brilliant Nora Ephron-penned script has them talking about sex, Casablanca, and sex in Casablanca, and they soon realize they can't stand each other. Well, she can't stand him, he just wants to hook up. CRACKED.COM — Source

16

Meet Cute Annie Hall Alvy Singer can't understand why his relationship with Annie ended. When they first met at tennis doubles, she was eager to give him a ride (not an euphemism).

15

Symbiotic Relationships Justice League Unlimited Lex Luthor & Brainiac Two of Superman's greatest villains get merged into an anime techno squid/golden android with the ruthless logic of Brainiac and the imaginative magnetism of Lex Luthor. An actual threat to the Justice League, which is kinda rare. CRACKED.COM — Source

14

Symbiotic Relationships Nickelodeon CatDog The perfect merging of pets for cat lovers and dog lovers without any of the poop issues (somehow). It'd be difficult to determine when you can pet the dog part without the cat part hissing at you, though. CRACKED.COM — Source

13

Symbiotic Relationships Dragon Ball Z Gogeta What's better than one Super Saiyan? How about two sandwiched together? While this fusion didn't settle the whole Goku versus Vegeta debate among DBZ fans, it's still kinda nice to see this happen in a Reese's Cup You got Goku in my Vegeta/You got Vegeta in my Goku way. CRACKED.COM — Source

12

Symbiotic Relationships Mortal Kombat Ferra & Torr They may seem like a knockoff Master Blaster from Mad Max 2, but these two are actually part of an Outworld species in which a rider merges with a mount, until the rider transforms into a giant near-mindless brute as their mount dies, needing a rider of their own. It's an odd circle of life (death?). CRACKED.COM — Source

11

Symbiotic Relationships Marvel The Hulk Depending on who's writing him, Hulk is either Bruce Banner or another entity/ personality sharing a body with Bruce Banner. If it's the latter, it's sometimes cool to see Banner take control of the brain while using the Hulk body, or whenever Hulk decides to become mob enforcer Joe Fixit. CRACKED.COM — Source

10

Symbiotic Relationships DC Comics Firestorm This superhero is a walking science lesson in a near-literal sense since it's a merging of high schooler Ronnie Raymond and physicist Professor Martin Stein. Imagine having all the power to bend physics, molecules, and thermodynamics but you have to share your consciousness with your third period home room teacher. Hard pass. CRACKED.COM — Source

9

Symbiotic Relationships Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Jadzia Dax Jadzia is the Trill host of a symbiont that has the memories of several different previous hosts. It's gotta feel like a dead stranger left you all their old photos and home videos to be jacked into your brain, along with whatever skills they had à la The Matrix. CRACKED.COM — Source

8

Symbiotic Relationships DC Comics Parallax '90s kids think Parallax was Hal Jordan losing his mind and getting Mr. Fantastic white streaks in his hair, but it was revealed later that Parallax is the merging of the embodiment of the yellow colored fear with Hal's body.

7

Symbiotic Relationships Marvel Venom Whether it's pairing up to take on Spider-Man in the comics or to take on their individual near-incel-level loser lives in the films, Venom is likely the first character you thought of when you read symbiotic. CRACKED.COM — Source

6

Symbiotic Relationships Marvel Superior Spider-Man In a critically acclaimed story arc, Doc Ock got his consciousness into Peter Parker's body and became a Superior Spider-Man, yet good ol' Pete lived on in Otto's new brain (which was actually Peter's old brain, but moving on). CRACKED.COM — Source

5

Symbiotic Relationships Total Recall Kuato & George George must have a garbage life. Not only does he have to eat for two, but his stomach-brother is the leader of a resistance movement.

4

Symbiotic Relationships Metal Gear Solid series Liquid Ocelot Liquid Snake wasn't killed in MGS but somehow lived on by having his corpse's arm attached to the living Revolver Ocelot, then taking over Ocelot's body. Like with anything involving Hideo Kojima, it's best not to think about it too hard. CRACKED.COM — Source

3

Symbiotic Relationships Marvel Deadpool & Madcap The second voice in Deadpool's head voice turned out to be Madcap, a villain with similar healing abilities The two were zapped to ashes by Thor, then their ashes mixed and healed together. Comics logic > science, y'all. CRACKED.COM — Source

2

Symbiotic Relationships Toxic Crusaders Headbanger Picture needing a college roommate and you get the best of both worlds: a fun surfer dude that'll throw great parties and a science nerd to help with your studies.
