But she was always smitten with — every bit Frank Miller one time chosen him — the Big Bluish Schoolboy. As for what attracted the Smothers Brother from Some other Planet, the hard-nosed newspaper reporter is a driblet-dead gorgeous apotheosis of the American Dream itself (and then good luck with your Wonder Woman fling, Man of Steel). —Marc Bernardin

A mouthy space princess packing heat and the grumpy, every bit armed space pirate who loved her. It doesn't get any more epic (or hot) than Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford). While their relationship could have hands gotten lost among the disharmonism of lightsabers and mumblings of Jedi puppets, it was the achingly understated substitution between Han (on his way to a carbonite bath) and Leia (powerless to stop it) that spoke volumes. She loved him. He knew. Catamenia. (Know what as well helps in a human relationship? Not being related.) —Dafna Pleban
