The sun sets on the British Empire…

Per Variety.com: “When Harry Met Sally stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal have been voted the greatest on-screen couple of all time in a new poll. The sizzling chemistry between the pair in the 1989 romantic comedy beat out competition from second-placed Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart, for their romance in the Oscar-winning 1942 classic Casablanca. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere came third for their team-up in hit 1990 movie Pretty Woman, in the poll commissioned by British chain store Woolworths.”

Oh, cruel fate. Here it is, Timothy Dalton’s birthday, and his pairing with Mae West in Sextette is ignored in favor of three total poser couples.

    Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal beat Bogart and Bergman?!?!?!?

    The world is spinning off its axis as we speak.

    Who voted in this thing??? Eleven-year-olds whose hormones haven’t gotten past “girls are yucky”?

  • It does sort of boggle the mind, doesn’t it?

    Roberts and Gere isn’t much better, especially for that hideous movie.
