Line 89:
* Captain von Trapp and Maria in ''[[The Sound of Music]]''.
* ''[[The Great Race]]''. The Great Leslie - charming male chauvinist. Maggie DuBois - militant women's libber. How can they '''not''' fall in love?
* ''[[Enchanted]]'': Both Giselle and Robert are kindred spirits (they’re both deeply compassionate), but Giselle is initially naive and Robert is initially cynical. Fortunately, they both learn from each other…so much so they ended up getting married.▼
* ''[[Tangled]]'' gives us the jaded, worldly-wise thief and the spirited, innocent princess.
* ''[[WALL-E]]'' has [[The Woobie]] Wall-E and [[Action Girl]] EVE. Both were built for a similar purpose, however.
▲* [[Enchanted]]: Both Giselle and Robert are kindred spirits (they’re both deeply compassionate), but Giselle is initially naive and Robert is initially cynical. Fortunately, they both learn from each other…so much so they ended up getting married.

Line 99 ⟶ 98:
* [[Star Wars|Luke Skywalker]] and [[Expanded Universe|Mara Jade]]. Mara even ''says'' it, for crying out loud!
* Brainy ambitious women regularly find [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]]'s [[Upper Class Twit]] [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Bertie Wooster]] romantically irresistible.
* Kenneth Oppel's ''[[Airborn]]'' series has Matt Cruse, poor cabin boy, and Kate de Vries, rich wanna-be scientist... cue angsting about how they [[Star-Crossed Lovers|can never be together...]]
* This seems to be the driving force behind Zavahl's and Ailie's relationship in the [[Shadowleague]] books- he has the personality of a bad rainstorm, whereas she is never seen to frown.
* From
* ''[[The 39 Clues]]''. Ian is a [[Handsome Devil]], [[Upper Class Wit|mega-rich]], [[Evil Brit|an Evil Brit]], and a [[Momma's Boy]]. Amy is a [[Shrinking Violet]], [[Smart Girl|pretty smart]], poor, and [[Heartwarming Orphan|an orphan]]. She apparently always found him attractive, but [[I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me|when he actually started flirting with her]], it was, of course, [[I Was Only Pretending to Like You|a trick]]. And then came [[Unrequited Love Switcheroo|a whole new]] [[My Beloved Smother|set of complications]].
** Also, [[The Big Guy|Hamilton]] and [[Teen Genius|Sinead]] was hinted a bit in Book 10.
