[Section9]

I've been trying to think of unconventional relationships in films (be them as a couple, or maybe just due to circumstance) and how the characters develop as result of the pairing.

The first one that came to mind for me, only because I watched it the other day, was Carter (Chris Tucker) and Lee (Jackie Chan) from Rush hour. Very much a opposites attract despite the situation, in my opinion.

Another one, and a complete polar opposite, is Chained. The relationship is a boy being held against their will and made to follow rules of their captor in a less than welcoming environment for 10 years.

Any others that come to mind or standout for you guys?

Blondie and Tuco in The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. They seem to spend most of their relationship double-crossing and trying to kill each other. Almost like a marriage

Pretty much every movie ever made contains an 'unconventional' relationship.
