MOST ROMANTIC MOVIE COUPLES

Chemistry. That's what it all comes down to. When the leading lady and the leading man look at each other and the audience can feel the smoldering heat, that's chemistry. And the onscreen couple that is the most romantic is Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in "Titanic" with 23% of the vote in a "Best in Film" survey jointly conducted by ABC News and People magazine. The top five most romantic movie couples:

1. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in "Titanic," 23 percent
As star-crossed lovers Jack and Rose, DiCaprio and Winslet not only broke box office records in the 1997 movie "Titanic," but also a lot of hearts in the memorable and steamy (literally!) love scenes.

2. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in "Gone With the Wind," 15%
With her flashing eyes and beautiful face and his roguish good looks, Leigh and Gable will live forever as Scarlett O'Hara and Clark Gable in the 1939 film "Gone With the Wind."

3. Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman," 14%
This is the modern-day Cinderella story about the impossibly rich, hardnosed businessman Edward Lewis and the scrappy and beautiful hooker Vivian Ward, played so expertly in the 1990 film, "Pretty Woman," by Gere and Roberts that they went on to star together in "The Runaway Bride."

4. Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in "Casablanca," 12%
Morocco. World War II. A smoky nightclub. A piano. Mix together with the star power of Bogart and Bergman playing former lovers, Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund, and you have the 1942 classic "Casablanca."

5. Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, 10%
Tracy and Hepburn were so dynamic on screen that they starred together in nine films, beginning with "Woman of the Year" in 1942, as well as "Without Love" and "Adam's Rib."
