Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in The Way We Were

The Way We Were (1973)

Though differences in outlook and personality are what initially attract the intense Katie and the WASPY, sheltered Hubbell (the chemistry between Redford and Streisand is undeniable), ultimately these differences prove too much for them to overcome.

“The final scene gets me every time: Katie and Hubbell run into each other years after they've split. He has a glamorous new woman on his arm. She tells him, wistfully, 'Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.'"
