Dancing to “Mondo Bongo”
Our firstMr . & Mrs. Smithentry should come as no surprisal , given that the scene where John and Jane toast to " dodging bullets " is one of the most romantic scenes ever to sneak its way into an action motion-picture show . In the sequence , the two clink glasses and make tiresome catlike advance toward one another on an outdoor dance floor while sexy music plays in the desktop . It ’s safe . Almost too good . As one YouTube commenter from five months ago explain , “ It ’s like watching how they fall in making love . ” Insert kiss emoji .
The fight/sex scene only they could pull off
The movie that brought Brad and Angelina together merit a 2nd mention . The picture in question – the one with guns , explosions , ass - boot , ironic toying , and a feeling of " we just demolish our designer kitchen , can we please contain now ? " – go on as the hubby and married woman assassins discover one another ’s dead on target personal identity . They get by and fight with " press out Yourself " playing on the soundtrack . John eggs on his wife with a “ come in to daddy ” plea . Jane counters with a shot to the head , a head - butt , and a kick into a dinette set . Her perfectly pitched response of “ Who ’s your daddy now ? ” is not only heyday Jolie , but peak everything . It should have earned her an Oscar .
Even their vacations looked like photo shoots
In 2006 , with their tike in tow , the couple acquire a trip to Mumbai , where something else happened : fashion . With Maddox riding high on Brad ’s shoulder joint ( perhaps at rest ) and Angie looking on in trouble , the birth of something new and exciting took conformation : the idea of kids on our shoulders being the newfangled scarves . Do it . Try it .
Brad and Angelina’s Super Bowl moment
you’re able to search YouTube for clips of the New Orleans Saints upsetting the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami , but what you wo n’t bump is a moment more cozy and life - affirming than the plot itself : the duo who learn football together , stays together . Cheering for the Saints , it ’s as if everyone and everything in that press box willed the Saints to an improbable victory : beanie ( stop ) , goatee ( check ) , bottles of Aquafina ( check ) , son Maddox ( verification ) , well-chosen couple with their mouths agape ( stoppage ) .
Owning their celebrity atWorld War Z’s Berlin premiere
This is , perhaps , felicity corporal . The feeling of having survive something , not just fictional zombie and one of the mostdisastrousfilm shoots in recent years , but Brad and Angelina ’s willingness to brave it all as a couple . What we ’ll remember most aboutWorld state of war Zis that it was n’t very good , and hopefully the eventual sequel can right some of the wrongs . This was n’t reflected at the premiere of the film back in 2013 , where Brad and Angie looked happy – like , hymeneals solar day glad . It ’s as if they ’re nearing the end of a race , closing in on the finis line with the same grin , the same hair , and the dream of split the same dessert from elbow room service later that night . In terms of looking happy with shades in your sass , it ’s impossible to top .
The audacity of “his” and “hers” tuxedos
A yoke wearing matching outfits to a glitzy case was bound to encounter at some point , though we would n’t have predicted Brad and Angelina . Perhaps they practiced it at home on many occasions before properly unveil it to the populace . Either elbow room , they pluck it off at the 2014 British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Opera House in London . We can take umbrage with the fact that the couple would have the nerve to pull a stunt like this aside from American grease , but that just seems unreasonable .
The day Brad and Angelina actually got married
After year of partnership and 20,000 questions on the guinea pig , Brad and Angelina at last married in 2014 . An emotional and highly anticipated 24-hour interval would release dark in the wake of Angie announcing in 2015 that she and Brad were already marry before their ceremony in France . But it did n’t matter , the human activity was done and there was nothing that could commute it . Just bet at the photo of the newlyweds and their family unit – I number two the great unwashed who seem happy , one somebody who appears present ( Brad ) , and five hoi polloi who seem altogether over it . And now , what once was beautiful has wilt in front of us . mayhap the tyke saw it coming all along , but on that day ( or whenever they actually tied the grayback ) , they promised womb-to-tomb dedication to one another .
Letting loose in the epic Oscar selfie
It was a joyous moment that stop with 32.8 million opinion . You know the name , you know the faces , you know12 Years a Slavewon Best Picture that evening . There ’s some foreshadowing in that selfie that brought grinning and " renown are just like us ! " mentalities to the table . Brad is n’t front and center , but at least he ’s noticeable . Angie is obscured behind Lupita Nyong’o ’s brother ’s particular haircut , her hand sit in the air ( hymeneals ring present ) , ghostlike . In a emptiness , it felt like a freeing moment for Brad and Angie – Christ Within and festive . Now it seems a petty premonition .
The lustful bickering ofBy the Sea
Say what you will aboutBy the Sea , Angie ’s directorial follow - up toUnbroken , but let ’s get one thing straight : it made peepholes great again . As Roland and Vanessa , a fractured couple draw near their breaking tip during a seaside vacation in France , Brad and Angie rekindled sexual rage by espy on passionate newlyweds bide next door . After watch the trailer forBy the Sea , I think the big reveal would be that either Roland or Vanessa buy the ill-timed trade name of cigaret , triggering alarm . It turn out that the big reveal is that the movie is really good . Marital fear and anxiousness all swirling around at a escargot ’s pace , all made better by spying on the dyad next door . If only the actual lifespan couple could have discover their own peephole .
