15. Mickey And Mallory Knox- Natural Born Killers
I know that each place on the list should correspond with only one character, but when it comes to Mickey and Mallory, you cant talk about one without the other. They were the 90s version of Bonnie and Clyde, and in terms of how madly in love they are, they even draw parallels to Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, especially as the finale of that particular play, with its stabbings, blood and death, isnt too far off a violent Tarantino scene. Tarantino seems to like to partner certain characters together, and when the match is perfect, as it is with Jules and Vincent, Django and Schultz and of course Mickey and Mallory, Tarantino manages to create some of the most iconic duos in modern cinema. Though Mickey and Mallory Knox go around the states slaughtering people, always leaving one survivor to tell the tale, there is something still likeable about them. It might be their intense and almost adolescent relationship, or that their criminal acts are more down to their terrible upbringing, or because the fact that, and this is an important message of the film, modern media can take criminals and psychos, and by putting them in the spotlight and treating them like they are something special, instead of being something wrong, can end up making them celebrities and even likeable. Nevertheless Mickey and Mallory are certainly one of cinema's more unusual romantic couples.
