The Film: Cleopatra (1963)
The Inappropriate: The matter of duty and honour makes this one of the most famously tragic inappropriate couples.
Antony belongs to Rome, but he is bewitched by Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt. Their love is literally the thing of legend.
How They Make It Work: Upon hearing that Cleopatra has died (a plan hatched by the very-much-alive Queen), Antony attempts to kill himself, and dies in her arms.
Unable to bear the pain, Cleopatra poisons herself and joins her lover in the afterlife.
