"Time After Time," with Malcom McDowell and Mary Steenburgen. The one with H. G. Wells and Jack the Ripper.
(Not to be confused, although many people do, with "Somewhere in Time," with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.)
And I like BOTH of those movies..great picks. The music to SOMEWHERE IN TIME is one of the best soundtracks of all time...IMO

My family sometimes goes out to the little island in Michigan where they filmed
Somewhere In Time... lovely place. And with fudge stores on every corner, what's not to like?
Anyway... I agree with some of the choices already mentioned here (Han and Leia, Mulder and Scully, Aragorn and Arwen), but I'll also add:
-Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor in
The Terminator. That scene where he bares his soul to Sarah in the motel, right before they make love, is subdued yet quite powerful. And Sarah's recording -- "In the few hours we had together, we loved a lifetime's worth...". Beautiful.
-Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen (those would be the actors' names, obviously) in John Carpenter's
Starman, a very underrated little film. In fact, I think it's one of Carpenter's best, and definitely one of the best sci-fi romances ever made. We have Allen, the grieving widow, who slowly falls in love with this strange alien who has sampled her late husband's DNA and assumed his form; and we have Bridges, as the alien, who throughout the film learns what it is to love as he reciprocates Allen's feelings, and, in the end, gives her an incredible gift. It is a very touching story, IMO, and one that is enhanced greatly by the strong performances by the two leads.
