That bittersweet, neurotic, and utterly charming look at love, Annie Hall, arrives on Blu-ray last month. Woody Allen's 1977 film is one most of us can identify with, especially when it comes to all the anticipation, insecurities, and uncertainties of a new relationship.

We wanted to examine other odd couples on film, with an eye toward the pairings that made it work. Check out our picks below.
