Oedipus and his mom?
Mary Magdalene and Jesus? Maybe not, I don't wanna offend anybody, here....
King Kong and that girl at the top of the building?
...Aragorn and Arwen?
...Leia and Han Solo?

My suggestions are getting a little ridiculous; just wanted to throw them out there in case they triggered anything else.

Oh, something sort of legit: Lolita and Humbert Humbert.
