The trap
The headlines at the time read "Catherine Zeta-Jones seduces Sean Connery in The Trap." And indeed: that's how he did it in this action movie and in which romance also had an important presence. Despite the 40-year difference between the two, sparks were flying.
Love in the afternoon
Two of our favorite actors of all time, Audrey Hepburn and Gary Cooper, are in a movie directed and written by the great Billy Wilder. Can a romance be classic and atypical at the same time? Yes, if we have all the right ingredients and in the case of this film there is also an underlying criticism of double standards and hypocrisy.
Autumn in New York
Winona Ryder plays Charlotte, a sick young woman of only 21 years old who wants to make the most of her life. Richard Gere is Will, a playboy in his late 50s and the best friend of Charlotte's godmother. Despite the age difference between the two, 21 years, and the fact that our romantic heroine laughs at his age at the beginning of the film, they both end up falling in love and making us cry with his sentimental story.
Gangster Squad
We love Sean Penn and Emma Stone but as a couple? When this film was shot Emma Stone was 25 years old, only three years older than Penn's eldest daughter. Normally, we make our eyes chiribitas when we see them together on the screen.
Seven Days, Seven Nights
27 years separated Harrison Ford and Anne Heche when they starred in this film in which she played a stylish New York editor who suffered an accident on an island along with the pilot who was transporting her.
Lost in Translation
It is one of our favorite movies and we love the relationship established between its two protagonists, two people lost in Tokyo and in their own lives who meet in a hotel and become friends. Nothing seems to separate the characters played by Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, even though he is 52 years old and she is 18.
The graduate
At last! Finally, a film in which the age difference is the opposite of what we are used to. And we are also talking about a mythical film, with Dustin Hoffman and an incredible Anne Bancroft. Although in the film it seemed that there was more distance between the ages of the two protagonists and their adventure broke the mold, in real life, he was 29 and she was 36.
