Who among us hasn't despaired, at one time or another, of finding true love? If only we could look beyond the obvious - other people - and appreciate the opportunities presented by non-humans. That's just what Tom Hanks does in Splash, when he meets his soulmate in the form of mermaid Daryl Hannah. 

The hilarious, charming, and surprisingly suspenseful 1984 film, directed by Ron Howard and written by the ace screenwriting team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (Parenthood, A League of Their Own, EDTV), is showing tomorrow and Monday on AMC. 

But finding a fish-lady isn't the only way to go (and Splash isn't even the only example of it: witness 1989's The Little Mermaid).

After the jump, choose your favorite unlikely couple.
