As years go by, movies keep surprising us with a whole new genre of love stories, decade after decade. After going through love stories taking place between two people belonging to different societies (Romeo & Juliet), financial backgrounds (Titanic) and even age-groups (American Beauty), we saw love stories of people belonging to the same sex (Plan B). As if all of this drama wasn’t enough, we get to see yet another way love can take place. And that is between two different species. Here we have a list of movies and television series that tell us love tales taking place between two different species. Listed below are 10 of the best interspecies love stories Hollywood has ever shown us.
Twilight
1. Twilight
The fascinating Twilight series that began in 2008 brought forth a new kind of love. This was a kind of love that doesn't necessarily take place between two human beings. This love story was between a vampire and a human. In spite of the obstacles and in spite of being complete opposites, their love is awe-inspiring!
Splash
2. Splash
Splash is a love story that dwells under the sea. The story begins with a mermaid saving the life of a man. And then a sweet love affair begins! Like every love story, this one too has its villains in the form of guys who want to capture the mermaid for their own selfish reasons. But as they say, true love wins in the end!
Avatar
3. Avatar
Released in 2009, this film is the love story taking place between a human and an Avatar. They meet for the first time when the female Avatar saves the male human's life from some aliens. Coming from two completely different worlds yet sharing a connection so deep is truly heart touching.
Galaxy Quest
4. Galaxy Quest
In 1999, we saw a love story that took place between a Thermian and a human. In this hilarious sci-fi, we not only were immensely amused but we also couldn't help but smile looking at the love between the two characters. The cutest thing about this pair was that they didn't even have to say anything to each other. Their extremely passionate gazes were more than enough to sense their feelings for each other.
Beauty and the Beast
5. Beauty and the Beast
This film might have been released some time back, but this love story has been known for generations! One of the most wonderful love stories of all time took place between a human and a beast! This love story broke all barriers when it came to the physical appearance of a person. This wonderful love story just had to be made into a movie! And we all loved it, didn't we?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
This television series that went on from 1997 until 2003 brought forth the love story between a human (Angel) and a vampire slayer (Buffy). Their love story too is rather sweet. And although they too faced obstacles in the form of Angel's dark side, Angelus, it just wasn't enough to stop them from falling in love with each other.
Underworld
7. Underworld
Even if nothing else touches your heart, this 2003 love story definitely will. In a world where there is a war taking place between Vampires and Lycans, two individuals coming from two enemy worlds dare to fall in love. Sweet, ain't it?
After all true love is hard to find. So just when you thought maybe you should give up on finding true love, your area of options has just widened. If you don’t find your mate among human beings, you always have guys like vampires, beasts and mermaids! Just kidding!
