"There is something undeniably romantic about the notion of falling deeply in love with someone, flipping a huge middle finger to society together, and running off on a blood-splattered joyride to nowhere in particular while hoards of angry parents, policemen, or bounty hunters try to hunt you down.
Criminal couples in love only have each other to count on as they attempt to burn the world down around them, and there's something of an adolescent beauty and innocence about it. The films on this list all have this theme in common, and come from directors as diverse as Terrence Malick, Sam Peckinpah, and David Lynch.
Some of these films celebrate and glorify this theme, others use it as a cautionary tale that ends in bloodshed, and some of them find a middle ground that manages to do both. Regardless, all the films on this list have one thing in common: two people in love, fighting against the world to stay that way".
