Just rewatched this one today and couldn't stop thinking that this must be the most gorgeous couple I've ever seen in my life. Brad and Angie don't even come close to those two.
We'll see whose the filthiest person alive! We'll just see!

I've never thought Paul Newman a particularly good looking man; it's his vivid blue eyes that makes people overrate his looks.
Elizabeth is unbelievably gorgeous in this movie, though.
And back to your question...
Tyrone Power and Gene Tierney
Ray Milland and Dorothy Lamour
Robert Taylor and Hedy Lamarr
Cary Grant and Jean Harlow
and of course,
Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor
Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner in The Killers(?) I'm too lazy to check.
Paul Newman isn't a good looking guy? Time for an eye exam. They don't get much better looking than Paul Newman. Hubba hubba.

I just watched this again for the first time in a long time and I cannot believe how unbelievably drop dead, hubba hubba, borderline cheesy, unrealistically HOT Paul Newman was in this movie.
My God.
I am not overrating ANYTHING when it comes to that man.
^that's the exact same reason people overrate Liz though. Her features are plain whereas her coloring is exotic.
Paul however was nicelooking imo.

well, it WAS an on-screen couple only. none of either of their real-life mates helped make such a handsome couple. i like joanne woodward and all, but she never compared to liz at that age.

...maybe not better than Newman and Taylor but there a few of my favorites.
Mother Juggs and speed, is it mother Juggs and speed?
Agree that they were both absolutely gorgeous in this movie. I can't keep my eyes off of either of them. But she also looked very good with Rock Hudson in Giant.
Two of my all-time favorites looked great together: Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen in Love with the Proper Stranger.(He may have not been handsome in a classic way, but I loved his looks and thought he was very sexy).
Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck... eeeeeeeeeeaaaasily. The most attractive couple in history.
Bennifer Affleck (naturally, their girls are soooooooooooooooooo cute, little versions of their mom and dad)
Ron Perlman and Selma Blair
Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow
"I never confuse gentleness with weakness."
I agree, they are perfect in this movie and both are absolutely stunning. Brad and Angelina shouldn't even be mentioned in the same context (two more overrated people - in looks and acting ability - have never before been seen).
Other than Paul and Liz, I think the most beautiful pairings are:
Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier in Fire Over England (I don't think a real-life couple has ever been more beautiful)
Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire (never has a man exuded sexuality more than Brando in this role)
Grace Kelly and Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief
I completely agree with your choices.
Also: Burt Lancaster and Gina Lollobrigida in Trapeze. And Tony Curtis - gorgeous threesome!
For a more recent combo:
Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones in Zorro. Stunning.
Marcello Mastroianni and Anouk Aimee. La Dolce Vita and also 8 1/2 but they were better looking in the first one...
