Love for Rent

Puppy Love: Lady and the Tramp (1955)

A pampered cocker spaniel runs away with a street-wise mutt in Disney's uptown-meets-downtown animated love story. When circumstances become unmuzzled, the two dogs go on the lam, only to be brought to justice by the local dogcatcher. Don't worry: All ends happily, and the circle of love in the Darling household grows exponentially. Along the way, the pups create one of the most enduring images of romantic love when the young lovers chew on opposite ends of a strand of spaghetti while staring deeply into each other's eyes. One slurp and you're hooked. – Marjorie Baumgarten
