00:04Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most notable times
00:09one or both characters break off, or their chance to be together is lost forever.
00:14While tragic, this list doesn't include couples separated by death.
00:18Some spoilers ahead for these romances.
00:21I don't know how to say goodbye.
00:23If you're anything like us, the ending to Pretty in Pink doesn't sit well with you.
00:36It's a 1980s classic, but we sometimes think Ducky got a raw deal.
00:48John Cryer's character escorts Andy into the dance,
00:51and then lets her go to Blaine.
00:53It's a mature move for a sidekick that's so smitten by the hero.
00:57He came here alone.
01:02Okay, you're right.
01:05He's not like the others.
01:06While Molly Ringwald's protagonist lives out her fantasy,
01:09her friend watches his dreams get crushed.
01:11The film then hints at Ducky's future with someone else, despite all the trouble.

01:53so I'll take over the class for the rest of the term.
01:56When the teacher disappears without explanation,
01:58the ranch hand tracks her down to a faraway law office.
02:02Lily Gladstone's character doesn't say much,
02:04but it's clear she feels some connection with the instructor.
02:07When the two meet for the last time, the lawyer doesn't reciprocate any feelings.
02:11I don't mean to keep you from getting to work or anything.
02:14I just knew if I didn't start driving, I wasn't going to see you again.
02:18I didn't want that.
02:21That's all.
02:24It's a heartbreaking moment of unrequited love.
02:27With so little dialogue, the expressions alone tell the whole story.

03:33Will she go to him or stay with her old life?
03:36The decision might be more complicated, but it's no less powerful to watch.
03:41For a moment, I didn't know where I was.
03:45And for a split second, the thought crossed my mind that he really didn't want me.
03:50But it was easy to walk away.
