Live Poll: The Bonnie & Clyde Syndrome
Intro:
In America's 1930s, a gangster couple called Bonnie & Clyde raged around in several US states in criminal action. Based on the criminal character of these two lovers partnership, Bonny & Clyde became a sysonym for a couple that acts inseperable together in crime. Some movie took advantage of the story of Bonnie & Clyde by using the schema. This time we aimed for straight as LGBTQ+ couples as well.
Which of these Bonnie & Clyde variations is your favorite?
Report suspicious actions here.
Suggestions:
Movies, no tv-series, no documentations. LGBTQ+ couples wanted, as well as straight characters.

Breumaster,
This is an interesting concept for a poll.
Please make these corrections:
Based on the criminal character of these two lovers partnership, Bonny & Clyde became a synonym for a couple that acts inseparable together in crime. Some movies took advantage of the story of Bonnie & Clyde by using the schema.

Clarence and Alabama in True Romance (1993)
For original story, you might want to use Bonnie and Clyde (1967) or that as a separate option.

Great idea for a poll, Breu! I'd vote for the Thelma & Louise but I don't think they really fit because they weren't a couple so I'd vote for the Beatty/Dunaway version of Bonnie & Clyde. Is there a reason you don't have that film in the slot of "original version?" I didn't see The Highwaymen but, by definition, they're not the original Bonnie & Clyde. If they fit the criteria, shouldn't The Highwaymen have their own space?
Also, may I suggest two small edits?

(I guess it's ok that you include "This time we aimed..." but it's not necessary because it simply means all couples.)

I agree that when you refer to lovers or couples, both Thelma & Louise and Dog Day Afternoon are questionable options.
