Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar
Brokeback Mountain
What started as a simple, two-man job to tend to a flock of sheep on cold and desolate Brokeback Mountain led to a heartbreaking, decades-long love affair between boyish, ebullient Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) and quiet, contemplative Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger). Yet while the time and circumstance of 1960s Wyoming limited the unlikely lovers to tortured fits of happiness on their occasional ''fishing trips'' together, their Oscar-nominated tale won a permanent place in the hearts of modern moviegoers. —Michael Slezak
