This is part one of this topic as I think there are many angles to approaching this subject. All I really have to say is that Wikipedia has a topic on this and therefor it is worth exploring. 
Romeo and Juliet is an obvious example of this phenomenon and I would like to think that this was the case between the lead characters in one of my favorite movies, Contact.
Wikipedia also provided some songs related to this :
I had lunch with a friend today and he claimed to have experienced this magnetic attraction on several occassions over the last year. For me, it has happened less than I can count on one hand. The latest experience is something I need to think about more because it was unexpected and inconvenient timing. I think that’s when it happens though – when it is least expected. You can’t look for it or even hope it will happen, and you definitely can’t control it when it does.

If you want to see the sheer power of magnetism in action, rent The Thomas Crown Affair (the 1999 version) and watch Rene Russo dance with Pierce Brosnan.
I offered $50 on Google Answers to anyone who could find me the music they dance to; I’m still looking.
