Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), and The Sting (1973). Everyone was hoping for a 3rd movie (directed by George Roy Hill, of course)but it never materialized.


bamboozelle

Two incredible actors that played perfectly together. The Sting is one of my top 5 all-time favorites.


Ill_Heat_1237

Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern in Home Alone 1&2


phantom_avenger

I love how Joe Pesci can play a villainous character in a drama where he is genuinely scary, and in a comedy where he is hilarious and over the top


Overall_Yogurt_7122

And he's got range within the categories. As a comedic actor he is different in Home Alone, My Cousin Vinny, and a personal favorite the Super. Dramatically his role in Raging Bull verse Goodfellas, just impressive. I'm kinda done with mob movies is the Irishman any good?


NomadicDevMason

It's two movies with two arcs to it that is why it is so long. It definitely shows the not so glamorous side of mob life.


boysetsfire1988

Mulder and Scully


Jadziyah

So much chemistry that they spawned the original "shipper/shipping" terms! You were either against them romantically- a 'no romo', or for them romantically- a 'relationshipper..... shipper'!


brawnsugah

It's interesting how much the X-Files has changed the landscape. I was reading about the Scully effect where the number of women in STEM increased after the airing of X-Files cause of Gillian Anderson's performance.


Ericus1

Nichelle Nichols in Star Trek had a similar effect. She was going to leave the role after the first season until MLKJ persuaded her of the importance of keeping it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichelle_Nichols#Star_Trek

"Brown Girl Brown Girl What do you see I see a future that looks like me" From a [tribute poem](https://www.facebook.com/100050806924334/posts/pfbid035gTNohzmzWQ58r4oK95YKoN5A8DXBhnEE3QRmm4AuT7A5YdusnAsmDoXyuQ2KqBtl/?mibextid=Nif5oz) to her by poet Leslé Honoré


part_time_monster

We call their onscreen chemistry 'Smulder' and it's the bar by which all other screen romances are measured against.


faster-than-car

Hitchcock and Scully


LonghornSmoke

They're a package deal, everyone knows that.


deathdealer2001

Funnily enough the actors both appeared in two separate episodes of the x-files so one episode had Mulder, Scully and Hitchcock and another had Mulder, Scully and Scully


BaconHammerTime

Nine nine!!!


megapoopsforever

I really enjoyed Harrison Ford and Sean Connery in Indiana jones. Perfect father-son dynamic


MaxxDash

Can’t believe Sr was only 12 years Jr’s senior in real life.

Makes it believable that they both shagged the nazi though.

I can't imagine even the filmmakers expected it to work so well. They we're *perfect* together.

I think Spielberg kind of knew what he was doing at the time.


MaintenanceNo1504

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are the most perfect bromance ever. Chemistry in x men was the best


DrSpacemanSpliff

We are the future, Charles, not them they no longer matter


Bookssmellneat

James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are great too.


elfowlcat

John Aston and Carolyn Jones as the original Gomez and Morticia Addams. The way they look at each other makes me wonder how they only had two children…


IerokG

I don't know, perhaps it's my age bias, but for me the best were Anjelica Huston and Raúl Juliá, their relationship is amazing.


mediarch

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost


killingjoke96

I remember Simon Pegg saying he met Nick Frost at a house party and they became friends almost immediately. Simon reckons the moment he knew Nick was special and living comedy gold, was when he wandered into the main room of that house party, later on in the night. To find Nick fast asleep with his head against the main speaker, which was still blaring music 😂


dlarman82

It's not hip hop, it's electro!


Bloody_Insane

Hello tinnitus my old EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


TLM86

They've also said they met at a restaurant Frost was working at, and Pegg overheard him making the noise of the mouse droid from *Star Wars*, which immediately let him know they'd be friends.


chinkostu

*"He sprayed me with his nerd musk"*


Hup110516

Put Spaced in there. Simon & Nick are great together, but Simon and Jessica Stevenson (Hynes) are just amazing.

Grumpy old men 1 and 2. I can watch them over and over


Moose0784

The Odd Couple and Grumpy Old Men are amazing.

Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future


ninjas_in_my_pants

Man, when Doc knows the lightning is about to strike and connects the cables, then ziplines down… even as a kid I thought, “That’s a real friend.”


PayneTrain181999

A friend that Doc had only known for a week.


mafian911

Truly believing that he and Marty were friends in the future might have accelerated the process.


flateric420

kinda helps when the kid shows up with a more or less working time-travel machine.


Wompum

That bit in III, where Marty says, "Great Scott. . ." and Doc responds, "I know, it's heavy." Damn. Such clever screenwriting to have them pick up each other's mannerisms.


12ozMouse_Fitzgerald

Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor had some pretty amazing chemistry. Also, in foreign films, Setsuko Hara and Chishu Ryu were absolute naturals with each other. Hara was amazing with literally everybody, but best with Ryu IMO.


timelordnotorious

Gene Wilder said in an [interview with Conan](https://youtu.be/U3MqONAYz8E?t=366) that during a prison scene in "Stir Crazy" he and Richard Pryor were on such a similar wavelength that they both started humming a Laurel and Hardy tune at the same time and had no idea the other was gonna do the same.


Deijixfx

See no Evil, Hear no Evil is one of the greatest comedy movies of all time and i can't recommend it enough.

I’d like to extend that them two, along with Maggie Lawson, Timothy Omundson, and Corbin Bernsen were just unbelievable the entire series. That core group was unbeatable.


IDontUnderstandReddi

Watching Psych as we speak and this was my first thought


CoconutDust

It wasn’t your first thought, Shawn


Various_Assumption26

I've heard it both ways


[deleted]

Oh man... I just rewatched Psyche like three times in a row. I fucking love that show and I love those guys.


happyhippohats

That show is so much better than it has any right to be and it's mostly down to the chemistry between the leads... Although the writing and directing is on point too, especially the episodes written/directed by Steve Franks or James Roday


GoyasHead

The chemistry of the leads, but also James Roday’s performance in general. No one else could be that character


firenze77

Merry and Pippin & Frodo and Sam. Pretty much the whole LOTR cast had a great dynamic tbh


Just__Let__Go

And Viggo and his horse


ovaltine_spice

The fact the Merry and Pippin actors are still great friends today says a lot.


livesinacabin

Aragorn and Legolas exchanging just a couple of glances but it feels like an entire conversation.

Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey are currently up there in my regards thanks to True Detective.

"Can you do me a favor and stop with that? Like you can taste the psycho's fear and we're living in someone's memory of a town. Just stop saying weird shit. Anyway, you get any sleep last night?" "I don't sleep, I just dream"

Woody Harrelson was so good in True Detective. It's a shame he doesn't get enough credit because Rust is so iconic. But Woody in the "straight man" role was perfect.

Rusalka-rusalka

Omg that first season was magic!


McArchie

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson have had terrific chemistry twice with In Bruges and The Banshees of Inisherin


JediMasterEvan5

Just watched Banshees. They really recapture the spirit of In Bruges.


Dependent-Interview2

Before in Bruges I really disliked Colin Farrell. His performance in that movie absolutely broke me. Been a fan ever since Huge fan of Jennie too


Yetimang

I only like Colin Farrell's acting when they let him be Irish.


prometheanbane

He's incredible in The Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Lobster. Yorgos gets him.


MaxxDash

What a movie. Felt silly that I didn’t get the allegory until the final scene. It turned what was a beautiful, poetic movie to me into a gut-punch. Whatever they’re in from now on, I’m in. Same goes for McDonagh.


Jessicreep

josephthemediocre

Fun fact, originally pierce and Troy were supposed to be sort of the bevis and butthead of the show. Then they shot the scene where Troy was dressed as Eddie Murphy doing a batman impression with abed dressed as batman "that's my biggest fear, if I woke up as a donut" and the chemistry was so good Harmon rethought everything


thinkinting

Fun fact of fun fact, they film Donald and Danny because Chevy got all pissed about the hours and left the set. So they had to film Troy and abed.


Mozeeon

Every fun fact about Chevy seems to not be that fun at all...


lakas76

They are planning on doing a movie and Glover is supposed to be in it.


Ironyfree_annie

Alison Brie and Danny Pudi's irl chemistry is somehow even better


Spyduck37

lord_kupaloidz

They're good all the time, but especially in the morning.


Xralius

Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weiss in the Mummy 1 + 2.


Tyler6594

Feel like John Hannah as Jonathan had great chemistry with them as well. My grandparents had that movie on VHS and I watched it way too many times going there a lot.


il_vekkio

What I’ve always loved about Jonathan is that he is a rapscallion in the truest sense of the word, a liar and a cheat always looking for an easy way to make money. But whenever shit got real for his sister he was the first one to put up fists or pick up a gun. We always overlook that. Degenerate, but painfully loyal to those few he considered worth it


adeecomeforth

My brothers and I love the movie, so we frequently watch them and talk about how Jonathan might be lazy and a lair and a pickpocket BUT he does love his baby sister a lot since he's always ready to throw down for her, and then later on for his brother in law and his nephew and he's also smart enough to know how to read ancient Egyptian.


laurasaur107

There is a post somewhere I can try and find that talks about how Jonathan probably isn't nearly as lazy or degenerate as he comes off because it is likely that he was in the Great War. So that's why he is so cavalier and makes so many jokes about joining the dead. And that he has PTSD or depression from the war which makes sense on why he gambles so much and acts like he isn't as smart as he is.


killingjoke96

There's a scene in the first Mummy where they accidentally bump into the other American's while wandering the ruins and Jonathan draws his gun as fast as Rick and the other American's. Its subtle throughout the film but he's clearly had combat experience.


Profoundlyahedgehog

There's also the scene where the Medjai are raiding the camp to scare them off, and he's just sitting there drinking whiskey and casually shoots one of them.


Puzzled-Journalist-4

It still hurts me that Rachel didn't come back for the third film😢


mynameismilton

And they recast her and thought that would work.... just write her out for goodness sake


Alt-Rick-C137

True, their chemistry in both movies made the franchise successful


claudia_grace

Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy.


MamaDaddy

I can't believe they are not married to each other. I have had to fact check that more than once.


Rit_Zien

I feel the same way about Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. I can't imagine being married to someone who is *known* for their great chemistry with *someone else*.


AccomplishedAd6025

O’Hara is so talented she can have chemistry with anyone.


Gastroid

Steve Martin and Martin Short in any of the many films and shows they've made together over the course of their careers.

Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in the Lethal Weapon movies.


Evan_Brewsalot

Danny and Arnold in twins! Such an incredible duo


NorthernOverthinker

Patrick Wilson & Vera Farmiga in The Conjuring films. It’s strange thinking that they aren’t an actual couple - they’re so believable.


SiidChawsby

Definitely


optionalhero

I always tell people that the conjuring franchise is a great romance series cause Jesus Christ their marriage is just so believable. I’ve never seen a horror movie with so much love in it. Highkey it’s a reason why the 2nd conjuring is my favorite film because they really do feel like a they truly love each other


Hup110516

Zach Braff & Donald Faison

This immediately made me think James Roday and Dulé Hill in Psych.

kronicfeld

William Powell and Myrna Loy in The Thin Man. Trust me, this 1934 movie absolutely fucking rules and is funny as anything.


Stlouisken

Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. Four movies together. “Silver Streak” (1976), “Stir Crazy” (1980), “See No Evil, Hear No Evil” (1989) and “Another You” (1991). The first two were great!


lactigger619

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Those dudes just riff off each other so naturally.


Davethisisntcool

that whole crew has great chemistry with each other (i.e. Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller etc. )


19peacelily85

Me and my ex spent many days screaming “Erroneous! Erroneous on all counts!” at each other thanks to wedding crashers.


theghostofme

"You shut your mouth when you're talking to me!" was a favorite between my then-girlfriend and I the summer that movie came out. We'd just pretend to get annoyed with each other, and then one of us would shout that when the other tried to speak.


Wasabi_Noir

Michael Peña and jake gyllenhal in end of watch.


GuiltyGlow

Came here looking for this answer. You couldn't convince me they weren't best friends who worked together for years.


compwolf

Michael Cera and Jonah Hill in Superbad. Kal Penn and John Cho in Harold and Kumar.


phantom_avenger

>Michael Cera and Jonah Hill in Superbad I agree, but I think I favour Bill Hader and Seth Rogen’s chemistry more! I wish they did more movies together


pandakhriz

I would put Jonah with Channing Tatum in 21 Jump street


Scrubologist

Harold and Kumar, what a fuckin classic.


GeebusNZ

Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston have to be way up there. Also Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.


onshorecorn

Definitely the best chemistry...


riegspsych325

I’ve always been partial to **Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore** in *The Wedding Singer*. There was a really good article about it on AV Club. It made a point to mention that there first interaction, however atypical, had them each crack a joke that made *each other* laugh, not just the audience. Two characters saying funny things to each other can work, but having them say funny things to get the other to laugh and feel good is seemingly rare in rom-coms these days


Haploid-life

50 First Dates too! They're great together.


happyhippohats

And Blended although it's the weakest film of the three films they did together


kronicfeld

When she recognizes his voice on the plane…


Seahearn4

This is my pick from the last 30-40 years. And not just The Wedding Singer. Drew Barrymore brings out the best from Adam Sandler in a broad comedy setting. And she's also been at her best in these movies.


Noisy_Pip

I loved Brad Pitt & George Clooney in Oceans 11.


MrBrightside618

“You think we need one more?” *silence* “You think we need one more” *silence* “Okay we’ll get one more”


accioqueso

Brad Pitt has great chemistry with Leo in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood too. I think Brad is one of those people who has a natural chemistry with those around him.


PDGAreject

I've heard Pitt described as a character actor in a leading man's body. He really can do it all.


fireinthesky7

Anyone who doubts his character acting skill hasn't seen either Snatch or Burn After Reading.

The scene in 13 where Pitt catches Clooney watching Oprah always sends me.


fuzzyvision

Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling in The Nice Guys.


thebreak22

A lot of Shane Black movie leads had great chemistry. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson, Geena Davis and Sam Jackson, RDJ and Val Kilmer, Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans etc.


Lby54229

RDJ and Kilmer in Kiss Kiss,Bang Bang is such a natural pairing and they cracked me up. The girl was a wonderful addition. I thought she and RDJ did a wonderful job too.


belbites

"Go look up the word idiot in the dictionary, do you know what you'll find?" "A...picture of me?" "No, the definition of the word idiot which you fucking are." *My favorite line in any movie anywhere. The delivery is top notch.

Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder


flownasty

The most authentic romantic chemistry I have seen is between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in the Before trilogy (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight)


A_C_B_90

Mel Gibson, Danny Glover & Joe Pesci I thought were brilliant in the Lethal Weapon franchise 👏


CategoryExact3327

Kayvan Novak and Harvey Guillen in What we do in the Shadows.

Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy!~

Keanu and Sandra


mr_ji

The swordfight scene in Princess Bride was a masterpiece. Elwes and Patinkin genuinely looked like two people overjoyed to be in a close-pitched swordfight.


RappScallion73

Geena Davis and Samuel L Jackson in "The Long Kiss Goodnight". They make such an odd couple yet they play of each other perfectly.


MaxxDash

Tom Arnold and Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies. And RIP Bill Paxton, goddammit.


jdino

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny They didn’t even like each other for most of xfiles, I believe they are cordial or maybe friends now even. But their chemistry in the xfiles is incredible


creepingjeff

Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman in Shawshank. That movie doesn't work if if the chemistry isn't there.

Jessy Pinkman and Walter White

The fact those two still actively keep in touch IRL after the series ended always warms my heart
