As for non romantic love/chemistry (fanfic notwithstanding), few relationships could ever hope to beat (imho, ymmv) the holy trinity of Kirk/Spock/Bones.
:dubious:

Spike & Angel had excellent–mostly humorous–chemistry in the last season of Angel. Quite The Odd Couple–one reason I’d have liked another season or two.
And I’m not talking slash–“except for that one time.”

Likely the Thin Man series with William Powell and Myrna Loy.

Powell & Loy made 14 films together, and though the movies themselves weren’t always great, the two together were always wonderful.

I thought Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze did well in Dirty Dancing, especially when you consider they did not get along
[/QUOTE]
Really? I thought Patrick Swayze had refused to do a sequel unless he could be reunited with the original cast, including Grey. Did they kiss and make up?
A Vote for worst: David Thewlis and Leonardo DiCaprio as Verlaine and Rimbaud in Total Eclipse. While their relationship was violent and dysfunctional, there needed to be some element of attraction other than Verlaine’s lust for Rimbaud, and there wasn’t. (IIRC John Malkovich was the original actor signed to play Verlaine which perhaps would have worked better, but he dropped out due to salary issues.)
Harrison Ford and Anne Heche in Six Days & Seven Nights were terrible together. I blame Anne Heche, 'cus I don’t like her in anything, and Harrison Ford could have chemistry with a coat rack, so there you go.
In Remember WENN, Nick Sherwood and Betty had incredible chemistry. The only show that I’ve watched that could let romantic tension simmer for so long and still make it watchable. Nick was a con man at heart, and he trully wanted to be whatever Betty wanted him to be… But he couldn’t not be a con man, and she, while attracted to him, certainly could NOT be in love with a con man.
(Damn A&E for leaving that show on a handful of cliffhangers!)
