Favorite On-Screen Couples

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I have just returned from watching “Runaway Bride” for a 2nd time. I am struck by how good Richard Gere & Julia Roberts are together. Both are competent actors individually; but together they achieve more than the sum of the parts. I liked them better in this than in Pretty Woman.

So my question for the masses is:

Who is your favorite on-screen couple & what movie best exempifies why?

I think the best are those that are also real-life couples:

Bogart/Bacall
Tracy/Hepburn
Burton/Taylor

The horrible exception to this rule is Cruise/Kidman. By comparison, Nicole shows us all just what a bad actor Tom is.

My seconds for Bogie and bacall and hepburn/tracy

i would also like to add:
jimmy stewart/donna reed

To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.

Forget Tom Hanks. Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal(sp?) were a much better pairing.

5

It’s hard to beat Bogart/Bacall in THE BIG SLEEP and TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT.

6

On and off screen… George and Gracie: the greatest love affair of the century.

7

A recent (sort of) pairing I like is Harrison Ford/Carrie Fisher in the Star Warstrilogy. My all time favorite, though, is Gable/Leigh in Gone With the Wind.

A great TV pairing…CatDog. :wink:

Anyone else like Kathleen Turner with Michael Douglas & a little Danny De Vito thrown in?

I loved them in Romancing the Stone. Jewel of the Nile was a little too much of a “Let’s get another one of these out quick”…

The War of the Roses was no formula movie, but no lighthearted romantic comedy, either.

Homer and Marge

Oh yeaaaaaaaaaah. . . The trio is perfect together! Your post reminded me of how much I loved Romancing the Stone. Guess what I’m going to rent this weekend?

This is from the small screen and about a million years ago, but I loved Bruce Willis and Sybil Shepherd in Moonlighting (although I can’t stand Sybil, I could stomach her in this). I think they must have hated each other in real life.
