This is an old, old example, but [Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell](http://www.sarahbaker.org/luckystars_summary.html) starred in 12 movies together, from the silent era to the talkies: 7th Heaven (1927) Street Angel (1928) Lucky Star (1929) Happy Days (1929) Up (1929) High Society Blues (1930) The Man Who Came Back (1931) Merely Mary Ann (1931) Delicious (1931) The First Year (1932) Tess of the Storm Country (1932) Change Of Heart (1934) They were also romantic partners off-screen for most of that time, and you can see it in their performances.

Wes Anderson has so many recurring collaborators that his Wikipedia page has a section to show who has worked on which films. [Wes Anderson - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_Anderson#Recurring_collaborators) Bill Murray and Owen Wilson have done six Anderson films together. Willem Dafoe, Adrian Brody, Waris Ahluwalia, Seymour Cassel, Willem Dafoe, and Anjelica Huston were in three movies each with Murray and Wilson. Kumar Paliana was in three with Murray and four with Wilson. All three Wilson brothers acted in Anderson’s first three films. Etc. That’s without checking to see if any of them were in other movies together, and I also could have easily gotten one or two numbers wrong for some of them. For example, I think Luke and Owen Wilson have been in at least five movies together. ---

Will Farrell and Steve Carell were both in _Anchorman_ and _Anchorman 2_, as well as _Bewitched_. Paul Rudd was also in _Anchorman_, and appeared with Carell and Seth Rogan in _The 40 Year Old Virgin_. Rudd and Carell were also in _This Is the End_. You know what? Screw it. Paul Rudd, Will Farrell, Steve Carell, Leslie Mann, Elizabeth Banks, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill and others all interact in different movie series all the time, usually with Judd Apatow involved somehow. I don’t have the time to make a flow chart right now. ---
