> [@lieu](#): > > Woody Allen & Diane Keaton. And then there was Woody Allen & Mia Farrow. If film series count, then Johnny Weismuller & Maureen O’Sullivan did six Tarzan films together. And didn’t John Travolta & Uma Thurman do another film together after “Pulp Fiction”? I didn’t see it (or recall the name of it), but I remember seeing it advertised and making a big deal about how they were in another dance scene together. ---

They did, it was the sequel to Get Shorty and it wasn’t very good. \*\* [Be Cool](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377471/)\*\* ---

> [@Nzinga\_Seated](#): > > Johnny Depp and Helena Bohnam Carter. I know they’ve often been in Burton movies, but which ones were they coupled in romantically, other than The Corpse Bride (which, being animated, is a cool twist to the question). I know she was in Alice in Wonderland, but they weren’t playing a couple. I know they were both in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; but not a couple. I haven’t seen Sweeney Todd in eons… are they romantically paired? I didn’t think it was a romantic relationship. ---

Laura Linney and Liam Neeson played spouses in “The Crucible” on Broadway, and in the movie _Kinsey_. (And also in a movie called _The Other Man_, IMDB tells me.) ---

I haven’t seen Sweeney Todd in eons… are they romantically paired? I didn’t think it was a romantic relationship. Mrs. Lovett was clearly in love with Sweeney and wanted to marry him I doubt he returned her _feelings_, what with being a freaking nutjob, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they made the beast with two backs at some point. Partly because Sweeney might have seen it as a way of keeping her under control, and partly because, well, it’s [Helena](http://gynw.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/sweeney-todd_1119.jpg) [Bonham](http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2007/11/27/sweeney-todd-helena-bonham.jpg) [Carter.](http://tunc.biz/older_helena_bonham_carter.jpg) Even de-glammed she’s worth looking at.
