I was watching Capra's "It Happened One Night" and I was amazed at the great on-screen chemistry between Gable and Colbert, and its weird knowing that both actors where kinda forced to do this film. And Colbert was so displeased by it that even said it was the worst film she ever made and didn't even attend the Oscars (though she won)

In any case what are other films where the chemistry between the leads helped made a movie great, the other example I'm thinking is "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" where Newman and Redford are just great playing of each other

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan in all the X films they're in. On and off the screen. You'd swear they were a gay couple. It is a lot of fun to see them hang out though.

Seth Rogen and James Franco in every film they do together.

The Adjustment Bureau- Matt Damon and Emily Blunt.

Romancing the Stone- Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner.

The Predator- Arnold and Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura and Old Painless

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in anything they do together... Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, The World's End, Spaced... and even in real life.

Iron Man films and The Avengers- Downey Jr. and Paltrow

Woody Allen and Diane Keaton, Annie Hall
Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, The Empire Strikes Back
Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, Superman
Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon, Bound

Ellen Burstyn and Jason Miller in The Exorcist. They only have a few scenes together, but when they are the air is literally on fire.

Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in Foul Play and Seems Like Old Times
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in The Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, and Blended
Chris Farley and David Spade in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep (and on Saturday Night Live)
Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines in Running Scared

Lord of the Rings. Scene after scene, I swore Sam and Frodo were about to get it on.

Never thought about that but you're right. They're really solid together in their moments.

Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the ASM films

Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci in whatever they've done together.

^Ha i thought the same thing all through the last LOTR movie

Yeah don't care what people say about Sandler I love "The Wedding Singer and "50 First Dates" have yet to see "Blended"

Agree on Garfield and Stone too, its like they are a real couple

It's funny. I didn't know they were a thing till like 4 months ago. Worked out well for them for the 2 movies.

Adjustment Bureau. +1

Flesh and the Devil, 1926. There's a bedroom scene where Greta Garbo and John Gilbert have that just-fucked body language. I doubt they were acting.

^I actually do remember that scene with Greta Garbo, I felt in love with her afterwards

Tommy Boy

True Romance
Silver Linings Playbook

I haven't seen the film yet but IMDB had this....

It's an odd choice, but I'm going to throw it out there: Channing Tatum and The Rock in GI Joe: Retaliation. They really played off each other well.

Martin Lawrence & Will Smith (Bad Boys)
Jean Claude Van Damme and Bolo Yeung
Al Pacino and Michelle Pfieffer

Al Pacino and Johnny Depp in "Donnie Brasco"

U know that scene with Pacino and De Niro in "Heat" at the Dinner was pretty great

Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh in TAI CHI MASTER (1993).

John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in THE QUIET MAN (1952).

Hank Azaria and that ass in Heat.

Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future.

Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher in Star Wars.

Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder in Superman.

Sly Stallone and Talia Shire in Rocky.

I watched that in the original aspect ratio with the original mono track! Oh, wait... : sad:
