Movies with great chemistry between the leads
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 |
Re: Movies with great chemistry between the leads
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 |

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

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.

Re: Movies with great chemistry between the leads
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

The first scene between John Gilbert and Greta Garbo, in the train station, was also the first time Gilbert ever saw Garbo. He falls in love on camera, so completely in love that he never went back home to his wife. Director Clarence Brown was so overawed by the developing romance between Gilbert and Garbo that at the end of one particularly passionate scene he did not even call "cut," instead motioning the lighting and camera crews to stop filming. They withdrew from the set and, after a few hours, had dinner sent in. |

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.
