I was talking to a friend the other day about the Die Hard with a vengence, and we both seemed to agree the best bit about it (opinons) was the chemistry between Bruce and Samuel. They just fucking rock the screen every single second. This lead us on to discussing the actors and actresses that have the best chemistry between each other.

I remember a bunch -



Will smith & Martin Lawrence (bad boys)

Chris Tucker & Jackie Chan (rush hour)

Harrison Ford & Sean Connery (Indy 3)

Ethan Hawke & Julie Deply (before sunset/rise)

Tim Robbins & Morgan Freeman (the shawshank redemption)

Robert Downey Jr & Val Kilmer (kiss kiss bang bang)

Jodie Foster & Anthony Hopkins (silence of the lambs)

Collin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges)



The criteria is not necessarily being in the best film ever or the best scripted film, but when you can tell the people on the screen are having a blast working with each other and/or challenging each other.

So guys, what are your top on-screen chemistry match ups?

(Specifically movies *of any genre* and it can be more than 2 people, for example the entire cast of serenity)

You have to be older than 25 to get that reference.

No one would even know what you're talking about.

Hell while you're at it, might as well say Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines...

I had never seen the whole movie until about a year ago. Surprisingly fun.

 

[DarkJediKnight]

Can't believe Connery is only 12 years older than Ford. And he was only 52 here. The man was the oldest looking early 30s Bond, but really tapered off once he hit his 60s.
