You know, buddies known for working together on a frequent basis.
This can cover comedians, actors, singers, superheroes & their sidekicks. Hell, you can even throw in politicians if you feel the need.
Mine would be Laurel & Hardy without a shadow of doubt, closely followed by Redford & Newman, Butch & Sundance/The Sting.

@Kardamom- Alan and Emma were in the Harry Potter movies together too (Trelawney and Snape)
I liked Emma with Kenneth Branagh, but also like Batman and Robin, Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Gamarjobat.
@ucme I could not possibly venture beyond your fine mess of a preeminent choice.
L+H.
@linguaphile That’s right!!! I’m just so obsessed with Snape in the Potter movies, that I almost neglected poor Emma Thompson. But that’s OK, she keeps herself busy with Anthony Hopkins in The Remains of the Day and Howard’s End. Another yummy pairing : )
George Burns and Gracie Allen. They have never failed to make me laugh.
Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
Rowan and Martin (Laugh In.)
Abbott and Costello
Riggs and Murtaugh
Statler and Waldorf
Steptoe and Son

I still love the two Ronnies… And it’s goodnight from me….
