Which is your favourite Hollywood pair?

Asked by imrainmaker (8380points) February 13th, 2016

Not necessarily a pair in real life but those who have acted together and share great chemistry / you look forward to seeing them together?

Marilyn Monroe’s boobs, best supporting role to her bra.

Kermit & Piggy

Fatty Arbuckle and his “date.”

Pachy's avatar

For me it’s a draw between Spencer Tracy/Katherine Helpburn and William Powell/Myrna Loy.

Are you scratching your head about who these actors are? ;-)

cazzie's avatar

I liked Maddie and David on Moonlighting. (Sybil Shepard and what’s his name ;)

SecondHandStoke's avatar

Chemistry?

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

janbb's avatar

I’ll second @Pachy‘s dilemma. Two great duos. Although Newman and Redford are pretty high up there too.

Pachy's avatar

I agree, @janbb. Though I never saw them flirt and kiss like Spence and Kate. At least not on-screen.

janbb's avatar

Romance was not specified in the OP :-)

Meh…to heck with human couples, I’m a sucker for the animated animal couples. Lady & the Tramp, Pongo & Perdita, Simba and Nala, Dutchess & Thomas, Black Beauty & Ginger, Spirit & Rain. What can I say being a horse/ animal lover? haha

janbb's avatar

@Coloma Lady and the Tramp are high on my list too.

imrainmaker's avatar

@Pachy – you seem to be old movie lover..no favorite in the new lot?

imrainmaker's avatar

@ucme / @Coloma – unexpected but funny answers ..)

Coloma's avatar

Slightly off topic but…I saw ” The Final Hours” yesterday. Wonderful true story, 10 thumbs up!

Coloma's avatar

OKay…here is one of the hottest couple ever. Antonio Banderas & Salma Hayek in “Desperado.” Oooh baby! lol

Laurel and Hardy were good. Abbot and Costello were good. Martin and Lewis, not so much.

Mickey and Minnie

@imrainmaker, yes, I’m hopelessly addicted to movies of the 30s and 40s, but I do like newer ones, too. I thought Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarty were great together in “Heat,” as were Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in “Notting hill.” And I loved ALL the matchups in “Love Actually.”*

* I’m a hopeless movie romantic, too.

Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert were adorable together in It Happened One Night.

ucme's avatar

My serious answer :

Lemmon & Matthau
Rathbone & Bruce (Holmes & Watson)
Newman & Redford
Wilder & Pryor
Woody & Buzz

janbb's avatar

Ooh – Cumberbatch and Freeman!

dammitjanetfromvegas's avatar

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey

gorillapaws's avatar

A lot of great answers above. I would add:
Chris Farle & David Spade
Han Solo & Chewbacca
Kirk & Spock

ibstubro's avatar

Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy for current couple.
Hands down.

Love_my_doggie's avatar

George Burns and Gracie Allen

Until his passing a few years ago, DeForest Kelley and his wife. They’d been married for 54 years, and they were virtually inseparable throughout.

dammitjanetfromvegas's avatar

Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon

Seek's avatar

James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal in Secretary.

Dear sweet Lord, that movie is better than porn.

filmfann's avatar

Bogie and Bergman.
I also liked William Powell and Myrna Loy, but in the later Thin Man movies, he starts calling her Mommy, and that creeps me out.
I like Chevy Chase/Goldie Hawn, as a couple, but their movies were weak.

Coloma's avatar

And, lets not forget this great duo.

Love_my_doggie's avatar

@Coloma We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Ralph & Alice Kramden.

Pachy's avatar

OMG, I nearly forgot my all-time favorite couple… Bogie and Bacall !!! Their on-screen chemistry from their earliest match, “To Have and Have Not,” to one of their later ones, “Key Largo,” has never been topped (in my opinion).

Slim (Bacall): You know you don’t have to act with me, Steve. You don’t have to say anything, and you don’t have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and… blow.

Coloma's avatar

@Love_my_doggie Yes, and Samantha and Darren and Charles and Caroline Ingalls too.

@Pachy I loved Lauren Bacall, Bogey not so much. haha

Pachy's avatar

@Coloma, watch “Key Largo” and “The Harder They Fall”, his last movie). He played good guys in both. You might change your mind.

Pachy's avatar

Here’s another terrific pairing… James Garner and Julie Andrews in “The Americanization of Emily.” A wonderful movie, if under-rated.

SecondHandStoke's avatar

@Seek

In total agreement about The Secretary.

It’s the one mainstream film I suggest to those new to the kink realm.

Can’t have them getting their first impressions from the big wad of cheese that was 50 Shades of Grey.

At the same time I don’t want to scare them off right away with The Nymphomaniac films.

ibstubro's avatar

The incredibly classy Ann Bancroft and the incredibly brassy Mel Brooks.

God, it’s hard to believe she’s been dead 11 years.

cazzie's avatar

@Seek that movie IS Porn.

AshlynM's avatar

Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

Coloma's avatar

Meg Ryan was adorable in the day before she went under the knife and botoxed her lips into sausages. lol

Buttonstc's avatar

@ibstubro

You just reminded me of one of my favorite clips of all time. Mel and Anne singing, in Polish yet, “Sweet Georgie Brown” (from To Be or Not to Be) Their chemistry is obvious, their enjoyment infectious.

If this doesn’t put a smile on someone’s face nothing can.

I was thinking of that movie when I posted Mel and Ann, @Buttonstc. I’ve enjoyed that very clip from TV many times.
What an incredibly beautiful woman.

Pachy's avatar

Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan in the excellent remake of “Thomas Crown Affair.” Very sexy chemistry.
