Klaatu : 5/15/2021 8:42 am
Spencer Tracy & Katherine Hepburn? William Powell & Myrna Loy? John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara? Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall? Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers?

Feel free to name any I haven't mentioned, as long as they appeared in more than one movie together.

And Meg Ryan.

To me Sleepless was a pale rehash of the much better When Harry Met Sally adding the big vs small bookseller background stuff that isn’t tres romantic.

I’ll add Daphne Zuniga and John Cusack in The Sure Thing.

I agree with Bogart and Bacall…

as well as Hepburn and Tracy. But the Tracy/Hepburn dynamic was more based on repartee than physical attraction, to my mind. Which is as well as Hepburn and Tracy. But the Tracy/Hepburn dynamic was more based on repartee than an element of sexual or physical attraction, to my mind. Which is understandable given the many credible questions as to her sexuality, and possibly his.

But Bogie and Bacall had chemistry and heat, so they get my nod.

One pair that hasn't yet been mentioned is Fred McMurray and Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity. Then again, at the end they both wanted to kill one another. But upon further reflection, that love/hate dynamic describes many intense romantic relationships.

...in the first Smokey & The Bandit movie. They improvised almost all their dialogue while in the car together (she said in her recent book she had little idea of who her character Carry was supposed to be and just made things up as they went) and you can tell they were genuinely falling for each other as the movie went on which was real to life.
I like the part when they stop to walk around a park and she bends all the way over to stretch after getting out of the car and he sneaks a peek at her ass and quickly looks away trying to be a gentleman about it lol

and meshed very well. Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story come to mind.
Another nod for Bogie & Bacall

In The Big Sleep.

That horse racing conversation was on fire. It’s amazing the censors at the time allowed that.

Also, Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday.

And of course, Jack Lemmon as Daphne and Joe E Brown as Osgood Fielding III in Some Like It Hot.

“Nobody’s perfect.”
Favorite?  
trueblueinpw : 5/16/2021 2:38 pm : link
Idk about favorite but Bogie and Bacall in Casablanca have to be in the mention. More recently, Clooney and J-Lo in Out of Sight were really good, had obvious chemistry and it’s a terrific movie. I watched To Catch a Thief the other night and I think the difference in age there is like 30 years. Hollywood.

Not to be a know-it-all but that was Ingrid Bergman, not Bacall, in Casablanca but I agree with your point. Also, Robert Redford with Barbra Streisand in The Way We Were and Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway in Three Days of the Condor also come to mind for a favorite couple with great chemistry.
A great couple  
SomeFan : 5/16/2021 3:58 pm : link
from a chemistry perspective but a somewhat obscure movie.

Jon Voight and Jane Fonda in Coming Home.

Interestingly, both are pretty much on opposite ends of the political spectrum these days but IMV Coming Home was a great movie and they were awesome together in that movie.

I think you're confusing Sleepless and You've got Mail. Both had Hanks and Ryan, but there was no book seller story in sleepless.

Route 9 : 5/17/2021 3:34 am : link
I never had any interest in those movies but for some reason I was convinced that Tom Hanks was the male lead in "When Harry Met Sally..."

I remember it being called "Harry Met Sally" until ... now.

When I watched the film years ago (someone else was watching it) I was wondering where Tom Hanks was in the movie and I said... Billy Crystal??

You've Got Mail was good for the late 90s AOL nostalgia.

Editional comment: AOL was awful. Lol.

I've been re-watching 80s 90s movies lately to see if I remember them correctly and this film is next on my list.
