NFT: Favorite Movie Couple, Male & Female:

And I loved Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together

Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd played well off each other in the Moonlighting TV series.

Probably like Bogart and Bacall best but Rita should be on the list. Hayworth and Ford were in at least a couple of movies together.

Vinnie and Mona Lisa Vito.

Don't kill me...DiCaprio & Winslett, 'Titanic'.

in Aliens. OK not even really a couple in the romantic sense, but they had better chemistry than most actual onscreen couples do. Without the gratuitous sex scene mixed in

in "African Queen." Such great chemistry.

when they were about to get together, but Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz in Vanilla Sky. I know alot of people don't like that movie, but I love it.

in 'True Lies.'

Only one movie though, so far as I know.

The other entries above all great too.

Is Stallone and Talia Shire in the Rocky movies...especially Rocky 1. Amusingly awkward, yet became a very genuine movie couple

Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort.

Bogart and Bacall in a series of movies that just sizzled on the screen. Key Largo, The Big Sleep, et al.
Specifically To Have and Have Not -- "You know how to whistle, don't you Steve?"

Robert Redford and Katharine Ross in Butch and Sundance.

'A Fish Called Wanda' with Jamie Lee Curtis and John Cleese, Kevin Kline and Michael Palin....she really spread it around in that film!

'Shakespeare in Love' with Gwyneth Paltrow and Joe Fiennes. Gwyneth should have won an award for Best Tits.

Between 1935 and 1941, they made 8 movies together including my 3 faves ... Captain Blood, Robin Hood, and They Died with Their Boots On. The Grande Dame died just last year at the age of 104.

and Natashia.

...

Excellent chemistry together in Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates

Sleepless in Seattle, Joe versus the Volcano and You’ve got Mail. All good.

'You've Got Mail' is one of my favorite romcoms.

Did you know it’s a modern adaptation of a play and a musical? Respectively, Shop Around the Corner and She Loves Me. Both are very good. Especially the musical.

George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Love those movies.

But Peter North and Jenna Jamison.

What was the plot of that movie they were in again? I forget...

I agree with Bogart and Hepburn in African Queen. A couple of pairs not first thought of but wort mentioning are Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis in The Out of Towners, and in a probably forgotten movie What’s Up Doc Barbara Streisand was terrific paired with Ryan O’Neal.

For TV, beyond the obvious Lucy and Ricky, Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore were terrific together, and I’d even put Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman on the list.

but Roberts can't even walk in high heels!

As Lester Diamond and Ginger Rothstein in Casino.

...Myrna Loy. "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House," "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer," "Wings in the Dark."

but Burns and Allen were a great comic couple

abd Judy Garland

Ryan O’Neil and Madeline Kahn/Barbra Streisand in What’s Up Doc...

Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara as Mitch and Mickey in A Mighty Wind

Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger was off the charts in Jerry Maguire. I wondered after I watched it, how do you turn that off? The chemistry I mean.

in Notorious

J Stewart and G Kelly in Rear window

You know, the typical pizza guy meets lonely housewife story.

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.

And Lane.

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.

My first thought too

Trading Places. Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis.

...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

My Cousin Vinny

Marisa Tomei and Joe Pesci

Hmm, I thought it may have been cable guy comes over to fix her cable, but maybe I’m thinking of another movie:)

John Cusack and Ione Skye.

Colin Firth and the Portuguese waitress in Love Actually.

Uma Thurman and David Carradine in Kill Bill2

George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez in her first film. All down hill after that.

Jon Snow and Rose Leslie in GOT

Jacqueline Bisset and Nick Nolte in The Deep.

Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward in Against all

Jolie and Pitt in Mr and Mrs Smith.

Gong Li and Colin Farrell in Miami Heat.

Joan Severance and Kevin Spacey in Witness. ( Joan Severance and anyone).

Against all Odds

Raul julia and Angelica Houston

Casablanca.


But also Pesci Tomei.

The contrast is wonderful.

"Of all of the Alabama courtrooms in all of the mudholes in all of the world, she walks into mine."

"We will always have Birmingham."

Elisabeth Shue and Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas

to come up with a favorite movie couple.

and meshed very well. Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story come to mind.

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.”

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.

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.

"It's a Wonderful Life"

Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland.

Romancing the Stone
Jewel of the Nile
War of the Roses
(You can add Danny DeVito in too)

...from the tv show That Girl.

Marlo Thomas was a cutie!

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.

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.

Lol what the hell does editional mean? Making up my own words!

... The Ghost and Mrs. Muir!

You know they did it off camera. LOL

in Mr & Mrs Smith

Movie or TV show? (Not doing it; which one do you prefer).

I didn't know nominations must include pictures.

How about Clarence and Alabama - True Romance.

Fleeting but amazing. Definitely could have carried a movie.

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