Casting Chemistry

In My Opinion the best is Gary Sinise and Tom Hanks

I see some really nice choices. Love seeing Myrna Loy and William Powell, Vera-Ellen and Danny Kaye and all of the great buddy combo's that you all have posted.



I may step on a few toes, but I have to add something to the chemistry dud pile....

Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones.
I finally watched this last week (1st-time) and couldn't believe how mis-matched they were. There was absolutely NO chemistry between these two and it made their terribly forced, rushed and unbelievable love story even worse. Christensen in particular, was like a plank of wood.

They were only in one movie together, but I love Elliott Gould and George Segal in Robert Altman's California Split (1974). Two of my favorite actors from the '70s, they're at their best playing a pair of loser, degenrate gamblers who meet and fall in with each other through various betting scenes, and are fantastic playing off each other in Altman's loose, improvisational atmosphere. The bit at the bar where they drunkenly try and name all of the seven dwarfs is perfection.

"Dumbo was not in that cast?"
