Best duo in cinema

Hey you!

What do you think it's the best duo in cinema? Hitchcock and James Stewart? Alfred Hitchcock and the composer Bernard Herrmann? Scorcese and Robert de Niro? Akira Kurosawa and Toshirô Mifune? Tim Burton and Johnny Depp? Tm Burton and Danny Elfman? Steven Spielberg and John Williams?

I'm sure you know tons of duos like this. Which one is your favorite?

this is a great topic. I have to think about it for a while till I come to a personal choice, but I can say that Burton and Johnny Depp seem to work wonders together.

All of those are excellent choices.

I would also add
- The Coens, and most of their frequent collaborators, like Roger Deakins, John Goodman, etc.
-David Fincher, and the musical talents of Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross
-Spike Jonze, and Charlie Kaufman (this duo needs to collaborate again!)
-Leonardo Dicaprio, and Martin Scorsese
-Richard Linklater, and Ethan Hawke
-David O. Russell, and Jennifer Lawrence
-Tom Hanks, and Steven Spielberg
-Pixar, and Michael Giacchino
-Christopher Nolan, and Hans Zimmer
-Pretty much anyone who does more than one movie with Emmanuel Lubezki
-Michael B. Jordan, and Ryan Coogler (there's only been two films, but they have a great future together)
-Disney, and Howard Ashman
-Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg
-Chrisopher Doyle, and Wong Kar-Wai
-James Newton Howard, and M. Night Shyamalan

I'm sure there's more I could think of!

That's a great shout. And yeah Inarritu and Lubezki?

Also Jeff Nichols and Michael Shannon.

William hanna & joseph barbera

Wilder and Pryor.

Wilder and Brooks.

And I know this is controversial in hindsight, but Cosby and Poitier

Paul Verhoeven and Rutger Hauer.
The two of them are basically responsible for each other's careers as well.
They'd worked together a load of times before and since, but international recognition came when they made Soldaat Van Oranje (Soldier Of Orange) together in 1977 and won an LA Film Critics Award for Best Foreign Language Film.


Always enjoy their collaborations.

Also I'll add masaki kobayashi and tatsuya nakadai as well.

John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands

I go back a lot longer than any of you...I'll say Tracy and Hepburn.

HAL

My first thought when I saw the title of this thread.

YES Hal! YES!!!

These two had something special.



Most people will pair Al with Bobby but even the former has commented on the way they bounced off each other in The Godfathers and Dog Day.

A great pairing waiting to happen: Coens and Bill Murray.

Discovered some others on the internet like Paul Thomas Anderson and Philip Seymour Hoffman, Steven Soderbergh and Matt ***on, Ingmar Bergman and Max von Sydow and Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson.
These are all great partnerships that produced great pieces of cinema also!

Oh yeah, Soderbergh gets a lot of great simpleton, wounded pride performances out of ***on.

Grant and Hepburn was a better pairing IMO

But as far as director/actor pairings, I'll go with Raoul Walsh and Errol Flynn

Lars von Trier and depression.

Now it's Von Trier and Von Trier.
