MOVIES: Great On-Screen Duos

Denzel Washington & Gene Hackman in the Crimson Tide.

I always wished they'd do another movie together but now Hackman is really old and retired.

 

Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore ...while they can't compare to some of the classic duos, they've been good together on screen.

Eddie Murphy/Dan Aykroyd


And while this doesn't technically count as a duo, it does bear mentioning...the cast of Ocean's Eleven.

Honorable mention to Tom Hanks/Wilson in Castaway.

 

Is he retired? I thought he just hadn't made a movie since the horrific Mooseport film.

 

Whatever happened to Pesci? I haven't seen him since maybe 8 Head or LW4.

 

you serious clark?


pryor/wilder, glover/gibson, with honorable mention to farley/spade and the above for all the vacation movies.

 

He got engaged to Angie Everheart and has been on his knees thanking god ever since. (Not that I rate Everheart that highly...but Pesci doesn't strike me as a lady's man.)

 

I didn't realize it either till I saw it on his IMDb page. <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idINN0429553020080605?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0">link</a>

Hopefully someone can coax him out for atleast one more role otherwise Welcome to Mooseport was his last film.

 

Bullwinkle and Rocky

 

Will Smith/Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black
Tommy Lee Jones/Harrison Ford in The Fugitive
Jackie Chan/Chris Tucker in Rush Hour

 

That was a terrific duo. They should have made another flick together.

 

will ferrell and john c reily

 

I agree with whoever said Carrey and Daniels. Carrey was his usual self but Jeff Daniels pulled out all the stops and made that one of the greatest comedic combinations in a single movie.

Some others:









Brownie points if you can recognize this one:

 

Damn, cuss words in the link haha. Here's another pic of that duo:

 

Oooh how could I have forgotten this one??


Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster

 

Interesting. I read that Michael Mann did shoot them together in that scene because he wanted them to play off each other in person. I guess directors wouldn't normally do that for whatever reason. Found these photos:

Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson in White Men Can't Jump


... not Money Train (that movie was horrible).

 

this is probably the best right here, especially raging bull and casino, good fellas is a great movie also but I love their relationships in the other two.

 

I mentioned those two. They were also in Wildcats.
