Best Onscreen Chemistry

I have seen a lot of George Clooney movies and I do not recall him having chemistry with anyone. Seriously. But the hottest straight chemistry I can recall and maybe it's because I was younger, was between Antonio Banderas and Anjelina Jolie in Original Sin.

I really enjoyed One Fine Day. Liked it a lot.

But didn't think Clooney had especially strong chemistry with Michelle.

I love that stupid movie!

Bill Pullman and Ellen DeGeneres in Mr. Wrong.

[quote]Bill Pullman and Ellen DeGeneres in Mr. Wrong.

The closest that '90s American cinema came to reproducing "Last Tango in Paris," though in this case Ellen was Brando and Bill Pullman was Maria Schneider.

Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas - The English Patient

George Clooney and J Lo - Out of Sight (they must have had some love/hate thing goin on? because I don't think they play for each other's teams)

Michelle Pfieffer and Daniel Day Lewis - The Age of Innocence

Oddly enough, G Oldman and Winona in Bram Stokers Dracula --- even though it's very known they hated each other... love/hate thing again

Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock in “While you were Sleeping.”

Well, we know why now, but the chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Smith made the movie fun, in spite of it being somewhat boring otherwise. We later found out they were having an affair while filming, so that probably explains that great chemistry.

Melissa McCarthy and Jason Stathom in Spy

It was about time someone just named their damn movie “One Fine Day” as it was THE go-to oldie for every adult romantic comedy released during that era.

Judy Holliday and Jack Lemmon were perfect together.

Vanessa Redgrave and Tom Cruise in Misison Impossible.

Julia and Gere in Pretty Woman....sparks. Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer in TSOM...especially when he takes over from Kurt when they dance outside the ball....fireworks. Sanda Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in The Proposal.

Julie had hotter chemistry with Garner, r13.

When I was a kid I used to watch One Fine Day every single day for a while there when either HBO or Cinemax was playing it constantly.

Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling in The Notebook.

Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt in Twister.

George's massive head can't generate chemistry with most humans. His best bet is a family sized cereal box, probably Frankenberry.

On the set of Rain Man, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise had a palpable sexual chemistry.

Matthew Macfadyen and Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice

John Travolta and Debra Winger in the Urban Cowboy

Olivier Martinez and Diane Lane in Unfaithful

Viggo Mortensen and Diane Lane in A Walk on the Moon

Clooney/Lopez in OUT OF SIGHT

George get off the website!

Go back to Lake Como

and be a rich homo

America Ferrera and Alan Cumming in The Good Wife.

William Powell and Myrna Loy in the "Thin Man" series.

Marlene and Jimmy in Destry Rides Again. They must have been fucking like crazy!

Joel McCrea and Jean Arthur in “The More The Merrier”

Peter Sellers and Catherine Schell

Pam Grier and Robert Forster in "Jackie Brown."

Kathleen Turner and Mink Stole

Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson in "The Remains of the Day."

Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in "Notorious."

Clooney has zero heat with women on and off screen. When he was younger his good looks deflected from the lack of chemistry, now it's glaring obvious. He and JLo couldn't stand each other, so it was a Richard Gere/Debra Winger situation where their contempt for one another came off as chemistry.

^*glaringly

Clooney had good chemistry with Brad Pitt in those Oceans movies.

Foster and Gere in SOMMERSBY. Scorchingly hawt!

William Hurt and Kathleen Turner in BODY HEAT.

R35 yes. They also worked great together in Accidental Tourist. You could feel it. I didn't get him and Geena.

Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve in THE HUNGER

Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in DON'T LOOK NOW

Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in CASBLANCA

R23, I hope you weren’t being sarcastic because improbable as it was, they were really in sync. I kept hoping she’d come back.

OTOH, his later romance with Vanessa Williams was cringeworthy. Couldn’t bear to watch.

Can on screen be TV too? It seems that if the stars hated each other in real life they had some good chemistry like Sam and Darren on Bewitched and Maddie and Dave on Moonlighting

Faye Dunaway and Diana Scarwid

Madeline Stowe and Daniel Day-Lewis 'Last of the Mohicans'.

Barbara Stanwyck with Henry Fonda, Gary Cooper and Van Heflin.

James Garner and Mariette Hartley's for Polaroid.

Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone in the Expendables. Seriously. I half expected them to bang.

Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman in While You Were Sleeping.

Iceman and Maverick.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Keaton in Batman Returns. Sexiest Catwoman/Batman combo yet.

Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor I'm sure made a very cute couple - although their films together are nearly impossible to see.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in Hot Fuzz. They were definitely in love.

Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy in X-Men

Patrick and Demi

and

Patrick and Whoopi

In Ghost

Pedro Pascal and Grogu

Oded Fehr and Milla Jovavich in those Resident Evil movies. They’d be a hot couple.

Oded Fehr makes a hot single.

[quote] [R35] yes. They also worked great together in Accidental Tourist. You could feel it. I didn't get him and Geena.

I watched "Accidental Tourist" with a friend. Neither of us had read the book or knew the plot. In the middle of the movie, my friend asked me: Who do you think he'll end up with? I said Muriel (Geena Davis' character). It just made sense to me and made sense for the plot that he would end up with someone who actually seemed to need him more. (The Kathleen Turner character was independent and Hurt's character needed to be needed.)

[quote]Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in Hot Fuzz. They were definitely in love.

R49 Also in Hot Fuzz. They are a fun couple!

^^Sorry! I meant Shaun of the Dead!

Michelle Pfeiffer and Jeff Bridges in "The Fabulous Baker Boys."

I've always thought Robert Redford was the actor with the best onscreen chemistry with women. He paired well with a ton of actresses: Jane Fonda, Natalie Wood, Streisand, Meryl Streep, Demi Moore. . . ,

Harrison and Kelly in Witness.

Elizabeth Taylor and Monty Clift in A PLACE IN THE SUN

Jason Statham and Melissa Mcarthy in Spy.

Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone.

Rene Russo and Kevin Costner in Tin Cup

Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon were pretty convincing. I was surprised she went with the other guy in real life.

Old ass movie version but I dont think I ever saw better romantic chemistry than Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in It Happened One Night....even better than the one with Vivien Leigh in GWTW.

And speaking of Vivien, as far as darker more directly sexual chemistry, her and Brando in Streetcar can't be beat.

Jon Hamm and January Jones in Mad Men. As much as I despise Twilight, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson did have a lot of chemistry.

Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson in Howards End and The Remains of the Day

Rupert Graves and James Wilby in MAURICE

Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne

These blokes..

These dreamboats ...

Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock in:

R73 ummm that was a lavender interaction

Billie Burke and Reginald Denny in ONLY YESTERDAY (1933).

Dawson and Load Number 6.

The divine Garbo and Robert Taylor in CAMILLE.

Pretty good for two gay actors!

Cary Grant and Sophia Loren in Houseboat.

It’s not that well known of a movie, but Denzel Washington and Sarita Choudhury in MISSISSIPPI MASALA. Scorching!
