|
|
Just curious. Could be any duo, which have a certain relation in a movie. Vague description, but not like good guy vs. bad guy. Check my favorites.
Johnny Depp & Benicio Del Toro in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.
2 guys on/in the trip of their lifes. A paranoid reporter with a lawyer from hell is in my opinion the best duo in movie making.
Sean Patrick Flanery & Norman Reedus as the MacManus brothers in Boondock Saints. Although David Della Rocco gave them the comic note as a trio, they kicked ass like nobody's business. The rope/ceiling scene is a classic. As is Dafoe's comment: "Bad television" My personal favorite action movie.
Jim Carey & Tommy Lee Jones as the Riddler & TwoFace in Batman Forever. Jim Carey in his best role to date for me & Tommy Lee Jones is a perfect cast. Only reason for me that it was the best comic movie untill Sin City.
John Travolta & Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction.
I'm not sure which one was the best; the diner scene, the car scene, when they had to pick up the suitcase, their hideout at Tarantino's place... It was great.
Will contribute some more when they pop into my mind.

| Oh! I LOVE Boondock Saints! The humor is so dry and there is such dedication to making a better world with the skills one has...even if they are unconventional. Excellent movie! |

Hmm. How about Scarlett Johansenn and what's-his-face (the lead) in Matchpoint? Or is that not the kind of duo you're thinking of....
And Fight Club is awesome, wth you talking about not many people liked the movie? |

I also like Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber.
A classic: Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Another classic: Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallach in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" |

You forgot the best Hepburn duo of all.
Hepburn and Wayne in Rooster Cogburn and the Lady.
You can find all the best duos in Westerns. |

Abot not many likeing Fight Club, A) it was a bust, did horrible in the box office, it become a cult movie. It only made 37 million domesticly B) Most women I know hate the movie, usally seems to be a guy thing. Why I say most don't like it.
I usally find warped guys like myself are the only ones who enjoyed it. |

| Did I say all girls hate it? No. The crowd I usally hang out around I can usally find some that like it too, just that majority I have ever asked said they disliked it, not that it was necisarily bad, just they didn't get it. |

I recently saw Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.
I'm still recovering. A friend of mine keeps doing that guitar riff move everytime he sees me. I'm going to kill him soon.

| Definately Laurel and Hardy. They were fricking geniuses. And Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction make good runner-ups. |

Euh everybody in my friends group think it's the best movie evah.
Including me.
I didn't figure making Edward Norton & Brad Pitt the same duo since they're:
-------------------
Spoiler for the 0.00001% of the population of Earth who hasn't seen it yet....
-------------------
the same guy :|

You honestly think that few have not seen it? I doubt 10% of the population of earth has even seen it, hell probably less.
And even with the whole same guy dual personality twist, it's still an "on screen duo" cause it's two people. |
