Director/Actor Pairs

[Poetic Chaos]

Who do you give it to? This was a poll but hell, good as a discussion too. There have been some great repeat team-ups.

Cameron/Schwarzenegger
Scorsese/Dicaprio
Spielberg/Hanks
Howard/Crowe

So who's your personal favorite?

 

[AlteredEgo]

dont forget Burton/Depp

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Oh wow, thanks for the reminder. Not this is gonna be a poll, since I don't know how to edit it back into one. But yeah, for some reason they didn't cross my mind.

 

[The Chairman]

My personal favorites:

Scorsese / De Niro
Scorcese / DiCaprio
Hitchcock / Cary Grant
Hitchcock / Jimmy Stewart
Hitchcock / Grace Kelly
Frank Capra / Jimmy Stewart

[cryptic name]

i think scorsese/deniro is a better team up than dicaprio.
taxi driver
raging bull
goodfellas
casino
i mean, any one of those is better than the scorsese/dicaprio efforts. except maybe for the departed. which kicked 8 kinds of ass

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Could Coppola/Dunst make it up there?

maaaaaybe. The Virgin Suicides was a strong effort but I haven't seen Marie Antoinette.

[Dwarf lord]

My personal favorites:

Scorsese / De Niro
Scorcese / DiCaprio
Hitchcock / Cary Grant
Hitchcock / Jimmy Stewart
Hitchcock / Grace Kelly
Frank Capra / Jimmy Stewart
Cameron / Schwarzenegger

Yep. My list would be the same (minus Swartzenegger and Cameron because I haven't seen many movies with them paired). My favorites of that list are Hitchcock/Stewart and Capra/Stewart. Hitchcock and Grant too, but only because my favorite movie is North by Northwest. I haven't really seen any pairing of the two besides a little bit of To Catch a Theif.

I also don't really agree with Scorcese and DiCaprio. I loved The Aviator and I can't wait to see the Departed (which is why I'm not fully disagreeing), but I still hate DiCaprio. Martin Scorcese is a legend in the industry. He could have anyone in the industry, but he still picks DiCaprio. The final straw was when I found out he picked Leo to play Theodore Roosevelt, one of my personal heroes. Grrr.
