#67 What is your favorite on-screen pairing?
Last week we fought about bad movies that somehow became good. Maggie took the prize once again, and consequently this week gets to ask:
What is your favorite on-screen pairing? The duo can be any type of relationship, but the movie must focus on these two main characters.
Fight it out.
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Saturday wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Monday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.
Fight it out.

Al Pacino as Vincent Hanna versus Robert De Niro's Neil McCauley in Heat. They only share two scenes together in the entire (almost three hour) film but they are clearly playing against one another for the duration. You feel the tension and respect they share for each other throughout as antagonists, which makes their sit down coffee scene a masterpiece when we finally get them face to face. And the way it comes full circle in the conclusion is beautiful.
Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) and Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) in RED…which admittedly has a ton of great characters, relationships, banter, and chemistry, but those two together are adorable: he’s sheepish, brilliant, humble, and a badass; she’s intrigued, innocent, feisty, and fearlessly eager to get into all the superhero crime fighting. Normally i dislike the pairing of older men with much younger women but in this story it works without being blatantly sexist.
