The two leads in Drive were good [Mark Dacascos and the... other one.... :confused: ].

From the IMDB:

Quote:

Fox as Nick Lang: Ever killed anybody?

Woods as John Moss: Counting today?

Nick Lang: C'mon John. Look, my character kills this guy. It's probably an innocent by-stander. I just want to know what that's like.

John Moss: You can't. Not by asking someone.

Nick Lang: Will you open up? I just want to know what it feels like to be inside your skin.

John Moss: I DON'T WANT YOU INSIDE MY SKIN, YOU UNDERSTAND? It's private! What's in there belongs to me! You're not gonna learn what it means to be a cop by eating hot dogs and picking your teeth and asking stupid questions. We live this job. It's something we are, not something we do! Every time a cop walks up to a car and has to give a speeding ticket, he know he may have to kill someone or be killed himself. That's not something you step into by strapping on a rubber gun and riding around all day. You get to go back to your million dollar beach house and your bimbos and your blow jobs and you get 17 takes to get it right. We get one take. It lasts our whole lives. We mess it up and we're dead.

Nick Lang: [picking up a tape recorder] **** was that great! John. Look. Can you just say that one more time for me, please? John...

It HAS to be Gerard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere in
Les Valseuses

22-05-2003, 13:23

Ryan & Tatum O'Neal - Paper Moon
Robert De Niro & Billy Crystal - Analyze This
George Clooney & Quentin Tarantino - From Dusk Till Dawn

I really liked Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 1 & 2.

Raigmore · 27-01-2010, 22:06

I just saw the original The In-Laws after a long time and feel that Peter Falk and Alan Arkin form the best buddy-buddy pair ever.

Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin in Midnight Run are a very close second.

I did not like the Eddie Murphy & Nick Nolte pairing in 48 Hours. I dislike both actors (especially Murphy) and the film was nothing special.

For the "buddettes" Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis were excellent in Thelma & Louise

Just by having 2 same sex actors as friends or antagonists does not necessarily make them a buddy pair. Some Like It Hot is one of my favourite films and both Jack Lemmon & Tony Curtis were excellent but being in the same plight together, they do not make perfect foils for each other - something that is essential for real buddy-buddy films.

Soprano · 27-01-2010, 22:29

Kilmer and Downey jr in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang gave me some hope there would be a revival in buddy/buddy movies.

Guess not....

new · 28-01-2010, 11:13

A few of Steve Martin ones:
Steve Martin and Micheal Caine Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin in All of Me
and of course
Steve Martin and John Candy in Planes...., the last truly classic comedy buddy paring for me

Edit - just had a quick look at this thread and cant believe no one else has mentioned Steve Martin and John Candy yet

thescrounger · 28-01-2010, 11:24

Downey Jr and Jude Law, from Sherlock Holmes.

Raigmore · 28-01-2010, 16:49

Michael Caine & Sean Connery in The Man Who Would be King made a great pair.

Derrida · 29-01-2010, 08:27

Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward in Tremors

LordoftheDance · 29-01-2010, 09:11

Skeeter and Scooter in the Muppet movies.

Raigmore · 29-01-2010, 20:58

John Belushi & Dan Aykroyd were a good pair in The Blues Brothers but the cameos by the supporting cast and the film itself took a significant share of the honours, thus diluting the 'buddy effect'.

rampant · 29-01-2010, 21:09

planes trains and automobiles .... the best ever!!!!

Deron · 29-01-2010, 22:09

I came in here to post Gunga Din (1939)...and saw I'd posted exactly the same 5 and half years ago...

Not seen it for a while but as a lads movie it made me laugh a lot.

robzinski · 29-01-2010, 22:52

Has to be Riggs and Murtagh. Just has to.

[i]edit[/it]

Though I would have liked to have seen another Bruce Willis/Samuel L. Jackson Die Hard. They did show real chemistry.
