What is your favorite "pair" of people who work in films?

By pair I mean it can be Director/Actor, Director/Cinematographer, Actor/Actor, Director/Producer, you name it! They just have to come in 2’s!

Some of my favorite pairs are:

Billy Wilder/Jack Lemmon

Jack Lemmon/Walter Matthau

Jack Rollins/Woody Allen

Ingmar Bergman/Sven Nykvist

You can tell I’m a big Jack Lemmon fan.

What are your favorites?

Man, Drew beat me to it!
I guess I’ll have to go with my second choice: Ed Wood and Tor Johnson.

In all seriousness, though: I second Scorsese and DeNiro

I really need to get into Powell and Pressberger. They were showing a bunch of their films on TCM the other day but I was busy that day and only saw I Know Where I’m Going!, which is great. Loved it, really. Besides that, I’ve only seen Peeping Tom form Powell, which is pretty good too.
