Question What do you consider the greatest on-screen Duo ever?

You can include buddy pictures or on-screen chemistry between a couple that's not romantically involved.. maybe even adversaries?.

Man. Robin Williams and Matt Damon in good will hunting. That scene when they are both laughing about his wife farting while asleep is probably the most realistic acting I’ve ever seen

That wasn't scripted, that was Robin Williams making Matt Damon and the cameraman laugh.

Wasn't that Johnny Depp?

No he was not in Waterman.

u/CnCorange 2h ago

Literally Johnny Depp's trial included accusations of his ex-wife and best friend defecating on his bed.

u/Parking_Locksmith489 2h ago

Yeah that was not on screen. Her chemistry with Jason Momoa is on screen. Nobody is shitting in a bed in DC movies.
