Have there ever been 2 actors with better chemistry than Lemon and Matthau?

Posted by OklahomaHoss

Don't get me wrong. We are spoiled for choice when it comes to strong contenders. For example, we have Brad Pitt and George Clooney, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Kevin Hart and Duane Johnson, Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling (unless I'm the only one that's seen The Nice Guys), Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. And then of course we have the legends, Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, and also Robert Redford and Paul Newman. And there are many more. But for me, I think it's Lemon and Matthau. Just pure magic. What do you guys think?

The Thin Man is such a great series, my guy friends were in love with Myrna Loy immediately.

They're great together in other movies too, but this is peak.

le_cygne_608 Mar 25, 2026 +8
I didn't mention this one based on "romantic couple is different," but this is totally the answer. And their chemistry goes way beyond a "only" a great romantic couple. "Will you bring me five more Martinis? Line them right up here."

Such good chemistry fans of the movies refused to believe they weren't actually married to each other. Hotels would book them 1 room when they travelled thinking they were together

Very strong contenders. Maybe top 3 with Lemon/Matthau and Newman/Redford

Pryor and Wilder?
159
Gamer_lover13 Mar 25, 2026 +42
yeah between 1976 and 1991 they did 4 movies together. Another You 1991, Stir Crazy 1980, See No Evil, Hear No Evil 1989, and Silver Streak 1976.
42
winelover08816 Mar 25, 2026 +30
Would have been five but Pryor couldn’t get insured for Blazing Saddles
30
Gamer_lover13 Mar 25, 2026 +15
At least he was one of the writers on the movie.
15
aardw0lf11 Mar 26, 2026 +7
I think he also wrote a couple episodes of Sanford and Son. The line “That’s what you told me, witch!” was a dead giveaway.

ruet_ahead Mar 25, 2026 +9
Stir Crazy and Silver Streak are among my favorite comedies of all time. Silver Streak could NEVER be made today.

Hceverhartt Mar 25, 2026 +6
"Thats right we bad" are you referring to that scene? lol
6
ruet_ahead Mar 26, 2026 +3
That and it's a slow burn, comedy, murder mystery that takes place on a train. It's got some fantastic action set pieces but I don't think enough for today's audiences. Not a slight, BTW. I also think the whole thing would be done with CGI because I can imagine it would be incredibly expensive to make today.
3
Hceverhartt Mar 26, 2026 +1
It was my parents favorite movie. I must have watched it 100 times. Crazy that Pryor doesn't even show up until halfway through the movie but it becomes a comedy classic the moment he does.

squirtloaf Mar 26, 2026 +3
I saw it in the theater with my mom!

Character_Pudding_94 Mar 26, 2026 +2
Such an odd order to list them in! You start with Another You (1991), but it's neither reverse chronological order nor worst to best.
2
aardw0lf11 Mar 26, 2026 +6
I don’t think there’s ever been better chemistry between two actors with wildly completely different personalities.

I'd put Steve Martin and Martin Short on that list...

I second this. They sparkle every time they work together. And have stood the test of time. From Three Amigos to Only Murders in the Building.

Lythalion Mar 26, 2026 +6
I think this is the answer. I believe they pull out ahead even if by a very small margin.

It's the great unsung buddy cop movie, and it's mostly because of their chemistry.

Mcconaughey and Harrelson
72
Snoo-25122 Mar 26, 2026 +18
Harrelson also had insane chemistry with Wesley Snipes. Money Train, White Men Can't Jump. This is a duo that easily shouldn't have worked, but worked wonders.
18
FluffyAd6797 Mar 26, 2026 +5
Great picks. Also love the chemistry b/w him and Jesse Eisenberg. They’re in both Zombieland and Now You See Me together and play off each other so well. But yeah Matthew and Woody as Rust and Marty is like watching renaissance art being painted in real time. Could literally listen to them talk about the phone book
5
PapaMcMooseTits Mar 26, 2026 +1
There seems to be a common denominator in these three comments... I'd also like to point out that he had great chemistry with Randy Quaid and Bill Murray in Kingpin (one of my favorite "turn my brain off and laugh" movies.) The thing that I love about Woody is that he's every bit as good in a screwball comedy as he is in a serious drama. A seriously underrated actor IMO.

Was going to make a similar comment. Woody is just pure awesome.

Chris Farley and David S****. Really short duo, but just amazing together.

S**** is funny on his own, but he's never been better than playing Farley's straight man. They were made for each other.

De Niro and Grodin in Midnight Run were great. Should have done more together.

mikeyfreshh Mar 25, 2026 +15
Grodin had chemistry with everybody. Go watch The Great Muppet Caper. That movie only works because of the sexual tension between Grodin and Miss Piggy

Enthusiasms Mar 25, 2026 +30
I mean, you just named a bunch of them, even if some of them aren't actually contenders. Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Bogart and Bacall, Clint Eastwood and an orangutan, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes.
30
-Sinhealer- Mar 25, 2026 +6
Yeah Abbott and Costello wins hands down for me, Laurel and Hardy close behind. It always surprised me that Stan Laurel was the smart one behind them and the business mind, just shows what a great actor he was!
6
Enthusiasms Mar 25, 2026 +9
It was an absolute shame that neither Reilly nor Coogan was nominated for an Oscar for Stan & Ollie, because they absolutely nailed both roles.

Yeah we won't be getting anything like those guys or indeed the likes of Abbott and Costello again.

I saw The Odd Couple tv show before the movie so for me Tony Randall and Jack Klugman are the originals. Lemon and Matthau were great in Grumpy Old Men, though.

Plenty of other good pairings have been mentioned, but I’ll add Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward. They only did Tremors together, but their chemistry is outstanding and their banter is hard to beat thanks to the script. I wish they could’ve played Val and Earl together one more time, but I’m glad we at least got the one.

KubrickMoonlanding Mar 26, 2026 +3
I’ve gotta say that DiCaprio - for all his big movie star profile and clout , and until more recently, his way of choosing “the star” roles - is a really great acting partner: he makes his partners look good, gives them space to excel, and supports with good reactions. I doubt he’s that fun a hang but he’s probably great to work with, especially for actors. Tarantino and Scorsese have both noted this and made it a foundation in their work with him.

I didn't even think their chemistry was particularly noteworthy. My personal favorite would probably be Bob Mortimer and Vic Reeves, strong second place for Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor but they should have quit while they were ahead because they were really forcing it by the end of their run and Gene was really carrying those last 2 even though I still loved them.

I made a post about Ferrell and John C. Reilly, but even beyond this, it’s amazing how well Will Ferrell has partnered with so many other people. Just off the top of my head, he had great notable two-person chemistry with Cheri Oteri, Chris Kattan, Chris Parnell, Molly Shannon, Danny McBride, and Mark Wahlberg. And of course great ensemble comedic chemistry like Anchorman, Zoolander, Old School, etc. I know it’s been fashionable to hate on Will Ferrell for like 10-15 years but he really is one of the best.

drumscrubby Mar 26, 2026 +1
I think their chemistry is in great part due to how professionals approached the acting craft back in the day. As well as the writing of very specifically, Neil Simon.
