Favorite Director/Actor Duos?

How could I forget my favorite!

John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands

 

scorcese/deniro/pacino

 

David Lynch and Grace Zabriskie.

 

What movie did Pacino do with Scorsese?

 

the irishman.......i don't even have to see it to know how good it will be.

 

I might have been excited 20 years ago... It seems like all three of those guys are just taking money.

 

with pesci and keitel too.

i am very excited.

 

Scorsese/Dicaprio
Tarantino/Russell

 

Douglas Sirk/Rock Hudson

 

Frank Capra & James Stewart

 

Wilder and MacMurray
Fleischer and McGraw
Hitchcock and Grant
Walsh and Cagney

 

John Waters/Divine (and/or Mink Stole)
Roger Corman/Vincent Price
Roger Corman/Dick Miller
Coppola/John Cazale
(and the almost too obvious Scorcese/De Niro)
Edit: forgot Werner Herzog/Bruno S.

 

John Cazale is my favorite supporting actor. He seemed to choose the right movies, too!

 

Tim Burton - Michael Keaton
Tim Burton - Johnny Depp

 

I was pretty sure Fleischer was Richard Fleischer but I had to look up Charles McGraw—first time hearing his name...

 

I love Charles McGraw, even when he's a bit role for two minutes.

 

I looked up his filmography and I have seen a few of his movies, though not the Richard Fleischer ones. Next time I see them again I’ll look out for his performances.

 

You have to see The Narrow Margin, one of the best noir's ever made. It has moves that do Hitchcock proud, especially the train sequence. Relentless from the first frame. And it has Marie Windsor in great form.
Love Charles McGraw, whatever he's in.

 

robert altmn and elliot gould (athough there are a bunch here i could pick too)

 

Apart from many of the listed above:

Russell / John Carpenter
Pitt / Fincher
Caine / Nolan

 

Ingmar Bergman and Gunnar Bjornstrand and Max Von Sydow.

 

Going through this thread has been a reminder of what magic can happen with the perfect combination of director and actor.

If I had to pick just 5:

Von Sternberg/Dietrich
Kurosawa/Mifune
Fellini/Mastroianni
Kazan/Brando
Herzog/Kinski

 

The Narrow Margin (the 1952 original) is a classic, and Armored Car Robbery is a very well-done B movie from '50. Eddie Muller has some nice info on them both on YouTube. McGraw's voice reminds me of Lawrence Tierney's---like he gargled with gravel every morning.

 

Anthony Mann/James Stewart
Bud Boetticher/Randolph Scott
