I go for Jackie Chan - Chris Tucker in RUSH HOUR and especially RUSH HOUR 2.
I also loved:
- Harrison Ford - Sean Connery in INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE
- Harrison Ford - Carrie Fisher in the STAR WARS original trilogy
- Tom Hanks - Wilson the Volleyball in CASTAWAY

Nicolas Cage and John Goodman were great together in BRINGING OUT THE DEAD.

Brad Pitt and Ed Norton had some good chemistry in FIGHT CLUB

Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis were OK in THELMA AND LOUISE

Harrison Ford and Kate Capshaw were excellent in INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM

And as mentioned before, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan were excellent in both RUSH HOUR's.

No other pairing is better than Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting.

Second would be Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in Key Largo, The Big Sleep and, most especially, To Have and Have Not. You can just see the two of them falling in love in that one...

1. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau

The odd couple will always be number one in my book. The most memorable pairing of actors ever, they just work so well off each other. The Odd Couple and Grumpy Old Men are comedy classics. Everyone else is in a distant second. :)

-John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson were great together in Pulp Fiction, and Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster were too in The Silence of the Lambs. But my vote for the best actor pairing EVER is Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in Some Like it Hot.
