    Denzel Washington & Gene Hackman in the Crimson Tide.

    I always wished they'd do another movie together but now Hackman is really old and retired.

    Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore ...while they can't compare to some of the classic duos, they've been good together on screen.

    Eddie Murphy/Dan Aykroyd


    And while this doesn't technically count as a duo, it does bear mentioning...the cast of Ocean's Eleven.

    Honorable mention to Tom Hanks/Wilson in Castaway.

    Is he retired? I thought he just hadn't made a movie since the horrific Mooseport film.

    Whatever happened to Pesci? I haven't seen him since maybe 8 Head or LW4.

    He got engaged to Angie Everheart and has been on his knees thanking god ever since. (Not that I rate Everheart that highly...but Pesci doesn't strike me as a lady's man.)

    I didn't realize it either till I saw it on his IMDb page. <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idINN0429553020080605?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0">link</a>

    Hopefully someone can coax him out for atleast one more role otherwise Welcome to Mooseport was his last film. :eek:

    That was a terrific duo. They should have made another flick together.

    I agree with whoever said Carrey and Daniels. Carrey was his usual self but Jeff Daniels pulled out all the stops and made that one of the greatest comedic combinations in a single movie.

    Some others:

    Interesting. I read that Michael Mann did shoot them together in that scene because he wanted them to play off each other in person. I guess directors wouldn't normally do that for whatever reason. Found these photos:

    this is probably the best right here, especially raging bull and casino, good fellas is a great movie also but I love their relationships in the other two.
