Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.
Humphrey Bogarde and Lauren Bacall.
Great film partnerships between actors/actresses. All of them starring together in different films with different storylines with different supporting casts.
We just don't seem to get that anymore, do we? Unless you count Jay and Silent Bob.
Has the movie industry moved on from this trait? Or are our actors so picky about who they work with that they don't want to be seen with the same person more than once.
I suppose you could say Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman have been a recent partnership (Eyes Wide Shut, Far and Away and Days of Thunder were all vastly different types of movie with the pair of them in it.) But now that they've separated, allegedly on religious differences but I suspect that she just got fed up leaning down to kiss him, we're not that likely to see them in the same movie again for a while.
So is this idea of screen partnerships dead? Or can you think of any partnerships in the recent past or present that are likely to last?

OK so it's not really an on-screen partnership but how about partnerships between directors and actors. They can be just as distinctive as the on-screen combinations and often the chemistry is just as important.
How about Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. With his pale, odd-kind of handsomeness they were born to work together in movies like Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood and Edward Scisorhands and look set to be making films together for a while yet.
Maybe I'd also count John Woo and Chow-Yun Fat in this as he is the ultimate cool assassin in the Killer teamed up with the ultimate action movie director.
Any others?

Back in the 80's Corey Haim, and Corey Feldman starred together in numeroud films, such as:
The Lost Boys
License To Drive
And a bunch more that I don't remember the names of.
They stopped doing films together because people thought they were gay.
Now where are they?
