Today, we have compiled a list of the 7 best classic movie couples that you might totally agree with us. Let’s scroll down and check them out!
Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney were just kids when they started making movies together. Over the course of their career, they acted in 8 films together, the best of them was 1943's Girl Crazy.
While they clearly have a great friendship, the relationships they portray on screen are really innocent. The two of them are super cute together and they obviously like each other a lot - but the tension isn't quite there in terms of romantic chemistry.
Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are two hoofers who have played off each other well in ten of their films together, spanning sixteen amazing years.
Their cinematic partnership is legendary, and for good reason: they're excellent dance partners and always deliver great performances. One of their most iconic movies is Top Hat from 1935.
Throughout their acting careers, Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn made three films together, and three of them are absolutely fantastic movies: Holiday, Bring Up Baby, and The Philadelphia Story.
Bring Up Baby is the best trifecta, mixing the perfect balance between fun and story, and the two of them have such great chemistry whenever they're on screen.:
Rock Hudson and Doris Day starred together in three sex comedy films: Pillow Talk, Lover Come Back, and Send Me No Flowers. Every time you see them on screen, you can really tell that the two are friends who had a lot of fun working together.
Their chemistry literally jumps off the screen — you can't miss it!
Although Judy Garland didn’t take part in as many films with Gene Kelly as she did with Mickey Rooney, the films they starred in together have proven their undeniable chemistry. This synergy is most evident in the sexy flop, The Pirate. This movie is the second of their three paired films, but it is the most cinematic.
While not exactly a couple in the traditional sense, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby always had incredible chemistry in the seven Road to films they appeared together, and this couple is a symbol for that.
They pioneered the buddy movie concept, and for that, they are certainly worth mentioning. Also worth noting is that Dorothy Lamour starred in six of the seven films that were the love of both of them, making them a lovely trio. Sometimes Crosby's character gets the girl, and sometimes Hope's character does - it all depends on the director.
Frank Sinatra and Betty Garrett portrayed the on-screen couple in two musicals: On the Town and Take Me Out to the Ball Game.
Sinatra and Garrett are the absolute favorite on-screen couple from the era of classic movies because of their undeniable chemistry and because Garrett's characters often adore Sinatra’s shy characters. That role reversal for the films of the time was always amusing to watch.
Finally, here are a few honorable mentions for the on-screen couples who abandoned their love: Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.
