As per Katherine's suggestion in another thread, and I quote:

7. Jude Law and Nicole Kidman in "Cold Mountain"
Very cold indeed!! They should have changed mountain..

Kevin Costner & Whitney Houston in "The Bodyguard"
Totally! But I loved the movie and the sound track was the very first CD I bought/owned!

As per Katherine's suggestion in another thread, and I quote:

So how 'bout it, everybody?  Who have you all found in your movie travels was supposed to have chemistry but didn't?  I'll name the ones that come painfully to mind to me:

1. Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowall in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (loved his chemistry with Kristin Scott Thomas, though)

2. Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson in "Sense and Sensibility" (I see a pattern emerging, here ;))

3. Ralph Fiennes and J-Lo in "Maid in Manhattan" (oh, the PAIN!)

4. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in "Eyes Wide Shut"

5. William Hurt and Geena Davis in "The Accidental Tourist"

6. Jodie Foster and Richard Gere in "Sommersby"

7. Jude Law and Nicole Kidman in "Cold Mountain"

I know which Julia Roberts/Nick Nolte movie you're talking about, Katherine.  I never saw it, apparently thankfully, and I can't recall the name, either.  I remember hearing it was painful to watch the two of them together.


Can I nominate Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt for "Interview with a Vampire"?  Did I see the end?  Or was I sleeping?  Can't remember...

I haven't seen this one in the thread ....

"Proof of Life" with Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe. Terrible!!!!!

Then there is "Far and Away" with Tom and Nicole (none of their movies together had any hint of chemistry); Adam Sandler and that idiotic remote in "Click It"; Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts in "the Mexican"; AND last, but not least ..... (drum roll!!) Prince and Kristin Scott Thomas in "Under the Cherry Moon" CRINGE!!!!  :P

An asterisk for Hugh Grant:  I thought he and James Wilby had a crackle or two in Maurice.

Gwyneth Paltrow and just about everyone, I liked Proof but she and Jake, uhm no, I liked Emma but she and Jeremy Northam...as friends maybe and in Posession with Aaron Eckhart nope even though I love the film.   The only time  I can recall even a sparkle was in Shakespeare in Love and I still yawned.

So True! And that's when they were having the big affair that broke up Meg's marriage to Dennis Quaid.  Under the circumstances I would have thought we would have seen some heat.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Gwyneth Paltrow in Proof
Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatoo in The Da Vinci Code
Kirsten Dunst with anybody in anything since Interview with a Vampire. I don't think there's chemistry between her and Tobey Maguire. I find her Mary Jane annoying, (or is it her? can't tell)

I didn't like Julia Roberts and George Clooney in any of Ocean's movies they've been together. I'm finding Julia Roberts annoying lately. I liked her better when she wasn't that famous.

Hugh Grant in almost exactly the same role

Hugh Grant always plays the same role. Always.

Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis in 'Top Gun'. Put her with Harrison Ford in 'Witness' though and... yowsah!

Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley in 'Pirates of the Carribean'. (What is all the fuss about Bloom or Knightley?? I don't get it! :-\).

Russell Crowe and Salma Hayek in 'Breaking Up'. It was on TV the other night  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:. OMG, I LMAO - has to be one of the crappiest films I've ever seen!

I wish I could understand my own reaction to Orlando Bloom. Clean-shaven, to me he looks too much like a girl and reminds me of that other annoying girly-man Leonardo DiCaprio. But put a mustache and goatee on Orlando and yeehaw!

Keira Knigthley has a very English prettiness about her, but somebody feed that child a pizza with everything on it--and quick!

He doesn't do a thing for me either way.  Now, Johnny Depp, on the other hand...  I just sense I could party with him, ya know?  ;)

Yeah, I agree. Orlanda doesn't do much for me, either, even when he first came out big. He acts good but his appearance doesn't do anything for me. Now, Johnny Depp on the other hand is a whole other story.  ;D
