I've read a couple reviews that have singled him out as one of the best things in an underwhelming movie.
He's probably due for a write up in Cintra Wilson's series on Undervalued Character Actors.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Several people in the audience (myself included) exclaimed "Lumberg!" when Gary Cole showed up in The Ring Two.

Thanks, Kate. I owe myself a big music buy, maybe when I graduate. I'll put it on the list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Angela Bassett and Ralph Fiennes in Strange Days
There's a couple I can get really enthusiastic about.
Oh. No. I've found my pairing: Li Mu Bai/Yu Shu Lien in CTHD. I can't think of a topper.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Come on, people, Hepburn/Grant in Philadelphia Story.
Few of the noir pairings work as great couples, because they may have the Hot Hot Lovin' but usually one of them is playing the other and there is no actual love there.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Grace Kelly/Cary Grant scenes in To Catch a Thief are all pretty damn hot. And OMG that scene in On the Waterfront where Brando and Eva Marie Saint have that heartbreaking row and he kisses her and they slide down the wall, weeping. It kills me.

Yeah but so do spiders.
Speaking of noir, JZ watched the original Postman Always Rings Twice with me recently and the legendary Lana Turner/John Garfield chemistry was entirely on display. They're like crazed weasels - you can tell they're about an inch away from pouncing on each other in every scene.
