Cary Grant/Irene Dunne in The Awful Truth. I think they even top Nick and Nora Charles for the most witty/glamorous couple ever (at least for me).

I haven't seen many movies where the chemistry really stood out to me. But Vanilla Sky is the only movie I've ever bought while thinking "Hmm. This movie isn't very good, really, but the couple's chemistry is ridiculous. Worth $9."

Tom/Penelope was HAWT.

I also liked Ethan Hawke and That Woman in Before Sunrise, though I have not seen Before Sunset or whatever the sequel was.

Oh, and I, too, am a sucker for the Ewan/Nicole in Moulin Rouge. And the Jim Carrey/Kate Winslet chemistry is fantastic in about one out of every three scenes in Eternal Sunshine. Better than Kate/Leo at least.

I also like the anti-chemical chemistry of Gwyneth and Luke Wilson in The Royal Tenenbaums.

My favorite John Cusack movie is High Fidelity, which I love and love and love, with Grosse Pointe Blank a close second - it gets two loves, but not three.

In a bit less than three hours, I will see Robots: The IMAX Experience at the Loews in Lincoln Center. I'm excited. I saw HP: POA there and adored it even more than on a normal-sized screen. And the pictures from Robots look GORGEOUS (I like the look of Blue Sky Studio's CG rendering process a bit more than Pixar's, though their storylines are not nearly as... incredible. Heh. Get it?) which will make the IMAX thing even awesomer.

I love the IMAX theater. There is no way for you not to feel like you're in the film, although at times it's almost too much for my mind to handle and I get a headache.

Glad you liked it! I've apparently got quite the reputation in my office for being the guy who likes The Office, because two different co-workers have brought me that article.

I think people are still discovering The Office (I mean, normal people, not obsessives like us). Ricky Gervais is just so damned wrong in the role (and by wrong, I mean, perfect), and there he is in that interview, moving on, past is past. I look forward to his next project.

I need to watch more of the original BBC Office, but I am very excited about the American version, with Steve Carrell.

Heh. Working for the Beeb, it's difficult for me to process a workplace where The Office isn't quoted at least as often as Office Space. Here, not being a fan would be considered Very Odd Indeed.

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to watch the American version. It just won't be the same, y'know?

Lucky devil. I think I could stand a chance of getting nothing but blank stares in my workplace. Our cool temp/contract admin came back to us this week and I think she might know about The Office. Otherwise, not so much.

It just won't be the same, y'know?

Of this I have no doubt, as Brit and American humor can be so different in tone and flavor, but I do have faith in Carrell to make the show his own.

I agree. Of course, The Awful Truth is one of my favorite all time movies. And Nick and Nora lose a few points because of the alcohol abuse. But I also like Harry/Sally and think it is one of the best modern romantic comedies (along with The Wedding Singer)

Now is the criteria "best couple" or "most chemistry"?-- because that is very different to me. I think "best couple" excludes things that don't work out in the end because of one person actually being evil (like The Postman Always Rings Twice)
