It looks pretty sweet. You'd think Natalie Portman with a British accent would be just like having Kiera Knightley, but it turns out they have different voices.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Have you noticed that there's a council of goths running Warner Brothers?
Batman Begins, The Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Phantom of the Opera, V for Vendetta...

Good point. And good goth.
Is the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp pairing the one with the most frequency of a director working with a certain actor? Jim Cameron and Bill Wassisname worked together a bunch. Rodriguez/Banderas. Tarantino/Roth. But I still count more Burton/Depps.

Ever? Truffaut did the Antoine Doinel series with the same actor playing the same character for something like 7 or 8 movies (I think one is a short movie). Started with 400 Blows.
post-IMDB: Jean-Pierre Leaud
Deniro and Scorsese.
Jimmy Stewart and James Capra. (also with Hitchcock and Anthony Mann)
Fellini and Marcello Mastroianni.
Woody Allen and Diane Keaton.
Bergman and whathispuss? Max Von Sydow.

Siegel & Eastwood did five movies together. Or six, if you count Eastwood directing Siegel.

Jimmy Stewart and James Capra
I think you mean Frank Capra, Hec. And they only made three films together (Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith...., and You Can't Take It With You), hardly that many.
Burton/Depp is one of the longest big star/big director working relationships around at the moment, but historically I don't think they're that special. In the old studio system days you would get stars and directors from the same stable coming together frequently all the time.
The other contemporary pairing which springs to mind for me is Clooney/Soderbergh (4 films made and one in production - oh, it looks interesting); plus of course they produce other movies together and stuff.

Frederico Fellini and Giulietta Massina, and Marcello Mastroianni.
With Truffault/Leaud and Fellini/Mastroianni there is a deliberate actor as alter ego thing going on.
Ingmar Bergman had a repetory of actors that he employed again and again especially Liv Ullman, Gunnar Bjornstand, Max Von Sydow and Bibi Andersson.
Cassevettes had a regular cast of actors. Hal Hartley often employs the same people.
Kevin Smith has some old faithfuls.

Derek Jarman and Tilda Swinton have worked together a lot.
