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.
Sean Connery and Denzel Washington.

Jennifer Jones and Isabelle Hupert
Just checking to see if people are paying attention on the thread.
Ingrid Bergman and Meg Ryan
Hah! In thinking through history to come up with my own I think I figured out this one (although I'm guessing on Meg Ryan): Anastasia
Jennifer Jones and Isabelle Hupert
Emma Bovary
Wait, is the Portman/Redgrave thing coming from the school of thought that Star Wars was influenced by Arthurian Legends therefore Padme = Guinevere? If so, that's streeeeetching it, but hee, points for creativity.
ETA:
Anastasia
Yeap! Ryan voiced the character in the animated version.
Ha. No. Vanessa Redgrave did play Anne Boleyn, very early in her career, in "A Man for All Seasons." Her role is quite minor, but I just saw the movie the other day and spend a good bit of time IMDBing all the actors, so it was fresh on my mind.
Wow. I've seen A Man for all Seasons at least a couple of times yet I do not remember Redgrave in it at all. Probably because Redgrave is usually so blonde and tall and statuesque and I always think of Boleyn as small and swarthy and lithe.
How about Peter O'Toole and... Peter O'Toole (same character, two totally unrelated movies: extra point for naming the character and both movies without looking them up!)
Alec Baldwin & Harrison Ford
You also don't remember her because she's in it for a very small amount of time. Grand total maybe 5 minutes, if that. Considering how much of the plot centers around her existence, she doesn't play a very important role in the film.
Colin Firth and John Malkovich
Alec Baldwin & Harrison Ford
Jack Ryan?
