13 Celebrity Duos Who Co-Starred in 10 or More Movies Together
The secret to maintaining friendships as an adult is, evidently, making an insane amount of money together.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
The writing/acting pair got their start as uncredited extras in Field of Dreams, and their upcoming film Rip will make 10.
John and Joan Cusack
The siblings have been in 10 movies together, from 1983’s Class to 2008’s War, Inc.
Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
Of Astaire’s 34 films and Rogers’ whopping 73, 10 of them were made together. Standouts include Top Hat (1935), Swing Time (1936) and Shall We Dance (1937).
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
The two lovebirds had a tumultuous relationship that kept them romantically and professionally entwined for decades, resulting in 11 films together.
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau
The iconic duo made 11 movies together, from 1966’s The Fortune Cookie to 1998’s The Odd Couple II. On paper, the best buds only made 10 films, but 1971’s Kotch featured Matthau as the star while Lemmon, the director, made an uncredited cameo. Count it!
Seth Rogen and James Franco
Rogen has largely cut Franco out of his life, publicly and by all accounts personally, after some heinous allegations came out about the latter. Even still, Franco appears to be Rogen’s most prolific comedy partner, with the two appearing in 11 movies together.
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson
Largely thanks to a glut of Zoolanders and Fockers, the two have appeared in 12 movies together.
Myrna Loy and William Powell
They don’t have the name recognition of a Charlie Chaplin or an Elizabeth Taylor, but Loy and Powell were major celebrities in their day, and appeared in 14 films — most notably After the Thin Man (1936), Double Wedding (1937) and I Love You Again (1940).
Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone
The low-key power couple have appeared in 15 movies together, usually with McCarthy in a leading role and Falcone with a quick cameo. Often, he was also directing the movie or had a hand in writing it.
Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin
Their first film together was 1949’s My Friend Irma, and they’d make 17 buddy comedies together over the next decade.
Rob Schneider and Adam Sandler
Just two Republican buds, makin’ goofy comedy together for decades. After leaving SNL within a year of each other, Sandler would throw Schneider a bone with an embarrassing cameo any time he made a movie. Happy Gilmore 2 puts them at 19.
John Wayne and Ward Bond
They were each prolific in their own right throughout the Western craze of the ‘40s and ‘50s, and starred in over 20 of them together, including Tall in the Saddle (1944) and Hondo (1953).
Charlie Chaplin and Edna Purviance
They appeared in over 30 silent films together. They never got married, but they were lifelong pals who hooked up about as often as they worked together.
