When we think of iconic Hollywood partnerships, we often think of leading men and leading ladies - Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. Or maybe we think of iconic buddy duos, like Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, or Buzz Lightyear and Woody, or Godzilla and King Kong.

But equally as essential - if not more important - are actor-director pairings. From the Golden Age of Hollywood to the 1970s new school to the modern blockbuster environment of Disney, Marvel, Warner Bros and HBO Max, directors have stayed crucial, and certain actors have stayed very loyal.

And why not? Whether you’re making a big budget musical like Singin’ in the Rain, an experimental war epic like Apocalypse Now or Zack Snyder’s Justice League, actors want a director who is inspiring, who is trustworthy, who knows cameras and lenses and marks and story arcs like the back of their hand. Equally, directors want performers with smoldering presence, with charisma and vulnerability, toughness and humor.

So it makes sense that an actor who has found a winning - and potentially Oscar worthy - chemistry with a director will want to work with them again. And if the partnership has brought in big box office receipts, all the better.

In this video, we’ll be looking at 25 actor-director partnerships that have struck movie gold again and again. From iconic black and white Westerns to the modern action franchise environment, these are the collaborations that define the genre.
