Gangster Squad
News
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and—if he has his way—every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop…except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.

Debbie Winger and Richard Geer in An Officier and Gentleman. Jack Nicholson and Shelly McClaine in Terms of Endearment. Both dramatic performances causing them to fall in love due to life hardships.

My favorite romantic movie couple of ALL time is Morticia and Gomez Addams, played so beautifully by Angelica Huston and Raul Julia. The characters ADORED each other and the actors were phenomenal together. And I love Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt in "The Mexican" and they have worked together on other projects, though not, I think, as lovers or partners. As actors they are both compelling in whatever they do.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in Mr & Mrs Smith are wonderful, but they haven't worked onscreen together since. That's quite a shame. They had great screen chemistry which made a successful transition to off-screen chemistry as well.
Another team is Robert Downey, Jr and Rachel McAdams in the two Sherlock movies, and Robert Downey, Jr and Gwyneth Paltrow in the Iron Man and Avenger movies. In both franchises, RD, Jr and his two respective leading ladies have great chemistry with banter and wit and more than a bit of old-fashioned sex-appeal.
And, of course, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, are a dream couple. They are probably my favorite film pairing of all time.
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. They always had excellent chemistry, on and off the screen, and drew the viewer in. No matter if it was Shakespeare, ancient history or a modern-day storyline.
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks are a classic on-screen couple. Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail are well written and entertaining Rom-Coms, even today!
