5. Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.– Sherlock Holmes

One of the greatest things about Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” films is the on-screen chemistry between Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. While promoting “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,” Downey shed some light on Holmes’ relationship with Watson. “Truth be told, the bottom line with these stories, it’s about this one man’s observation of this other man who tells him that he is the only true friend he has and him realizing that he is the only person that he is actually very, very close to besides his wife. I think that that’s just a great theme. The bottom line is that we are in this love together,” he said.

4. Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson – Wedding Crashers

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson have an incredible amount of on-screen chemistry and this was especially evident in “Wedding Crashers.” According to Carina Chocano of the Los Angeles Times, at the heart of the story, is the bromance between Vaughn and Owen’s characters. “Underneath the diarrhea gags, the long lens at close range of Vaughn’s pants and the handcuffs, it’s really just a love story about a couple of buddies who live happily ever after. And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer, more charming couple.”

2. Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock – The Heat

“The Heat” is like a raunchier version of “Starsky & Hutch;” however, the chemistry between the two leads – Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock – makes the film worth seeing. “If you need another reason to see it, I can’t in good conscience supply one, since the story is sloppy and thin, many of the jokes are strained or tired, and the level of violence is a bit jarring. But the volatile chemistry between Ms. McCarthy and Ms. Bullock is something to behold, and carries The Heat through its lazy conception and slapdash execution,” a New York Times reviewer wrote.
