Paul W.S. Anderson and his wife Milla Jovovich.

They've done five Resident Evil films together, and The Three Muskateers, and the Resident Evil franchise is open for more sequels. And she designs her own costumes, it's the perfect relationship really!

[Saints 2010]

P.T. Anderson and Philip Seymour Hoffman
The Coens and Frances McDormand, John Turturro and George Clooney
John Hillcoat and Guy Pearce
Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe

[octagon]

Billy Wilder/Jack Lemmon and Scorcese/DeNiro have produced some of my favorite films but the top honors probably go to Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune.

I don't love everything they did (hell, I don't think I've seen everything they did, they did sixteen films together) but I've loved a lot of them and liked the rest just fine.

[DragonOfTheBlackPool]

Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron

The Terminator
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
True Lies


Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ivan Reitman

[Tyger]

Not as prolific, but one of my favorites...

David Lynch and Kyle MacLachlan

Blue Velvet
Dune
Twin Peaks (the reason television was invented)
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

They need to work together again

Love the admittance of research technique. I am a Google addict. I found a link that lists the answer to my question but wont post it. There are obvious over looked ones and surprises too.

We parrot what we hear. Like your buddy who quotes ESPN :0

I found a portion of your reply to be very bizarre... what are you referring to? MY "friend who quotes ESPN"? What are you talking about? What did i miss?

Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. Arguably one of the funniest screen partners ever in my opinion.
