“Entertainment Weekly” ranked the 30 best movie duos of all time. Here are the Top 15:
1. Butch and Sundance, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969)
2. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. They made 10 movies together, including “Top Hat” (1935) and “Swing Time” (1936)
3. Thelma and Louise, “Thelma & Louise” (1991)
4. Han Solo and Chewbacca, the “Star Wars” franchise
5. Bonnie and Clyde, “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967)
6. Joe, Jerry, and Sugar Kane, “Some Like It Hot” (1959) Perhaps better known to you as Marilyn Monroe with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in drag. (Duo? Yes, “EW” admits this is a cheat.)
7. Laurel and Hardy
8. Frodo and Samwise, the “Lord of the Rings” franchise
9. Mike and Marcus, the “Bad Boys” franchise
10. Bob (Bing Crosby) and Phil (Danny Kaye), “White Christmas” (1954)

13. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. They made four movies together . . . most famously, “Key Largo” in 1948.
14. Morticia and Gomez Addams, the “Addams Family” franchise. (This would be Anjelica Huston and Raúl Juliá, who played the couple in those two movies in the ’90s.)
15. Shrek and Donkey, the “Shrek” franchise
The list also includes Cheech and Chong, Batman and Robin, The Blues Brothers, Dorothy and Toto, Abbott and Costello, Cher and Dionne from “Clueless”, and even Laurie Strode and Michael Myers from the “Halloween” movies.
