Paramount Pictures

"It's a classic and their chemistry is undeniably good. Whenever you see the both of them onscreen, you believe in their love. Especially when Rose got off the lifeboat and Jack rushed to her and said how stupid she was for getting off the boat...I was like 'Oh, this is real.' From start to finish, their connection was just so genuine."

—dannabaste14

13. Morena Baccarin and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool (2016)

"Like Wade (Reynolds) says in the movie, 'Your crazy matches my crazy.' The two of them were meant for those roles, and I firmly believe they're the only two people who could've played them."

—xassylax

14. Bill Pullman and Sandra Bullock in While You Were Sleeping (1995)

Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, Inc.

"You were just rooting for them to be together right from the start. Pullman was adorable and, up until this movie, he was always the guy who lost the girl in the movies he was in. This time he got her in the end. Also, this wasn't Bullock's first movie, but it was her first real blockbuster with her in the lead!"

—eimeel

15. Lana Condor and Noah Centineo in To All the Boys I've Loved Before (2018)

"They have such a beautiful friendship off-screen that many of us can only dream of, and the way they act together is very couple-like. Everyone loves this movie because their chemistry is so intense and well displayed."

—nataliizavalaafloress

16. Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender in The Light Between Oceans (2016)

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

"Hands down! This was the first movie where I felt like it was 100% real. Not only the chemistry, but the genuine love just transcends the screen and grabs your heart, too. I wasn’t shocked at all when I read they fell in love while filming this movie and have been happily married since."

—abigailb4637c0d0b

17. Anne Hathaway and Chris Pine in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)

Buena Vista Pictures

"STAY WITH ME. Way before Pine catapulted to stardom in Star Trek, I thought Hathaway had incredibly heart-fluttering chemistry with the blazing blue-eyed newcomer cast as her mischievous suitor. Whether they were spewing witty zingers at each other on a palace stairwell or falling head over heels into a fountain, Princess Mia and Lord Nicholas still light up the screen every time I revisit this joy of a rom-com."

—mavmag

18. Lucy Boynton and Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

20th Century Fox

"They were so cute and believable, and the actors are dating right now in real life!"

—loulabelson

19. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen in Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Focus Features

"There's only one right answer to this question. Every time they are onscreen together, it is so full of chemistry, it might explode. Their dances, their fights, their looks of longing...the scene where they are standing in the pavilion in the rain is pure sexual tension. I’ve never seen two actors have chemistry like that."

—rebeccakate13

20. Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer in The Sound of Music (1965)

20th Century Fox

"They basically invented onscreen chemistry. Just watch them dance the Laendler. It exudes sexual tension."

—jessn40522547b

21. Jodie Turner-Smith and Daniel Kaluuya in Queen & Slim (2019)

Universal Pictures

"Their chemistry was absolutely incredible and made the film unforgettable."

—deadcupcake02

22. Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher in the entire Star Wars franchise

LucasFilm Ltd.

"It helped that you got to see the progression of their relationship over three films, but when they see one another for the first time in who knows how long in The Force Awakens, it's heart-melting."
