[IMG:L]Hollywood loves good chemistry onscreen. Here are our favorite co-starring couples, who have reunited again and again to recreate their certain something.
10. Richard Gere and Diane Lane
Nights in Rodanthe is the third teaming of Gere and Lane . They have become one of Hollywood’s favorite couples, having played young lovers in their early years in Cotton Club and then much later in Unfaithful. Rodanthe sort of rounds it all out.

9. Richard Gere and Julia Roberts
Since she only made two movies with him, Roberts has fallen behind Lane. Still, Pretty Woman was so popular that anticipation for her and Gere’s follow-up made Runaway Bride a summer blockbuster.

8. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock
Speed introduced Reeves as the action hero, while it just plain introduced Bullock to the world. Her spunk and his stoicism mixed well, so much so they decided to work together again years later in the romantic The Lake House–sharing just about three minutes of onscreen time together. Even so, their chemistry through letter writing is still there.

7. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore
When it comes to light, breezy romantic comedies, these two are just adorable together. Whether it’s the ’80s period comedy The Wedding Singer or the tropical amnesia love story 50 First Dates, you just want to join in on all their wacky cuteness.

6. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days can’t give all the credit to its catchy title, these two seem so connected at the hip. And that chemistry alone gave us Fool’s Gold. It may also may have officially ended the Matt and Kate coupling.

5. Woody Allen and Diane Keaton
Of all the ingénues Allen directed, his onscreen mojo with Keaton stands as the best (sorry, Mia Farrow). From Annie Hall and Manhattan, to the last Keaton/Allen reunion Manhattan Murder Mystery, these two made it look like they were destined to co-star together.

4. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman
Tom and Nic met on the car race actioner Days of Thunder, got married in real life and then did the Irish immigrant story Far and Away. But their last film together, Eyes Wide Shut, provided double fascination: director Stanley Kubrick‘s last film and the watching Cruise realistically make love to his former wife onscreen.

3. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
Sure, Ryan had sparks with Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally, but when she co-starred with Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle, well, it was “magic.” Again, they didn’t share much onscreen time in Sleepless, but the bond was enough to propel them to do another–You’ve Got Mail. They may still have another one left in them, who knows?

2. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
Fred and Ginger–two names synonymous with the picture perfect idea of a dancing couple. Let’s just say, they’d run circles around the contestants in Dancing with the Stars. So not only did you get to see that classic chemistry over and over again, but they put on a show, too.

1. Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn
With nine films together, Tracy and Hepburn set a record for onscreen collaboration. Woman of the Year, Adam’s Rib, and their last film before Tracy died Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, you cannot deny this couple’s timeless connection to one another–on and off screen.
