14 Most Iconic Duos In Cinema History

Every year Hollywood produces more and more movies with memorable characters. Some are great as solo roles, others work best in an ensemble of three and more, and then there are the iconic tandems. These are the roles meant to complete one another. We’re talking Tango and Cash, Magneto and Professor X, Doc and Marty, and many-many more!

Let’s take a quick glance at the 14 most iconic duos in cinema history.

1. Nick and Danny – “Hot Fuzz”

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost could have gotten on this list for any of their brilliant movies, but their chemistry in “Hot Fuzz” in the fantastic parody of the buddy-cop sub-genre was unforgettable.

2. Woody and Buzz – “Toy Story”

These two are perhaps the most famous animated friends right after Tom and Jerry. Whenever one of them is in trouble, the other one will always come to the rescue.

3. Tango and Cash – “Tango and Cash”

Two hot-headed policemen, who are hardly the best examples for any young police recruit, somehow managed to sell their over-the-top machismo even to the most exquisite viewer. Oh, and Sylvester Stallone wearing those glasses was classy as hell.

4. Harry and Marv – “Home Alone”

Harry and Marv are perhaps the worst robbers that have ever existed, but the hilarious moments that these two get into are definitely the selling point of “Home Alone.”

5. Andy and Red – “Shawshank Redemption”

These two are just good people who ended up in prison and became best friends.
