It would seem that to qualify for a mention in a thread like this they should have worked on more than one film together?

One that comes to mind for me is Samuel L. Jackson/Quentin Tarantino. These two are typically nails together.

For Scorsese I would say vintage DeNiro was better.

Lucas only directed Ford twice (American Graffiti and Star Wars). Probably should be Spielberg/Ford.

Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro

Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, and Casino are easily in my Top 50 list of favorite movies.

George Roy Hill directed Paul Newman and Robert Redford in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "The Sting", both classics!

George Lucas and Hayden Christensen

Kidding of course, but you know that Leo is an all-time talent when you can pair him with just about any of the big directors and you have an argument:

Scorcese
Tarantino
Spielberg
Nolan

Scorsese and De Niro is the correct answer. I don't think another combination has made so many acclaimed movies together.

Mean Streets
Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
The King of Comedy
Goodfellas
Cape Fear
Casino
The Irishman
Killers of the Flower Moon

James Stewart and Anthony Mann

Eight films, the best of which are

Winchester 73
Bend of the River
The Far Country
The Man from Laramie
The Naked Spur

Stewart had been a bomber pilot with the 8th Air Force in WWII and the characters he played for Anthony Mann allowed him to explore inner darknesses that he had not delved into before the war.

It's a pretty good debate actually.

Arnold/Cameron:
Terminator
T2
True Lies

Paxton/Cameron:
Terminator
Aliens
True Lies
Titanic

Who wins?
