Top 5 Acting Couples
John and Joan Cusack--David and Liz Gordon (Martian Child)

(Granted, it's not the best picture, but it's a scene of the two of them together, so it works)
These two... are basically the reason I even watched this movie. I mean, I think I probably found out earlier that they were siblings, but after watching them argue with each other in a certain scene in Martian Child, I KNEW. And I loved it. Separately, John and Joan are reputable actors in their own rights. Put them in front of a camera together, and you can pretty much tell who's the older sibling.
Seamus and Juliana Dever--Detective Kevin Ryan and Jenny Ryan (Castle)

D'awww!! THEY'RE SO CUTE!!!!! *happysigh* Readers of my blog, say "Hello" to my FAVORITE COUPLE on one of the best crime shows on TV! Detective Ryan was my favorite character from Day 1.... so when a girlfriend named Jenny materialized, I got a little excited... and when I found out that it was HIS WIFE--I just about swooned. There's something remarkable when a married couple gets to share their love for each other onscreen. Just the way he looks at her, you can see a dynamic between them that doesn't quite make it to actors who are only pretending to be a couple. I positively adore watching these two!
James and Oliver Phelps--Fred and George Weasley (the "Harry Potter" Series)

These two thoroughly embraced their roles as twin brothers Fred and George in the Harry Potter movies--enhanced, no doubt, by their "lifetime of knowledge." Watching them grow their characters from two little mirror-images constantly confusing their mother to two distinct yet inextricably connected brothers in their own right was wonderful to behold.
Anna and Freddie Popplewell--Susan Pevensie (Chronicles of Narnia) and Michael Darling (Peter Pan)

Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington--John and Mary Watson (Sherlock)

I still remember watching the Series 3 premiere and thinking, "Wait... Isn't that his real-life wife?" The friend I was with remarked that the actress looked very similar, but it couldn't be.
She totally is. I totally called that one.
Once again, we have a case of "real-life-wife-plays-girlfriend-who-becomes-screen-wife." And as with the Devers on Castle, it just couldn't get any more adorable! She may have been playing his girlfriend at first, but she is most undoubtedly his wife, from the way she notes his discomfort when he is preparing to propose, to the calm, capable way she assures the newly-"resurrected" Sherlock that she'll "talk him 'round" when John--hurt at the way Sherlock disappeared and the fact that his boorish ignorance ruined a perfectly-prepared proposal--totally bashes him in the face and refuses to forgive him or accept an apology. Martin and Amanda have succeeded in making the Watsons unforgettable and inseparable in a way no other acting pair has.
Honorable Mention...
Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham--Mr. and Mrs. Holmes (Sherlock)

This list was so adorable it nearly killed me (Especially the bit about Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington...and fans were set to hate her? 0.o) I absolutely LOVE your hit lists as they are fun to read and offer some humorous insights that I often never noticed before. Keep them up! :)
