To Paul,

We love movies in this house, so we tend to see quite a few of them. I have to agree with you about the lack of on screen chem. Let me think...

I thought Amanda Peet and Ashton K. had it in "Alot like Love", though that wasn't a recent movie.

I wonder if something is lost these days because celebrity news tells so much about the stars lives that we can't help but bring what we've heard to the movies with us? I know all the Brad and Angie stuff ruined my ability to see any more of either of their movies. Mr and Mrs Smith was not good in my opinion either.

No, screen chemistry is not dead. I suggest the recent film, Dan in Real Life as an example of wonderful, hot chemistry in a movie. Check it out. Fun picture.

I should add that in my opinion, Brad hasn't been "hot" since "Legends of the Fall".

As for chem. I forgot about J. Depp, and Juliet Binoche in "Chocolate". They had it I think.

Micheal-

I have to agree with you on that. We lovedddddd that movie. I think we saw it 3 X at the theater, now have to buy it!

this is turning into a Juliet Binoche thread....how about the one she won the oscar for....The English Patient.

I love Steve Carell and there was great chemistry in that movie. I wonder if the lack of it in other movies stems from the story taking the characters straight to sex without building up the relationship...

the key to Dan in Real Life...

the man was lovelorn or lovesick which rarely happens in movies anymore...

P.S. I Love You almost worked in that vein as well.
