Movies are only as good as the characters in them, and sometimes the true magic is less about the individuals, and more about how they work together. But watching the dynamics of partnership can be very different than an entire army hatching a plan so we're breaking them down by size. From small squads to big, these are our picks for the 10 best movie teams of all time.
While partnerships can be based on a sense of contrast like The Odd Couple or Vincent and Jules from Pulp Fiction, they can also transform from animosity to respect like Buzz and Woody from Toy Story or Marshall Cogburn and Mattie from True Grit. Building from a two person team though, dynamics start to shift from an odd man out in a three person group like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the interpersonal mess of a foursome like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or the March Sisters from Little Women. And once we get to groups the size of The Seven Samurai, The Fellowship of the Ring or Ocean’s 11, all kinds of fascinating dynamics begin to play out.
