Male actors who have the best chemistry with actresses?

Gene Hackman has had brilliant chemistry with the following:

Francis McDormand
Angelica Huston
Estelle Parsons
Gena Rowlands
Barbara Hershey
Valerie Perrine
Jeanne Tripplehorn
Candice Bergen

Only the bolded ones are romances, I was just talking acting........in romance he is probably too short and yells too much - he scares them away ray!

Some people like this one but he ruined it by dying. Typical......  

One other "all time" actor who was great with actresses was Albert Finney - though in general the great British actors don't struggle as much with it quite as the great Americans.

Finney not in the romantic "chemistry" way but in the acting way - he always treated the actor opposite him with great respect and played things overwhelmingly perceptively - as early as Saturday Night and Sunday Morning where he has relationships with two women and lets you see into his character through how he relates to each. He also mastered the decaying marriage in several of his best performances, he cornered the market on it and often elevated the game of the actresses opposite him a good deal.

Tom Jones, Browning Version, Under The Volcano, A Man of No Importance, Erin Brockovich, Shoot the Moon - that's a pretty wide range across females of different ages, type and relationships - lovers, spouses, ex-spouses, sister, etc. wide range of actress types : Brenda Fricker, Greta Scacchi, Susannah York, Diane Keaton, Jacqueline Bisset, Julia Roberts. He has "acting" chemistry with each and more too.

This one also - Two For The Road - with Audrey Hepburn:

Brad Pitt? Not necessarily "bad," but certainly very "blah." He does his best acting opposite other men, for sure.

Humphrey Bogart (he really has to be close to the top of this, which is quite funny considering he wasn't exactly good-looking, but this really hasn't much to do with it in fact as for example I really think that Brad Pitt often has a terrible chemistry with women)
Spencer Tracy
Cary Grant
Paul Newman
Gerard Depardieu
Anthony Hopkins

from the younger ones I'd agree about Ryan Gosling

Pretty sure I forgot some guys.

Anyway, back on topic:

Samuel L Jackson has extremely underrated chemistry with female co-stars, though he's not asked to display it often. The Long Kiss Goodnight ( with Geena Davis) and Captain Marvel (with Brie Larson) are two of the very best examples of platonic male/female chemistry I can think of. Neither of those films work without that chemistry. He's not called upon to do it often, but he should.

For me, two of the strongest examples of male/female chemistry in the last decade come from two GOAT level actors (some might argue the two greatest living actors). Daniel Day-Lewis in Phantom Thread (with Vicky Krieps) and Denzel Washington in Fences (with Viola Davis).

Michael Douglas chemistry with actresses was one of the foundations of his career. From Glenn Close to Kathleen Turner to Sharon Stone to Annette Benning, he had some great pairings with actresses.
