With Denzel and Frances soon to be wrapping up Macbeth - what are some of the best "one-time" acting face-offs in film (or TV) history. Not best love stories but just acting that if they interacted again would run the risk of messing it up.

A few to get the ball rolling:

Daniel Day-Lewis and Marion Cotillard showed that they have immensely good chemistry and would probably do extremely well if they had a proper vehicle to showcase it. I still maintain Cotillard was transcendent and the Academy went for the wrong actress from that movie.

Good morning, Oscar Buzz. I'm listening.

Hoffman and Streep must be the ultimate answer here. Fantastic work, but they would have killed each other had they tried working together again.

Have JGL and Deschanel worked together since 500 Days of Summer?

No, but it wasn't their "one time acting-face off" since they also did "Manic" (2001) together, a decent film and both are very good.

Bogart and Bergman are probably the most "iconic movie couple" to only do one movie together. I've met multiple people who thought they got married even though they really hated each other during the shoot.

I have thought before that they would have been great as Napoleon and Josephine instead of doing Nine in 09. DDL was a bit old but that doesn't really matter with him.
