Top Ten Actor/Director Pairings

It is lovely that TIME decided to put Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese front and center for the top Actor/Director pairings, and lord knows The Departed and The Aviator are two of Scorsese’s best films, but I’m sorry to say that DeNiro is the actor they should have named as the best Actor/Director pairing where Scorsese is involved. Respect.

Other pairings they didn’t mention (and they do mention some great ones):

Joel and Ethan Coen and Frances McDormand
Orson Welles and Orson Welles
Woody Allen and Diane Keaton (or Mia Farrow)
Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman
David Fincher and Brad Pitt
Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman
John Hughes and Molly Ringwald
Rob Reiner and Billy Crystal
Nora Ephron and Meg Ryan
Mike Nichols and Meryl Streep
Steven Soderbergh and Benicio Del Toro
