10 Iconic Couples of the Golden Era Then and Now (4 of 6)

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton — The Terminator, 1984

Arnie and Linda are one of the best “hunter vs. survivor” dynamics ever. Their dynamic duo effectively revitalized the action genre, establishing Sarah Connor as the archetype of the contemporary action heroine. More recently, Schwarzenegger jumped into TV with Netflix’s spy-action comedy FUBAR, which was ultimately cancelled (as is common with Netflix shows), while Hamilton has returned to sci-fi action with Osiris and discussed how “retirement” wasn’t for her.

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock — Speed, 1994

On the one side, we have an exhausted cop, and on the other, a regular person, who instantly becomes the most competent bus driver in cinema history. The high stakes and their chemistry are really what this whole franchise became known for, but it all started here. These days, Reeves is officially set to return for John Wick 5, not to mention a sort of reunion: he and Sandra Bullock will co-star in an untitled romantic thriller sometime in the near future!
