Richard Gere and Julia Roberts are one of rom-com’s most beloved pairings, and their best work together comes in two Garry Marshall movie hits.

In #PrettyWoman (1990), Roberts dazzles as Vivian Ward, a quick-witted Hollywood escort, opposite Gere’s suave corporate raider Edward Lewis; their opposites-attract chemistry turned a modern Cinderella tale into a box-office phenomenon and pop-culture touchstone.

Nearly a decade later, they reunited for #RunawayBride (1999), with Roberts as Maggie Carpenter, a small-town legend for leaving fiancés at the altar, and Gere as Ike Graham, the big-city columnist who shadows and eventually falls for her.

Both movies showcase why audiences love them together, with Gere’s quiet old-school charisma and Roberts’ spark and warmth blending into a timeless romantic chemistry.
