The Couple: Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise

The erstwhile golden couple of Hollwood, Cruise and Kidman had previously co-starred in Days of Thunder and Far and Away, but Eyes Wide Shut was undoubtedly the most interesting of their collaborations.

The final movie from legendary auteur Stanley Kubrick can't have been a walk in the park for the married pair, as the perfectionist director shot the movie over a 400 day period (claiming a Guinness record nod for 'The Longest Constant Movie Shoot').

Their efforts paid off though, as the movie, which was initially coldly-received, is now regarded as a suitable bookend to Kubrick's superlative body of work.

Onscreen Chemistry? Spades, though not in the way audiences were expecting. This is a relationship under examination in claustrophobically close quarters, with neither Cruise or Kidman flinching from the difficult material.
