There's something astonishing when a director and an actor just click. Who knows what makes it happen? Maybe it's the project. Maybe it's the personalities. Every year, we see a director and an actor team up to bring a memorable character to life and we love it.

Vanity Fair published 10 fantastic photographs from Annie Leibovitz in a set called "Something Just Clicked" featuring 10 movie marriage from 2008 that gave birth to the year's highest acclaimed films. The one above is, of course, is a great snap of director Danny Boyle and actor Dev Patel for Slumdog Millionaire. The rest follows.

I sighed sadly that one of those partnerships will never happen again. Then I laughed at Clint all by his lonesome.

Head over to Vanity Fair to see behind-the-scenes video from the shoots.
