"this has got to be one of the most high-wattage handsome pairings of all time"
I think you've pegged your answer there and I don't think there is another pair that matches them in talent and looks. While some good movies and excellent actors have been mentioned, they're no Newman and Redford.
Ishtar
is probably the worst movie of all time and there are a lot of stinkers out there to vie for that title.

I would place Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in Raging Bull slightly higher. It's pretty hard to beat that pair. If you're referring more to how attractive the two men are to women than how well they look together on-screen, then yeah, Redford and Newman would probably gain the top spot.

Don't get me wrong, Stakeout is a fun movie, though I'll never see Another Stakeout because it's just the same plot as the first, just with the addition of Rosie O'Donnel, who is utterly disgusting. But Dreyfuss and Estevez is your idea of an "epic" pairing of actors? Dreyfuss is a decent actor, but Estevez would never have been famous, even as brief as his movie career was, if not for being Martin Sheen's son. Just seems like an odd choice. De Niro and Pacino, Eastwood and Hackman, De Niro and Pesci, are examples of amazing actors being paired together. Estevez and Dreyfuss doesn't even come close to the previously mentioned pairings. Now if you had said Dreyfuss and Bill Murray from What About Bob?, then you'd be more on the right track.
