Definitely William Powell.
I've seen the 6 Thin Man films, Love Crazy and Libeled Lady so far and will be getting all 14 of their films together on dvd eventually.
followed by Cary Grant (Bobby Soxer, Blandings) and then Clark Gable (Test Pilot).If you're watching 'Fullscreen' DVDs, you aren't getting the whole picture.

Even though I haven't seen as full a range of Myrna's movies as I'd like (her MGM movies need to be released pronto!), I'd have to say that her best male co-star is William Powell. As much as I love her, she had a tendency of overact, and when she was in movies without him, her mannerisms were sloppy and the dramatic/emotional scenes bordered on hysteria. Somehow, Bill seemed to smooth her rought (acting) edges and she came across more naturally, and her humor didn't seem forced.

Without a doubt William Powell. I do like her with Cary Grant, as well. When TCM showed 3 of her movies in a row, 2 were with other actors and the other was Evelyn Prentice, EP was definitely the more memorable one because of their chemistry. While I enjoyed her performances in all 3, the other two blended together.

William Powell
Clark Gable
Cary Grant
Melvyn Douglas
Spencer Tracy
In that order although while William Powell wins almost all the way, there is something about the Gable/Loy pairing too. She had great chemistry with both men, even when she and Gable weren't speaking to each other. -

I was just rewatching the original Thin Man movie and it's still a timeless classic.
Out of all her co-stars I'd have to say it was Willaim Powell. The two of them had some incredible chemistry, put them together and it was magic on the screen. Second only to William would be Clark Gable. The two of them were great together.
And if I had to choose a third I'd probably say Cary Grant but part of that has to do with I've always liked him as a leading man and can honestly say that I've never disliked him in any movie he was in.
