Pop quiz: did you know Speed turns 30 this year?
The thriller — starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves — debuted on June 10, 1994, taking movie-goers on a heart-pounding ride tinged with a little romance.
“I felt very comfortable with Keanu,” Bullock said recently in a joint interview with Reeves on the 50 MPH podcast, per Variety. “There was nothing that I couldn’t try or do or say that he wouldn’t have, I felt, fought for me to do or say or try, and that kind of trust is very rare with actors. Anytime I threw something his way, he swatted it right back and you just go, ‘Okay, there’s my partner.’ ”
That chemistry brought the two back together for 2006’s otherworldly romantic film The Lake House, giving fans another chance to see the stars together on screen — and on the red carpet. And the photos are just too great not to share.
Here, as Speed marks its 30th anniversary, look back at pictures of Bullock and Reeves in the early years of their friendship.

So is more work together in their future? On the 50 MPH podcast, Bullock did tease, “Before I die, before I leave this planet, I do think that Keanu and I need to do something in front of the camera,” with her costar adding of a potential Speed 3, “I mean, you know — we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park.”
