[Closed] Best film that defines friendship...

I know it may not sound like it from reading a synopsis, but as a climber who has had close shaves in the mountains with a friend, I would say Touching the Void.

Stir crazy
See no evil hear no evil
Shawshank.

Kevin and perry. 😀

Sid james And Bernard bresslaw in carry on camping.

Any fim with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in it, regardless of the narrative and the characters they play.

All the Wallace and Gromit films.

I want to say Leon, but something tells me that's just wrong.

+1 for A Boy and His Dog.

Agree

It's really got to be Shaun of the Dead.

Looks after his mate even when he becomes a Zombie.

Midnight Cowboy.

Hoffman at his understated best.

In the Heat of the Night

Birdy.

Hellraiser

Withnail isn't about friendship. The final scene is the saddest film scene ever!

I'd vote Trainspotting or the Big Lebowski, for the dynamic between the main characters.

And though it's not a film, for the same reasons: Generation Kill

I'm going to chuck in...

Planes, Trains and Automobiles!

Up.

Shawshank Redemption

Te first five minutes of Up defines love and commitment, but I'm not sure that the rest of the film defines friendship, even though the two main characters do become friends.

I'm going tot vote for Act of Valour.

The Odd Couple

+1 for Butch Cassidy.

For blokes/lads etc The Odd Couple is the best answer here.

For girls - too many to choose from 😉

Thelma & Louise surely?

the sunshine boys - George burns and walter Matthau

white men can't jump

midnight run....deniro

Point Break.

That moment when Keanu watches Patrick head off into the murderous surf… 😥 😥 … and you know they're bros 4ever.

Perfect friendship, right there.

Bill & Ted.

I'd go for Up.
Point Break is a good cal, too.

Lost in Translation.

Shawshank Redemption (Morgan Freeman) great film

Dumb and Dumber.... a mate that lets you piss down his back.... now thats friendship

The Straight Story.

Debbie does Dallas

The Karate Kid (1984)

Anything with Charters and Caldicott, obvoiusly.

I'll go with 'The Lady Vanishes', as it also has Googie Withers in her snappers.

The Straight Story.

Oh, great call.

Yeah, the Shawshank redemption is a contender, for sure, imo.

[i]I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.

^ Floods of lip-quiver. Thanks for that. I love that film, it's like a fine brie - ripe before it even hit the shelves, predictable yet full-bodied. A comfort food for any occasion. All it took was time and pressure to make me a convert for life.

Now I'm thinking of Cinema Paradiso.

Has to be 'Adam and Paul'

Best of pals

Star Wars

Ref End scene 🙂

(But +1 for stand by me)

The Big Lebowski. The dynamic between Dude, Walter and Donny is perfect.

Big Wednesday is the best film about friendship and growing up.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - shows how money can create friendship but also destroy it
