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