Top 11 Bromances

This is a list I did chronicling the Top 11 Bromances. Read it, debate it, enjoy it most of all. I tried to stick with well known movies so forgive me for not having five from before 1980.

I hate that word.

Casablanca should be on the list.

Bah.

Mikey & Nicky
Patti Rocks
Husbands
Unforgiven
Even Boogie Nights, which is in your no movie-history-havin' wheelhouse.

I'm not wild on the term either, Dre. As great as Dante and Randall are for this list, Chasing Amy's Holden and Banky would have been my choice from Kevin Smith's work.

I guess it's an okay idea for a list, but the whole point of listmaking isn't to confirm people's tastes, but expose them to new things. I guess it's possible people haven't been exposed to Butch Cassidy, I guess. But if halofan1 hasn't seen a lot of old movies, I don't know what the point of the list is. And if he hasn't seen Casablanca, what value could such a list be?

Others:

'MASH' - Hawkeye, Trapper John, and Duke have a 3-way going.
'Rocky III-IV' - Rocky and Apollo Creed.
'Citizen Kane' - Kane and Jedidiah.

Bromance is the kind of term you use when you aspire to write for FHM.

Actually, even though I have TCM on constantly, I seem to miss that one. I've never seen it.

You seem to like pointing out what you feel is latent homoeroticism in these "bromances". can't believe you missed these:

How about those Abbot and Costello guys? they were totally gay for each other, especially when the skinny one would hug the fat one when he was scared.

Of Mice and Men was totally a gayfest. You could tell that just under the surface of his anger, George totally wanted to bone Lennie.

Oh and The Ghostbusters? Surprised they never had one big greasy proton pack-aided firehouse circle jerk.

Because clearly it is impossible for two guys to just be friends without wanting to penetrate each other.

Clearly.

To be fair though, The Hobbits totally all wanted each other.

Eh, the guy apologized in post 1 for not knowing old movies. I don't need my classics being branded "bromances" anyway.

I don't disagree with Kirk/Spock. Just what does that make Bones - the crazy ex-wife in the relationship?

The fuck ever happened to just being best friends or buddies? Why in the fuck does sex have to come into the equation. This phrase and "Man-Crush" ought to be strickened.

Rick and Sam, or Rick and Louis?

In either case, I don't see it. The film does not hinge on either relationship (though they are excellent garnish for the main course).

Captain Renault and Rick go off into the fog together, with Rock saying "This looks to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The ultimate in bromance (*shivers*) is the main character going off with a male best friend into the sunset.

Perhaps Biff Tannen and Needles had something on the side.

What with Doc Brown only hanging out with teenage males, I'm surprised he hasn't been caught in a sting from To Catch a Predator.

Doc Brown sexual? Nahhhh. The man was too busy inventing shit.

Now the incest within the McFly's. That's something that needs to be looked at.

Up until then, they are just flirts...we don't know if it develops into a full-on bromance, or if it just ends up a one-night bro-stand.

Knowing their tendencies to date/marry people who look like family-members, one can only assume Uncle Joey looked like this:

The movie had a ghostly blowjob. What more do you need?

Nolte and Murphy's is more a hate-hate relationship, we're shown that Jack had tried to forget about Hammond at the start of Another 48 hrs, it's only due to them having to team up again that Jack allows him back into his life. It's all about denial.

Most buddy movies fit the bill but Showdown in Little Tokyo has quite the whirlwind of macho bonding. Lee idolises the Lundgren character, he spies on Lundgren in his hot tub and then later when the house is being assaulted says to Lundgren ""In case we die, I want you to know that you have the biggest dick I've ever seen on a man". Lundgren's face lights up! Scene before, Tia Carrere is riding him (or her body double is), no reaction.
