Tremendous Buddy films

Promising, newb'. Very promising.
A Leinie's Original, please.
And search the site for "The Malina Infection."

 

Some Like It Hot
The Blues Brothers
Three Kings
Lethal Weapon

 

I've got a tri-fecta with Brian's Song. Buddy movie (they meet under adverse circumstance, become friends, see each other through hardship, then one of them dies). It's a movie that makes you cry and and the theme makes you cry as well. Buh - da, da-da, da, dum, as we see Pic and Sayers running through the park with Jack Warden telling us the story wasn't about how Brian Piccalo died, but how he lived.

 

My apologies for just the label and not a pint or pitcher.

Yours is the only reference of The Malina Infection, but a google search brought up a bunch of pages about hepatitis C

 

Beaches

Beavis and Butthead

 

Didn't read early entries, but "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." If ever there was a buddy movie ...

Also, "Thelma and Louise."

 

First, I love both movies.
Second, Clerks is hard to count because the "buddy" doesn't show up for the first 20 minutes of a 90-minute film.
Finally, how can you mention two Kevin Smith movies and leave out his best -- Chasing Amy, which is also a buddy movie?
I'm adding Shaun of the Dead to the list as well.
And Fight Club, sort of.
Second Shawshank.
Wedding Crashers.
How about the half (or so) of Pulp Fiction with Vincent and Jules?

 

Damn, we in a tight spot!

 

Sirs, Madames,

I've championed its virtues before but it remains a great lost film, sadly unavailable on DVD: Soldier in the Rain.

From imdb.com

Sentemental military comedy revolves around two contemporary army buddies, Master Sergeant Maxwell Slaughter (Jackie Gleason), a smooth operator, who Supply Sergeant Eustis Clay (Steve McQueen) idolizes and hopes will join him as a civilian in a private business enterprise. Clay endeavors to be a player in the military, just like Slaughter, but it seems as though Clay still has a lot to learn from his mentor. They are joined by Tuesday Weld as a shrill dizzy blonde teenager named Bobby Jo Pepperdine and Tony Bill as bumbling Private First Class Jerry Meltzer, McQueen's screwball sidekick.

A Blake Edwards film.

YHS, etc

 

Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia is easily the best buddy movie with a drunk loser and a dead man's head.

 

Not sure Chasing Amy qualifies. The story revolves around the between Ben Affleck's character and the sort-of lesbian. Banky gets a lot of screen time, but he is really more of a supporting character.

Good call on Shaun of the Dead, right through to the final scene.
