Lethal Weapon 3.

The bomb on the bog scene. Deeply moving analysis of the issues in male friendship.

The Deer Hunter is one of my favourite films, but it does have a marmite effect on people. Some people even think you're joking when you say it's a fave. "What that reeeeaaally loooooong [i]boring[/i] film where nothing happens for three hours until the decent Russian Roullette scene?"

Is 'Withnail...' not more about dysfunctional companionship than friendship? Withnail is a terrible friend: totally self-absorbed and, towards Marwood, unsympathetic, highly exploitative and deeply cynical.

Fair comments but all the best ones had already been mentioned and Withnail did love him

Withnail did love him

Yes, in a co-dependent, desperate, alcoholic sort of way, I suppose that he did. I sometimes think that it's the most perfect film ever made. Story, script, locations/sets, actors, photography, editing and music - all just so brilliantly done.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

For girls - too many to choose from 😉

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.
