Best "BuddyBuddy" Movies.

[Smokey]

It was very tempting to include movies such as City Slickers in this category which have three lead characters, but as they say: Two's Company, and Three's a Crowd. So it was not included.

Not in any particular order:

Midnight run (1998): By far, Deniro’s best action comedy film.

Odd Couple (1968): Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau make a perfect duet, but not necasarly a perfect couple.

Gunfight at Ok Corral (1957): Marshal and an outlaw team up to rid town of cattle rustlers

Tommy Boy (1995): The funniest comic team since Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.

Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948): Bela Lugosi in a comedy movie!

Thelma & Louise (1991): Brad Pitt almost derailed this movie, but Harvey Keitel pulled it through.

Midnight Cowboy (1969): A taste of real New York.

Cheech and Chong's Nice Dream (1981): You get the munchies watching this movie.

Easy Rider (1969): Freedom is just another word for nothing else to loss.

Salvador (1986): A freelance journalist and his disk jockey friend drive down to El Salvador, drinking, drugging and joking. Then reality hits!

Dumb and Dumber.

[Worf101]

I've a few...

1. "48 Hours" - Nolte and Murphy at their finest. I love this one cause they certainly don't start out as "buddies" but they end up that way.

2. "Running Scared" - An unexpectedly good buddy flick from two stars you'd least expect. Intelligent, funny and not stereotypical at all.

3. "Lethal Weapon" - The original was still the best but LW 2 wasn't half bad either.

4. "Beverly Hills Cop" - Not precisely a "buddy" movie but pretty close.

5. "Rush Hour/Shanghai Noon" - Most times when I hear Chris Tucker I wanna stick my head in an oven but he was alright in this one.

F.A.
Dumb and Dumber would make a perfect BuddyBuddy movie as I have it in my collection, but somehow I didn’t warmed up to that movie. May be I should give it another spin. The “gross-out” comedy scenes are hard for me to watch.

Worf
Good list movies, including Running Scared. Especially the chase scene on the rail road tracks (“Thank you Ace”, and when car window don’t roll down, “Damn you Ace”). And you cheated on the Beverly Hill Cop movie :D

G.C.
Good call on Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid and Some Like it Hot, but have not seen the rest in your list. May have to check them out.

Well, that is what you get for waiting so long to respond :ciappa:

Let see if anybody else can figure what movie was edited out.

Gerald...I couldn't pick SWINGERS because it was more of a group movie, where MADE was just the two of them, according to the original posters idea of BUDDY movies. I tried to stay within the parameters that were set. I also personally found MADE to be much funnier than SWINGERS anyway. Peter Falk...brilliant!!

[GMichael]

What? No Bing Crosby & Bob Hopes movies? What's the world coming to?

I dunno, it's been a while since I've seen Swingers, but it seemed to me that the central relationship between Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn was pretty much the focal point of the movie. I mean, they drifted in and out of other situations, but it always came back to the tug-of-war between Favreau's conscience and Vaughn's destructive influence.

Well, then let's add it to the list.

Thanks for a reminder. I forgot all about them guys. Since they did so many road movies together, may we should do just a thread on that subject :)


Twins

I remember the trailer for that movie before it came out, and there were so many anticipation from trailer that movie is going to be hilarious. But movie did not live up to its expectations. Other than few funny scenes, it was pretty much flat. Same can said about the Black sheep also.


But I loved Thunderbolt And Lightfoot. Goerge Kennedy was awsome in that movie.

Great idea. When do we start?

I too enjoyed Thunderbolt & Lightfoot. But it left emotional scars on this young man at the time.

I let you have the honor. And don't forget to include pictures in your thread :D

You want me to do research and everything? I'll start with this. How do you post multiple pics. When I do it I just get links to the pics.

Yogi ran away from me. I still shook for a bout 30 minutes after he was gone. In TB&LF my hero got beat to the point of being paralized on half of his body. I didn't even understand why his face looked like it was sliding off. I needed my daddy to splain it to me. THE HERO SHOULD NEVER LOOSE!!!! sniff sniff..

But I hope you agree that bizzar scene lead away to one of best ending scenes I ever seen in a movie where they rode together down the road.

About posting pictures, here we go:

I usually go to google, and click on Images. And then enter your subject. It will give you tons of pictures.

Then once you find a picture you are looking for (make sure picture is not too big), Copy&Paste the [whole] address from the browser, and then place it between this HTML code (without the quotation mark):

”address of image”.

You can add as many pictures as you want in your post, but currently AR only allow ten images to be included in your post.

Good luck.
