What's Your Favorite Buddy Movie?
Channel-surfing, I recently stumbled upon the
movie, "The Defiant Ones" (1958). In it, young Tony
Curtis and Sidney Poitier play escaped inmates who
are chained together as they run from the law. It's
a great and gritty movie, and it got me thinking
about "buddy movies."
Here's the list of Best Buddy Movies that popped
into my mind. E-mail me at neil@neilchethik.com if
you want to add to the list.
- The Defiant Ones (1958) Tony Curtis and
Sidney Poitier
- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Paul Newman and Robert Redford
- The Odd Couple (1968) Tony Randall and
Walther Matthau
- The Sting (1973) Newman and Redford again
- Midnight Run (1988) Charles Grodin and
Robert De Niro
- Wayne's World (1992) Mike Myers and Dana
Carvey
- Shawshank Redemption (1994) Morgan Freeman
and Tim Robbins
- Fight Club (1999) Brad Pitt and Edward
Norton
- Brokeback Mountain ( 2005) Heath Ledger and
Jake Gyllenhaal
- Superbad (2007) Jonah Hill and Michael Cera
