Friendship has been cookie-cutterized on-screen for so long, that sometimes – often times – we feel that all of that can’t possibly be true. But every now and then a very true friendship comes to fore: it’s the ride or die friendship, it’s the cant-let-a-guy-come-between-us friendship, it’s the unlikely friendship between two people, it’s the melancholic but all too real friendship with a lover gone by, it’s the friendship that has a meddler, it’s the friendship that even though has specks of romance, it never truly loses its intrinsic essence, and lastly it’s the friendship that rests in the vulnerability of a time you both cherished deeply.
These friendships are real, raw, and more blissful than any possible relationship you can ever have. So savour them, protect them, bask in the glory of them.
1. Thelma and Louise
“You said you ‘n’ me was gonna get out of town and for once just really let our hair down. Well darlin’, look out ’cause my hair is comin’ down!”
2. Bend It Like Beckham
“Oh, it’s so amazing! Me and Jess there together, the pair of us!”
3. The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants
“Somehow we would always find out way back to each other”
4. My Best Friend’s Wedding
“I have done nothing but under-handed, despicable, not even terribly imaginative things since I got here. But I was… Michael, I was just trying to… to win you. To win you back. But that doesn’t excuse any of it. I’m… pond scum. Well, lower actually, I’m like the fungus the feeds on pond scum.”
5. Stand By Me
“I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?”
6. ET
“You could be happy here, I could take care of you. I wouldn’t let anybody hurt you. We could grow up together, E.T.”
7. The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
“We’re not supposed to be friends, you and me. We’re meant to be enemies. Did you know that?”
8. Celeste And Jesse
“Do you think it’s weird we hang out all the time?”
9. Bridesmaids
“I feel like her life is going off and getting perfect, and mine is just like…”
10. Perks Of Being A Wallflower
“Why do I and everyone I love pick people who treat us like we’re nothing?”
11. Goodwill Hunting
“The only feeling of real loss is when you love someone more than you love yourself”
12. Romy And Michelle’s High School Reunion
“I made us a tape of all the nostalgic songs from high school to get us in the mood.”
