The Top 5 Movie Bromances Ever

Behind every great man is a great…bro. Every man needs a good bro to have his back and few things in this world are as important. Even in the wedding party, the Groom’s bro is called the “Best Man,” so it’s clear to everyone how important he is. Bromances transcend regular friendships and a guy should be so lucky to have one  As a good friend of mine once said, “Friends come and go, but bros are forever.” With that in mind, I compiled a list of the Best movie bromances of all time.

5) Bryan Taylor and Mike Zavala, End of Watch

From the moment they fist bump after their first kill until the final scenes of the film, Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña have one the strongest bromances I have ever seen in a film. The strength of the entire movie is bolstered by their relationships and through their interactions on and especially off the job, we are able to see that their relationship transcends friendship. Given the possible mortality of their job, it becomes clear that they have each others back through life and possible death.

 4) Han Solo and Chewbacca, Star Wars IV-VI

Han and Chewie’s bromance is evident from their first moment together in A New Hope. Originally starting out as smugglers, Luke appeals to their noble side and they end up playing an integral part in helping the rebellion, a huge bro move. Han also seems to be the only one who can understand Chewie and Chewie is devastated when Han goes missing in Hoth and is frozen by Jabba. Through thick and thin, these two  bros have each other’s backs. 

 3) Frodo and Sam, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Few bros would go to the end of the world and back for you, but that’s exactly what Samwise did.  Sam nearly drowned, was almost slayed numerous times, and had to constantly thwart off Gollem, but stuck with Frodo all the way until the end and the ring was destroyed. Although Same is less than four feet tall, he has the heart of a giant and has a bro loyalty as strong as anyone. 

 2) Jon and Jeremy, Wedding Crashers

Jon and Jeremy are two of the broest movie characters ever to exist. They party, they get around, and they always have each other’s backs (Rule #1). They compensate for their emotional detachment of women through their strong friendship and their bromance is one for the ages.  They also created one of the funniest movies of all time that will forever be quoted. 

1) Peter and Sydney, I love you, man

The number one choice is obvious as the entire movie is about a bromance. From meeting the bro to courting him, I love you, man is a how to make friends manual. It may have some of weird scenes and may make you uncomfortable at times, but I love you, man is one of the funniest and broest movies I have ever seen. 

Honorable mention: Schmidt and Jenko, 21 Jump Street

Another hilarious movie showing the bromantic relationships of cops. Word has it their bromance has transcended the screen into real life, which could help their chemistry in the planned sequel.
