I watched "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" yesterday. A surprisingly funny film, and yet another buddy flick. The "me" of the title was Greg, a high school senior played by Thomas Mann. He was so good, I had to look him up. His buddy, Earl, is played by R. J. Cyler. Both new to the screen, pretty much, and rising actors to watch! Their chemistry when they were on the screen together was riveting! Reminded me of Butch and Sundance.

That brings to mind buddy films in general. What are your favorites? Here's a list to help jog your memory.

I see on imdb that a film is coming soon pitting Batman against Superman. That will have to be on the list.

That one has been p-a-a-a-a-n-ed. But I would see it just for Henry Cavill as Superman.  ::)

I believe it's out now, and reviews have not been kind.  LOL

Too bad, as this film was supposed to be a 'stepping stone' to a Justice League movie.

Front-Ranger:
Do you suppose Marvel has been conducting a smear campaign against them? There are quite a few people in the camp of those who maintain that a Superhero with angst is not "manly" enough.

But there's a second strike against the movie for me. Ben Affleck is in it. He's one of my least favorite actors.

I'm not sure, but it does seem that Marvel hero movies do better than the DC ones.
