Buddy Films
CellarDweller:
Not sure if you would consider this a buddy film, but not long ago I watched the "straight to DVD" film Highway with Jared Leto and Jake Gyllenhaal.

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

For me it's just the opposite -- Ben Affleck is pretty much its *only* redeeming quality. The film has been trashed by critics. And I'm reeeeeaaallly sick of superhero movies. I've pretty much stopped seeing them unless they're some unusual revisionist take on superheroes (like that one with Will Smith was, sort of).
I skimmed through 150 of the list of buddy movies (aka bromances) and the only one I'd both seen and liked besides Butch and Sundance was "I Love You, Man."
In general, I think I do like bromances, though. I like the ones with Seth Rogen and James Franco and Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd, and I liked the TV shows "Alias Smith & Jones" (a Sundance knockoff, but good in itself) and "Star Trek" (I'm not a slash-fiction fan, but Kirk and Spock were the original slash heroes) and "Breaking Bad."

How was it?
Jared Leto is apparently playing the Joker in some upcoming movie and is supposedly freakishly scary.

It was ok, nothing I would rush to see again.

I don't think I've seen him in anything.

Yes, I'm an oldie myself who remembers shows from the late '60s! :laugh:
