Male Bonding2
For those who like to explore the concept and dynamics of male bonding. Men are socialized in different ways in different societies, and so many men would like to have close male friendships, yet after spending time establishing a career, primary relationship and live in general, find themselves without close male friends. Many of us want male friends with whom we can share openly without...
Got any movie recommendations?
Return to DiscussionsThere is Lord Of The Rings, Gallipoli, and Brideshead Revisited. I'm looking for other movies in which male bonding plays a large role in the movie. I am not looking for movies about guys having sex with guys. However, as you can tell by my inclusion of Brideshead Revisited, I'm not looking for the opposite extreme of prudish platonic homophobic male bonding either. What movies would you recommend?

There is a great movie that I came across on Netflix. It's called "Date and Switch" It starts out like a high school buddy movie but then takes a left turn when one of the friends comes out of the closet. I liked it but then again, I'm gay. The woman who played the female lead in "50 shades of Grey" is in it in a comedic role.
There are so many male bonding movies in which men bond in different ways. Friendships, camaraderie, father son, brother to brother, lover to lover. Many films.....some of my favorite are unexpected.
1. Jaws - Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss2. Finding Forrester - Sean Connery - Rob Brown3. Hoosiers - Gene Hackman4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Paul Newman, Robert Redford5. The Longest Yard - Burt Reynolds 6. The Great Escape - Tons of actors7. Full Metal Jacket - Directed by Stanley Kubric8. Diner - Steven Spielberg9. Shawshank Redemption - Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins10. Dirty Dozen - A dozen great actors...ehehe
