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.

There 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?

It has been a long time since I have seen it, but wouldn't "Dead Poets Society" be along this line?

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.

Saving Private Ryan was a great war themed bonding movie.

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING with Sean Connery and Michael Caine is a good one.
