Totally forgot about "Tombstone." Great movie...

"Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave." Doc Holliday's line when he shows up to duel the cowboy, Ringo in Wyatt Earp's place.

Another movie that speaks well of male bounding is Ordinary People. The final scene between Calvin and Conrad (father and son) really depicts the capacity to be vulnerable. It was particularly poignant as the film ended with their loving embrace. As it panned out, they looked as if they were sculptured together.

Cliffhanger is another one that comes to mind. Slyvester Stalones character and that guy who plays Hal Tucker stand up for each other throughout the film.

OK, maybe this is a girl's point of view, but what about "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Sam and Frodo, Merry and Pippin, Aragorn and every one else. Just watched all 3 films again, and there is definite camaraderie and care between all the characters.

Yes, I mentioned the LOTR films in post #3.
They are definitely films about fellowship.
(I'm a girl, too. )

Has The Blues Brothers already been mentioned? Yes, it's a comedy, but those guys loved each other.
What about Of Mice and Men?

Default stand by me.

I'm not sure if you would consider this male bonding in a sense because the characters are younger. But I think stand by me was a good teenage male bonding movie.

Default Silver Streak (1976)

Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were at the height of their special magic as a team. Also a _very_ appealing Jill Clayburgh, wonderful rich characters, and a Hitchcockian plot

George Caldwell: I can't pass for black.
Grover Muldoon: Who you tellin'?I didn't say I was gonna make you black. I said I was gonna get you on the train. Now we got to make them cops think you're black.
[rubs shoe polish on George's face]
George Caldwell: It'll never work. Never.
Grover Muldoon: What, you afraid it won't come off?

Default Nobody's Fool (1994)

Paul Newman - need I say more? But seriously this is really a "guy" movie.

Sullivan (Newman) on and off with work partner "Rub"
Rebonding with his son and grandson. Son rebonding with his son.
Small town guys' poker game and neighborhood bar
Sully and his hapless lawyer...

Peter: So if you're not a father to me, how come you're a grandfather to Will?
Sully: 'cause you gotta start someplace.

Sully: I should have known better than to hire a one-legged lawyer.
Wirf: You can't afford a two-legged lawyer.

Toby: Oh, you're a man among men, Sully.
Sully: Well, thanks.
Toby: That wasn't a compliment!
