Maverick and Goose

They fly fighter jets together at the speed of sound and then play beach volleyball. So? Night follows day. Judging from the frequency of high (and low) fives, Lt. Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards) and Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) do it all well, and they prefer to do it all together. In a movie full of barely contained homoerotic glances and lots of glistening man-flesh, Goose and Maverick have the real bromance. Why? Because there’s love. You know if they slept in the same bed, it would be full of cuddling and laughter. Now Maverick and Iceman (Val Kilmer) on the other hand…
Craig and Smokey

(Warning: The clip above contains profanity and good-natured marijuana use.)
Yes, Friday revolves around pot-smoking. But it’s real message is not “Get high,” it’s that you can’t survive in the hood without friends. Craig (Ice Cube) is the decent guy with a stable family who can’t resist peer pressure. His pal Smokey (Chris Tucker) is the loveable bad influence who’s trying to evade his murderous drug dealer. Together, they spend one long Friday sitting on a porch smoking away while trouble finds them over and over and over again. OK, they find some of the trouble without any help. But it’s Friday. You aint got s— to do and you know this maaaaaaaaaaaaan! (Ok, you really needed to hear Chris Tucker’s voice for that last sentence to work.)
