I’d like to propose a micro-genre: Bromance films

Definition: Two or three characters (who need not actually be men) just getting up to mad shit and being great friends either before or as a result of the journey. Not entirely unlike a buddy cop movie but no need for cops.

Examples: Princess Bride, Road to El Dorado, Emperor’s New Groove, Three Musketeers

This micro-genre is absolutely predicated on the quality of it’s dialogue but it’s some of the best out there.

I think those are called “buddy comedies”, if you’d include things like Wedding Crashers.

You and I can never be friends. Freddy Got Fingered fucked me up, and not in a good way.
