	Category:Buddy films - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buddy films, including buddy cop films, usually have two protagonists.
		Regardless of other aspects of their plots (comedy, action, even drug use in the case of stoner films), buddy films characteristically examine or comment on the nature of friendship.
		The category can have significant overlap with films in Category:road movies since events on the trip serve as a plot device for exploring or advancing the friendship of the protagonists.

	BlackDet
		The film is a biracial buddy film teaming Poitier's character with a white police chief, Gillespie (Rob Steiger), and is one of the few biracial buddy films that makes race one of the main issues of the narrative.
		Biracial buddy films explore issues of masculinity through the differing racial backgrounds of the two heroes, each man developing a mutual respect for the other because of his difference—not in spite of it.
		It is because this film is a retrospective one.

	Science Fiction Films
		Its importance as an early science-fiction film was that it served as a precursor and inspiration to Universal's Frankenstein (1931) film and many other plots of sci-fi films (with mad scientists, superhuman androids, Gothic elements, and the evil effects of technology).
		Even today, the film is acclaimed for its original, futuristic sets, mechanized society themes and a gigantic subterranean flood - it appeared to accurately project the nature of society in the year 2000.
		The Flash Gordon films were remade in 1980 (with Sam J. Jones as the title character and Max von Sydow as Ming, with music by Queen), and in 1997 as the animated Flash Gordon: Marooned on Mongo.

	Searching for films by genre
		Adventure films are set in an exotic location or different historical period, from the middle ages through the 19th century.
		In the hard-boiled detective film, crime becomes a dark metaphor that is symptomatic of what is wrong with society, rather than simply a single aberration from the norm.
		Film noir was primarily made in a cycle during the 1940s and into the 1950s, but includes work made in previous and subsequent years that invoke the feel and mood of classical film noir.

		Buddy Ebsen (April 2, 1908 – July 7, 2003) was an American actor, who is best-remembered for his role as Jed Clampett in the popular television series ''The Beverly Hillbillies''.
		He was rushed to the hospital nine days after filming began, when his lungs seized after a week of inhaling aluminum dust from the dangerously experimental "tin" makeup.
		His last film performance was reprising the voice of Scuttle, the goofy little seagull, in Disney's ''The Little Mermaid'' (1989) for the direct-to-video sequel ''The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea'' in 2000.

	Matthew Hunter's Buddy Cartoons Page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Buddy, a young boyish character of varying age and design from cartoon to cartoon with no particular uniqueness about him, was a sort of song and dance man who spread happiness throughout the world in all he did.
		The film "Buddy's Day Out", directed by Tom Palmer, is a bland day-in-the-park-turned-bad adventure, with Buddy (here a young boy in the Columbia 'Scrappy' vein) and his girlfriend Cookie taking care of a baby, Elmer, and promptly losing control of him.
		In one, Buddy is the captain of a steamboat full of wacky passengers, in the other he is the goofball owner of a bar full of silly German patrons, and an increasingly drunk oompah band.

	McFarland - Publisher of Reference and Scholarly Books
		This critical study analyzes the idealized interracial relationships, the heterosexual masculine roles within the films and the appearances of this kind of film in various genres.
		Films with a myriad of racial and ethnic combinations are also analyzed, such as Tin Cup, Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon and Ocean’s Eleven.
		Ranging from such famous buddy hook-ups as Tonto and the Lone Ranger, to Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis, to Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte, and well beyond, Masculinity in the Interracial Buddy Film’s sophisticated discussion of the issues is clear, comprehensive and a pleasure to read.

	Willamette Week Online \| Screen \| COMMENTARY \| Tokens of Affection \| Wednesday July 3rd, 2002
		The origins of what is now considered the traditional buddy film can be found in the late '50s and early '60s, as America was facing its most difficult trials and tribulations, racially speaking.
		The result was the resurgence of the buddy film; or more appropriately, what I like to call the "affirmative-action action film." Hollywood was able to include "safe" fl characters that didn't threaten the sensibilities of its white audiences in Topeka.
		If anything, they do more damage to the furtherance of fl film: As long as buddy films continue to capture the dollars of fl audiences, there is no need to produce films that cater to the needs of those audiences, who are often starved to see images of their people on the screen.

	Buddy Clark Articles
		Buddy Clark was one of many fine singers from the thirties and forties who have not received all the acclaim they truly deserve.
		Buddy Clark appeared on film in RKO's production of "Seven Day's Leave" in 1942 and his voice was heard in several Hollywood feature films, most notably, "Wake Up and Live" in 1937, "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now" in 1947, "Melody Time" in 1948 and "Song of Surrender" in 1949.
		Buddy Clark was only thirty seven years old when he died, but more time than that has elapsed since his untimely demise and his many recordings continue to provide pleasure and enjoyment to all who hear them and will for years to come.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Buddy Holly Story
		It seems that The Crickets (Buddy's backing band) had sold their story (to someone else) already, and the filmmaker was therefore forced to change their real names in this film.
		The most dazzling aspect of Buddy's life to me is the way he pioneered the white guy's right to be funky.
		Buddy Holly only lived twenty-two years, and I would bet a dollar almost everyone on the planet could sing a few bars of at least one of his songs.

	Susan Isaacs: Friends, Friends, Friends
		The numbers are nowhere near those of the male buddy film, probably for the simple cultural-historical-sociological-stupnagel-sexist reason that women are considered neither as important nor as interesting as men.
		Whether female buddy movies focus on the relationship between two women, or the dynamics of a group, or treat sisterhood as an important secondary theme, the women in them are almost invariably brought together by predictable, traditional concerns: men (the procurement and retention of same); children; and, occasionally, careers.
		The film is a rare one in the genre because it depicts two women whose friendship transcends the usual concerns of men, children and careers.

	Wings / DVD Clara Bow DVD - Michael Weise Productions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It remains one of the great anti-war films even though the war it refers to is World War I. It also marks the apex of the careers of its three stars: Clara Bow, Charles "Buddy" Rogers, and Richard Arlen.
		While basically one of the first buddy films, WINGS manages not only to capture the horrors of war (as THE BIG PARADE with John Gilbert had two years earlier) but the innocence of pre-WWI America as personified by the three main characters.
		By the time the film is over you long for its beginning and the stability of small town America before war tears everything apart.

		Films in the haven't-we-seen-this-before category include "Fled," with Laurence Fishburne and Stephen Baldwin in a sort of dumbed-down "Defiant Ones," and "Gone Fishin'," with Danny Glover and Joe Pesci, who clearly should have stayed home.
		There is hardly a permutation of the buddy movie that hasn't been exhausted, except, of course, the female buddy movie.
		The reason for the dearth of female buddy pictures, as often noted, is that we tend to associate bonding with men, not women.

	Buddy-cop genre is still a hit \| www.azstarnet.com ®
		Such films are passed off as rote today, but they continue to be made not only because they speak to the coveted 18-34 male demographic, but because they're easy to write.
		Just about every time, one of the buddies gets himself into trouble that he's got no chance of overcoming himself, and always the buddy is there to come to the rescue.
		The movie often credited as being the first buddy-cop film was the solemn "Nighthawks" (1981), which teamed Billy Dee Williams and Sylvester Stallone as two New York City cops who are transferred to an elite anti-terrorism unit.

	Buddy Centavo
		"Buddy" Centavo started his career in film in the mid-60s, and although his films do not draw what they once did (in drive-in theatres out west), they are still shown on Mexican TV.
		Buddy Centavo was managed by the notorious Jesus Alejandro Miguel Ruez Montoya San Spunco Rio El Tavey, and by an unknown co-manager.
		His films were highly acclaimed in the 60s and 70s (by other Mexican wrestlers), but when his success in film faded in the early 80s, he disappeared altogether.

		Director Takeshi Kitano, who thought he'd be forever expected to make films about gangsters, violence, life and death (see "Violent Cop" for further details), is pleased that he had the chance to create "Kikujiro", a tale of growing up, personal need and friendship.
		Gentle, observational, but punchy and highly amusing,"Kikujiro" is about a lonely nine-year-old boy, Masao, whom we first encounter sitting alone in his grandmother's house (she is out working), brooding over the emptiness of his life.

		The film boasts a cool soundtrack and appearances by Carrie Fisher, John Candy, James Brown, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, and Steven Spielberg.
		Four big-city buddies (Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox) go on a rafting excursion in the backwoods of Georgia and run afoul of some locals, one of whom is killed after assaulting them.

	Film: Top Twenty Lists
		But bear with me. One of my favorite tasks on the first day of my introductory film class in the January term is to share a list of what I consider to be the year's best films.
		As I have matured as a film viewer, I have been drawn to international cinema, independent films, and American films that provide three-dimensional characters facing complex and ambiguous moral dilemmas.
		I want films to challenge me, confront me, encourage me, and remind me of the uncharted depths of the human psyche.So from my perspective, then, perhaps lists like these can be regarded as a reflection of the failure of American cinema to embrace challenging themes and idiosyncratic characters.

		This might be a genre that we haven’t studied (horror, science fiction, action, martial arts, buddy films, musicals, detective stories, gangster films, slacker films, journey films, etc.), a particular star, or a particular director.
		For at least three of the films, look up critical responses to it, and include a discussion of those in your response cards (which will, in those three cases, turn into brief response papers).
		For example, if you’re presenting journey films, you might read a book made into such a film (such as TheWizard of Oz) or a piece of literature that uses the same quest pattern (such as The Hobbit or The Odyssey).

		I enjoyed the innocence of this film and how the characters had to deal with the reality of having a powerful animal in their midst.
		Usually these type of Hollywood films that take place in the past feel the need to create a straw-man villain but the only adversary is the gorilla.
		Not many films venture into this territory and it's worth seeing if you want to contemplate the human-animal similarity.
