(#14) Matt Kowalski and Ryan Stone - Gravity
Obviously the circumstances in Gravity did not lend well to romance. However, audiences no doubt felt the strong friendship between the astronaut (George Clooney) and the medical doctor (Sandra Bullock), who were willing to do anything to save the each other, after their shuttle was destroyed in space.

(#15) Howard Stern and Robin Quivers - Private Parts
These two are perhaps no truer example of the idea that men and women can be friends, in real life and on the silver screen. The radio shock jock (Howard Stern) and his trusted sidekick (Robin Quivers) fight pig vomit (Paul Giamatti), NBC executives, and break all the rules, on the path to pioneering a radio genre and live show that still draws millions of listeners every day. Howard Stern's auto-biographical story Private Parts may be about his successful radio career and first marriage, but at the heart of the narrative, is his eternal bond and friendship with Robin.

(#12) Travis Bickle and Iris - Taxi Driver
Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) is an alienated delusional loner in Martin Scorsese's character study Taxi Driver. The Vietnam vet is also an insomniac with the desire to wash away all the filth and scum in New York City. He finds a project in Iris (Jodie Foster), a 12-year-old runaway prostitute, who he feels needs to be saved. Iris and Bickle certainly have an odd friendship, but it's one that drives the taxi driver to extreme violence and destruction.

(#3) Bob and Charlotte - Lost in Translation
Who knows what Bob (Bill Murray) whispered in Charlotte's (Scarlett Johansson) ear at the end of Sofia Coppola's sophomore film Lost in Translation? However, the odd but beautiful friendship between the bitter older movie star and the lonely young girl, blossomed in Tokyo without ever becoming romantic.

(#11) Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter - The Silence of the Lambs
Okay, so maybe we shouldn't call the FBI cadet and the serial killer "friends," but no one can deny the admiration and mutual respect that Starling and Lecter share in Jonathan Demme's Academy Award-winning film, which forever changed the way we pair a fine Chianti with fava beans and liver.

(#9) Lloyd Dobler and Corey/D.C. - Say Anything
Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) is one of those sensitive guys in high school who has two girls as his best friends. When Lloyd falls madly in love with class valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye), he relies upon the advice of his gal pals to help him get the girl who is clearly way out of his league. Corey (Lily Taylor) and D.C. (Amy Brooks) provide sound advice for their friend, the best perhaps coming from Corey. She tells him, "The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy."
