No one in my family likes It's a Wonderful Life.

In my opinion, brothers can definitely be buddies as is the type of relationship I referenced in Hell's Angels.

What is that song they keep playing in the background- especially when Wayne is dragging O'Hara to her brother's house?
I love it and frequently have it stuck in my head.

That's basically what I'm looking for. I am hoping to lean more heavily toward the dramatic; noble friendships like is seen in A Tale of Two Cities. I know there are dozens of such films and thought it would be an interesting topic to explore.
On this forum, much attention is given to romantic pairings but little to friendships.

I remember seeing this scene in the movie "Star Spangled Rythm" its just a skit and a very small part of the movie. If you've not seen the movie I suggest that you do - the entire film is very funny.

I saw a short once wherein a woman was dancing in a bird cage and was all dressed in feathers-it was surreal and so disturbing.

When someone hears the term "buddy movie" generally ideas ranging from Bing and Bob to Bill and Ted immediately come to mind.
However, I have been doing some thinking recently about those dramatic films which exhibit a noble friendship such as that of David and Jonathan or Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
The four that readily spring to mind are:
Hell's Angels -1930
Dawn Patrol -1938
Gunga Din -1939
The Man Who Would Be King -1975
What others can you think of?
BTW- isn't it interesting how female friendships have been immortalized by such movies as The Women and Stage Door ?

I saw it once years ago - it's rather depressing as Hope movies go but not bad.

I've been searching the web for an answer to your question but have not yet found anything- except on fan sites for particular cartoons or the Little Rascals. Perhaps you could contact Warner Brothers on their website for this information. I'm sure there are others who would like to know.

Four very funny fantasy films are:
Bell, Book, and Candle
The Canterville Ghost
The Ghost Goes West
and
The Cockeyed Miracle
Brigadoon could also be classified as a musical fantasy.

I love seeing Davis in a strong performance but my favorite is "The Bride Came C.O.D." -where she proves she can also be funny.
What film used TECHNICOLOR to best effect?

I cast my vote for The Quiet Man. The color is stunning: emerald green grass, flaming red hair, etc. This movie just wouldn't be the same in B&W.
