> [@muldoonthief](#): > > Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World That sounds like it’s borderline BDSM. 🙂 One of my favorites, and perhaps least appreciated: [_The Matador_.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matador) I’m also a huge fan of dark comedy, and this delivers quite well in that category. ---

Good one. I’ll always stop to watch _I Love You Man_ when it’s on. _Trading Places_ is on my list as well. Not sure if it qualifies but _The Full Monty_ is one of my all time favorites. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Lawrence of Arabia I dunno if that particular one qualifies as a bromance movie. I mean bromance movies are supposed to be men sharing a non-romantic relationship. ---
