the original bromance

the "bromance" phenomenon is, of course, nothing new. This Wikipedia article mentions that Aristotle examined a similar concept as early as 300 BCE. What is new is the string of bromantic comedies that have come out of Hollywood in the past year - well guess what this isn't new either.

Anyone that's ever spent five minutes with me has heard me talk about the movie Becket. I love that movie - it's my all time fave. What i hardly mention is that the movie is actually one of the earliest bromance films...see for yourself...you'll have to fast forward to 3:38, but it's well worth it; it's an absolutely heart-wrenching scene.
