When we watch our favorite TV shows, we often get really attached to the characters and their stories. We cheer for them, laugh with them, and sometimes even cry with them. One of the best parts of these shows is the friendships that develop on screen. On Friendship Day, we celebrate some of the best TV friendships that capture the essence of this special relationship.

Let’s take a look at ten unforgettable TV best buddies who have captured our hearts and taught us about friendship.

1. Chandler & Joey

Chandler and Joey’s friendship is iconic and often steals the show in Friends. Living together, they create endless funny moments. Joey’s goofy nature balances Chandler’s sarcasm perfectly. From playing endless games to their iconic foosball table and caring for their beloved chick and duck, they were one of the best friendship duos. One standout moment is when Chandler buys Joey a Best Buds bracelet. Though Joey initially mocks it but cherishes it later.

Now, we all know Greta Gerwig as one of the most celebrated filmmakers. But before trying her hands in directing, she was quite a popular actress and writer. She has often talked about how her career in front of the camera made her learn what to do behind it. 

In an interview with Los Angeles Times in 2017, Greta said, “I think I’ve always wanted to direct, but I didn’t go to film school. I was lucky enough to work in movies, and I think those became my film school in terms of acting and watching directors work and also writing and cowriting and producing.”

While we talk about her best works to date apart from the widely appreciated Barbie, let’s celebrate Greta on her birthday. So, without further ado, take a look at 8 of her best projects which she directed, co-wrote, and acted in.

Hollywood has an uncanny ability to make the true meaning of friendship, films that make one feel good. The real camaraderie onscreen can evoke laughter, tears and a whole lot of feelings. Over the years filmmakers have depicted the strength and beauty of these ties in stories that will never be forgotten because they demonstrate how real connections are made. Let’s look at some of the most heartwarming and memorable movies about friendship which celebrate the timeless bonds between people.

The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club (1985) directed by John Hughes is about five high school students from different social groups spending a Saturday in detention. Through their initially confrontational encounters, however, they form actual friendships when they see that they all share similar fears and pains. Indeed, this classic coming-of-age film shows that friendships can form even under unlikely circumstances which prove empathy and understanding are powerful tools for making friends out of strangers.
