10 Greatest Bromances In The History Of Cinema

Live long and prosper. And always call your bro out on his crap.

Spock may be half-Vulcan, and thus half incapable of understanding all the complex emotions that go into a substantial bromance, but his half-human side will always be inextricably linked to one James Tiberius Kirk. And really, his stubbornly logical ways are what make him such a great friend to Kirk, who is by far the most passionate and reckless man on the ship.

Kirk needs someone like Spock to have his back. And Spock desperately needs to learn how to fake his way through social interactions. It's a win-win.

Sure, they have plenty of disagreements -- which occasionally escalate into fisticuffs -- but they never let the vexation that occurs in the heat of the moment unglue their bond.

They remain one of science-fiction's ultimate odd couples, and their bromance got a second life with the arrival of J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek movie, which recast the duo with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. They've carried Kirk and Spock's bromantic torch considerably well, even behind the scenes, giving us hope that some friendships are so strong they can cross entire universes and endure watered-down reboots.
