10 Greatest Bromances In The History Of Cinema

10. Goose & Maverick - Top Gun

"You can be my wingman anytime." That's the kind of bro-tastic sentiment real friends offer each other right before they go in for a chest bump that turns into a slow, meaningful embrace. It's also the line that cemented Goose and Maverick as one of the most dominant bromances of the 80s.

Yeah, plenty of Internet chatter (and so very much fan fiction) has revolved around the homoerotically competitive relationship of Maverick and Iceman, but there's no denying that the strongest bond in the film is that of Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards.

Is it their mutual need for speed? Sure. Is it the way Goose intuitively sets up Maverick for all those sweet spikes on the volleyball court? Partially. Is it their tone-deaf duet of The Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" to help seal the deal with a woman at the bar? You bet'cha.

They were BFFs through thick and thin, and even in danger zones. The fact that Goose ultimately sacrifices his own life to save that of his friend only cements how heart-wrenchingly sturdy their bromance was.
