Whence our fascination with Buddy Movies? Perhaps we enjoy the feeling of camaraderie, the assurance that we're not going through this life alone, through good times and bad. Perhaps we like seeing friendships tested and strengthened. Perhaps we enjoy the witty banter that can only come with tension, intimacy and familiarity. Whatever the reason, a good Buddy Movie will always cure what ails you, and in celebration of the DVD release of Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling, we offer you the best of the Buddy Movies. Put 'er there, pal!

Zoolander (2001)
Premiere Magazine named Zoolander one of the Top 50 Comedies of All Time, and we couldn't agree more. The movie has bountiful delights, and one of them is how quickly rival male models Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) are able to put aside their differences and become best friends. They might not be the smartest team as they try to thwart an assassination attempt on the Malaysian Prime Minister, but they're definitely the most good-looking.
Best Buddy Moment: The reconciliation moment, outside of Hansel's loft. Hansel asks, "How come you've been acting so messed up towards me?" Zoolander pauses, then answers, "How come you've been acting so messed up towards me?" After a moment of silence, Hansel responds, "You go first." And thus, a great friendship is born.
