Forrest & Dan
Forrest, Bubba and Liutenant Dan, during and after Vietnam, are probably my favorite thing in a movie of the kind they don't make anymore.
When I read & later watched Stephen King's The Stand, I was heavily reminded of them. Tom Cullen and Stuart Redman go through a simillar experience, if only longer. Not to mention the fact that Stu is also played by no other than Gary Sinise, and Tom is a grown man as innocent as a child. From Wikipedia:
During his return to Boulder, he encounters Stu, who is suffering from a broken leg and pneumonia due to exposure. [...] Tom is able to nurse a delirious and dying Stu back to health while they are snowed in for much of the winter at a motel in central Utah. [...].
I love this Blue-Ray + DVD sets they sell as stores nowadays. Particularly when they are both half-price and on a 3x2 sale. Yay!
