From the point of view of the story, I go with Aibileen and Minnie's relationship, when Aibileen was narrating their relationship, she says that Minnie helped her and supported her in the most difficult moment of her life that was when she lost her child... and throughout the movie you can see the strong relationship they have.
From the point of view that transcends beyond screen I will probably go with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.
...but since you are asking a "best friend" and not "favorite friendship", i will now be succint and say Aibileen Clark. ;)

What about Mike from "Deer Hunter"?
I remember that in the movie there is a moment when Nick tells Mike before they go to war, for Mike to not abandon him there, under any circumstances ... Mike promises and later on in the movie, he fulfills what he promised although the tragic ending and there are many moments that show the truly friendship that they have like the Russian rollet scene or the scene when they talk before they go to hunt.
and there's more I can mention like..
Earl and Greg from "Me, Earl and the dying Girl"
Bryan and Mike from "End of Watch"
Driss and Philippe from "The Intouchables"

You could use the lyrics of this Harry Nilsson song as your title - "People let me tell you 'bout my best friend."
Good idea. I changed the title of the list (:

And the TV series version is a really good idea, I will start working on it.

I suggest moving Freeman's entries farther apart. :)
You are right. I made the change (:
I like the idea but I'm not too hot about a few characters you listed, Jordan Belfort is rich , he's a party animal, but is that enough to make him a best friend, he's the kind of guy who wouldn't be best friend with anybody, who'd have friends and colleagues but he wouldn't trust anyone enough to make him his best friend except if he was also a business friend (and even then)... so I'm not sure about his inclusion, "Bluto" from "Animal House" would be a more suitable ambassador of the "party animal" category in my opinion.
Also I really miss some good characters like Rocky Balboa, can anyone be a better best friend, or George Bailey... for what it's worth, I made a poll about friends a while ago, you might find some interesting choices :https://www.imdb.com/poll/q2dNE_sz5dw/

Lol, and I just realized I had Jordan Belfort included in my own list... so much for lecturing the others !:)
There's no problem, sometimes we forget some things, or the opinion just changes (:

I really like this poll and I love the title but I'm thinking that " - The Movie Edition" might make it too long. Dan would know for sure if it would cause a problem so if you haven't changed the title since Dan commented on this (three weeks ago), it's probably ok.
If you've changed the title since then, however, I'd suggest shortening it a bit: Perhaps "People Let Me Tell You 'bout My Best Friend (Movies)" or, safer yet, just "People Let Me Tell You 'bout My Best Friend," then, if you do make a TV version you could add modifiers to the end at that point.
Oh and hi Batman. : )

'My Best Movie Friend' is a good idea. That I prefer that one says a lot because I love the idea of "People Let Me Tell You 'bout My Best Friend" as a title. I'd be sad to see that go (it sounds great, it's catchy, and, for me, it's nostalgic because I used to watch re-runs of that show a lot when I was little) but I think "My Best Movie Friend" does work better as a title.
(I remember seeing Jodie Foster on "Courtship of Eddie's Father," lol. She must have been about seven or eight years old. I think she played a little girl named Joey. : ) By the time I saw it, she must have already been "The Jodie Foster" but I probably wasn't aware of that. Yet, I still remember her vividly. I wonder if that's because she's that good.)

She has! Right along with Tatem.

Oh, yeah, she's definitely that good. I just wonder if, at the age of four or so, I would have been impacted that much by a performance to compel my brain to store it in its memory, lol. She's extraordinary, even at that young age, and she's my favorite. And yes, Tatem was also quite the actor as a child. 'Paper Moon' is a classic, largely due to her.
You are both right, I had to make the title change on both lists.
And Jodie Foster does have a big passion for acting, maybe that's also why she was able to give you such as impact at that young age.
