ON MOVIES ~ Because Everyone Needs A Sidekick...

Feature Presentation...

MONDAY MOVIE MEME

Molly looked around for a weekly meme about movies and did not have any luck. So therefore she decided to start her own! Andy will play along as well - hopefully you will too. Go to your blog and create your own post on the topic, linking back to us in your post, then come back and leave a link to your post here in our Comments section. If you don’t have a blog, just share your response in the Comments section.

This week's movie topic is all about Sidekicks...

We enjoy coming up with topics each week for the Monday Movie Meme. They are usually inspired by recent events or whatever cropped up in our life over the weekend. And we get first dibs on the movie responses. So that's a nice bonus for our efforts. But there are times when we wish we had a sidekick to defer to every now and then. Someone to pick up the slack, show off their talent, and let us know what it feels like to ride along instead of doing all the heavy lifting.

So here is your big chance. Anyone who volunteers via e-mail (see our About page) or in their comment gets to guest host the Monday Movie Meme here on our blog. You come up with any topic you want. List any answers you want, any way you want. And we'll use it here as the feature presentation one Monday Movie Meme week of your choosing. In the meantime, here are some great sidekicks from the movies that we came up with. Share on your blog those buddy films that came to your mind, linking back here at The Bumbles. And don't forget to visit your fellow participants!

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid (1969) - *sigh* Buddy perfection with Newman & Redford each thinking of the other as their sidekick

Midnight Run (1988) - Charles Grodin turns himself into an unwanted sidekick in one of DeNiro's funniest roles

Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade (1989) - Father/Son hijinks with Sean Connery as an hysterical sidekick for Harrison Ford

Lethal Weapon (1987) - One of many buddy cop flicks - but retiring veteran Glover turning into crazy Gibson's sidekick is great comedy

Every Which Way But Loose (1978) - Eastwood in a fun romp of a role with his Orangutan sidekick Clyde along for the ride

Smokey & The Bandit (1977) - Burt Reynolds had Sally Field, Jerry Reed had Fred the dog, and Jackie Gleason had his dummy son Junior. Sidekicks galore!
