BFFs Movie Match Game Trivia Quiz

Answer: Chewbacca

The wookie Chewbacca wasn't just Han Solo's best friend; he was also his co-pilot and smuggling partner. The 7'3" actor Peter Mayhew portrayed Chewie in the first trilogy and in some of the sequels. Mayhew did not provide Chewie's non-English speaking voice; instead, sound engineers collected and re-mixed sounds from a variety of animals, including walruses, lions, camels, badgers, and a black bear named Tarik from the Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose, California. We should all be so lucky to have such a loyal BFF as Chewie.

Answer: Frodo Baggins

You really couldn't ask for a better friend than Samwise Gamgee; Frodo is one lucky Hobbit. In the book version, Sam is more of an aide-de-camp of Frodo's, but in the movie, even though Sam refers to Frodo as "Mister", they are portrayed more like peers. Sam followed Frodo throughout his adventures, protecting him from Orcs and a giant spider. And even when he briefly carried the Ring, he never succumbed to its evil temptation.

You can't talk about enduring friendships on screen without mentioning C.C. and Hillary from "Beaches" (1988), a definitive movie about lifelong friends. The childhood friends saw each other through career struggles, ailing parents, and divorces, and even recovered from a love triangle.

The soundtrack's smash hit, "Wind Beneath My Wings", sung by Bette Midler who played C.C., won a Grammy Award.

Answer: Felix Unger

In the end, they agreed they had both rubbed off on each other in a positive way. Jack Lemmon played Felix Unger and Walter Matthau played Oscar Madison in this 1968 film.

Answer: Cameron Frye

Alan Ruck's Cameron Frye, a hypochondriac, anxiety-riddled teenager with an overbearing father, really needed an upbeat, devil-may-care friend like Ferris Bueller. Along with Ferris's girlfriend, the teens run wild around Chicago, all because Ferris wanted to cheer Cameron up. By the end of the film, Cameron is ready to stand up to his father. Despite this heavy motif, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986) is considered a comedy and Matthew Broderick was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his portrayal of Ferris.
