Beaches

Some films gamble that we’ll buy lifelong loyalty over a single summer at camp. Two girls meet young, drift in and out of each other’s worlds—one all glitter, the other scraping by—and somehow that’s enough to fuel decades of drama. It’s less about friendship enduring and more about who gets stuck holding the emotional bill.
