10 on-screen gangs we wish we were part of. Get in, loser. We're going shopping

More than clique bait

1 Crew (2024).

Who knew that smuggling gold could make besties out of three flight attendants? Geeta, Jasmine and Divya bond over financial issues, domestic ennui and the death of a colleague, all while keeping their eyes on the prize. That meme about your workplace blowing up if you work with your BFF? This movie is like that, except they get away with it. Who wouldn't want to be part of this gang?

2 The Bold Type (2017-2021).

Work friends who are real friends - we all have one. Millennials Jane, Kat and Sutton support and inspire each other at the magazine they work for. Of course, there are misadventures: Finding love, staying on track, dealing with parents, and the interminable task of adulting. So much to learn. May their tribe grow.

3 Dil Chahta Hai (2001).

The OG Goa plan that made it past the WhatsApp group chat. Akash, Sameer and Siddharth keep each other going, even when the going gets tough. Love goes wrong, there's a robbery, a fight, but like Goa's tide, nothing's permanent. Healthy male friendships are rare in Bollywood. But these guys have each other for all the problems that lie ahead.

4 New Girl (2011-2018).
