Summary

Buddies is a 1985 drama, history and romance film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus. Only 9 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 9 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
