In the movie 'When Harry Met Sally', Harry and Sally have a complex male - female friendship. They start as acquaintances who don't really get along, but over time, they become very close friends. Their relationship shows the ups and downs that can happen in a male - female friendship. Also, in the book 'The Hunger Games', Katniss and Gale have a strong friendship. Gale is like a brother figure to Katniss in the beginning, but as the story progresses, their relationship has elements of a deep male - female friendship. He is always there for her and they share many common goals.
One of the best is Frodo and Sam in 'The Lord of the Rings'. Technically, they are both male, but their friendship has elements that can be applied to male - female friendships too. They are extremely loyal to each other. In a more traditional male - female friendship sense, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger from the 'Harry Potter' series are great. Hermione is smart and often helps Harry out of tough situations with her knowledge. Another example is Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy in 'Pride and Prejudice'. Their relationship starts as a sort of animosity but develops into a deep understanding and friendship which could be considered a great male - female friendship in a historical - fiction context.
Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Although there is a sense of rivalry between them at times, they also share a certain level of respect and understanding that can be seen as a form of friendship. And in the 'Twilight' series, Bella and Jacob have a friendship. Jacob is always there for Bella, protecting her and being a good friend, even though there are romantic undertones to their relationship at times. Their friendship is important in the story as it shows a different side of Bella's relationships other than the one with Edward.
