@Jcredible asked what were my top 10 Favorite Movies …. since I have a favorite everything; here we go…
***NOTE: I am a HUGE James Bond movie fan, since I couldn’t pick them all I excluded them***
1. Krush Groove
“There ís been a whole lot of superstars on this stage here tonight, and I just want you to know one thing … this is MY MUTHAFUKN HOUSE”
Guess because Iím a ëhip hop headí I dunno but I LOVE this movie; I have to know 90% of it by heart
Stars: Run-DMC, The Fat Boys, Shelia E, LL cool J
If you look close enough youíll see Chris Rock
Favorite Part: Pissed off Run saying ìthis is my muthafukn houseî and starting ëItís like thatí
Least favorite: Blair Underwood period esp he and Sheila.
2. Brown Sugar
“Dre I need you to be happy for me. I need you to be there for me, just like you asked of me. So I can have tea and eat cucumber sandwiches with the crust cut off!”
Basically the movie of my life (sans the Girl) It is a Hip Hop Story Old school Hip Hop Love story; I can it get enough of this movie … it s what my life is like/should be like I went to see this in the movies twice
Stars: Sanaa (mmmm), Nicole Ari Parker, Mos Def but what is better!? Kool G Rap, De La, Slick Rick, Dana Dane Doug Fresh (sigh) … even had the Hip Hop Dalmatians!
Favorite part: The Old school cipher with the Get Fresh Crew, and the park bench scene where they just talk about Hip hop and trade verses
(Plus Taye Diggs had a KICK ASS name)
Worst Part: Dunno … maybe the shooting pool scene with Andre and Reese
3. Boomerang
“Gold star for Marcus”
THE movie … after I saw this movie I had every plan on living my life to mimic this movie … and still some to this day; I love the black professional successful dude, the bad ass chicks, the slammin place
Living in a big city…the whole shabang … and Robin Givens!!!
ROBIN Muhfkn Givens!
Best Part: You already knowÖJackie shows up in the coat and Öyup! Other than that, when she wanted to watch the game (sports! so sexy) NO the Kissable commercial with the banana and cherries
Worst part: Gerald and Angela…wackness and when Marcus got flipped on…my man shouldn’t have had to go out like that got Halle though!
4. Godfather II
“Roth and the Rosatos are on the run…You’ve won. You want to wipe everybody out?” Michael answers, “I donít feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies, thatís all.”
THE CLASSIC if it didn’t exist Godfather I would be here in this spot! Michael in present day and the Flashback of Vito in the same movie
The writing, the action and the story! no other movie I’ve ever seen has done it better.
Stars: Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, and Robert De Niro
Favorite Part: So many! Mike calling the shots though
And when he found out that Fredo was the Traitor
Least Favorite Part: The End and Vito not being around
5. Godfather I
“Hey, listen, I want somebody good and I mean very good to plant that gun. I don’t want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hands, alright? ”
THE movie that started it all THE CLASSIC, anytime I’m feelin’ whatever or bored or have some time I love to watch the original.
Stars: Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, and Robert De Niro
Best part: Damn The Restaurant scene Moe Green and the Hospital spot where he had to move Vito.
Worst Part: Sonny’s Death or Chasing after Kay, she was wack .. the only drawback to the movie..Loved when she was down the hall and they closed the door.
6. Coming to America
“They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.”
Probably on the favorite list of everyone I know (and probably higher up) Outside of RAW probably the funniest Eddie Murphy Film I have the Soul Glo song as a ring tone
Stars: Eddie Murphy, Aresenio Hall, John Amos, Louie Anderson on Lettuce, and if you pay attention youíll see Samuel Jackson, Jamie Fox, and Cuba Gooding Jrs first scene in a movie
Favorite Part: Anything at the Barbershop … oh and the washing!
Worst part: Anything with Lisa. She was wack
“I have recently been placed in charge of garbage When you think of garbage, think of Akeem!”
…oh and
Is there a man on the planet that did NOT want HER!?!?!?!?!?
7. House Party
“Girl, you’re so soft, like my hush-puppies. You’re so warm and fluffy, like a butter-milk biscuit. You make me want to squeeze tighter and tighter. Nah, I’m not gonna lie. You make a nigga wanna sing”
Stars: Kid and Play, Robin Harris, Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, Full Force, and A J Johnson
“Clinton X, huh? Well go home and bring me 2 bean pies and a pork chop sandwich, you little trout mouthed heathen. ”
8. New Jack City
“Money talks and bullshit runs a marathon. So, see ya and I wouldn’t want to be ya.”
My favorite movie soundtrack ever… it cranks to this day! I loved this movie because it was like an urban mob flick but all black people …they still dropped the ball by not doing a part 2
We never saw a dead Nino (He coulda went to jail and got out … or the G money chick he smashed coulda had a child …)
Favorite Part: Besides the girls baggin crack topless…The way Nino hit the club when they were playing The Show”
Worst part: The Pookie / Ice Tea chase … that was awful and the fact it took them THAT long to realize he was a cop
Stars: Wesley Snipes, Ice T, Allen Payne, Chris Rock, and Judd Nelson
“I tried to kick… but that shit just be callin’ me man, it be callin’ me, man… I just got to go to it!”
9. Love Jones
” I just want to give you injections… of sublime erections… and get you to dance to my rhythm… make you dream archetypes… of black angels in flight… upon wings of distorted, contorted… metaphoric jizm”
How can anyone NOT like this movie? It’s like our modern day Mahogany or Lady Sings the Blues … the Black Love Story … plus it’s NIA F’N LONG! … lawd
… This movie made every black man and woman try and act grown and cultured for a good month
Stars: Larenz Tate, Nia Long, Lisa Nicole Carson Bill Bellamy, and Isaiah Washington
Favorite Part: The Sex frustration upstairs/downstairs scene… and the record store scene
Worse Part: All things Hollywood, he was THE hater … annoying
“I gather up each sound you left behind and stretch them on our bed. Each night I breathe you and become high”
10. Half Baked
“I’m going to kill your little Mexican friend I’m Cuban, B! Ahhh, yes! Cuban Bee! ”
Hilarious movie … loved it (Odd for a person who’s never smoked weed once ever ) Between the Guy on the couch, Squirrel master and The dog … I cant think of too many things unfunny in this movie
Stars: Dave Chappelle, Guillermo Diaz, Rachel True, Jim Breuer, Harland Williams, and Clarence Williams
Favorite Part: Anything Sir Smoke-A-Lot and Anything Scarface … Kenny and Nasty Nasty Nate
Worst Part: Thurgood not noticing he was going to Mary Jane’s apartment
“You said you gave Mary Jane a pearl necklace! …Obviously you missed the whole point of that story, Brian.”
