Mo Better Blues is now 35 years old

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

The final 5 minutes of Malcolm X & MBB will always be tough watches for me…a big part of why don’t watch them

Ironically Spike & Denzel are the culprits behind both

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

That main actress was too damn sensual. Scared me.

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

You can never tell what’s in a man’s mind

and if he’s from Harlem, there’s no use of even tryin

Love that song

That scene where be begging because he can't play anymore... is tough

Cynda Williams floated on that, and looked amazing as well

I like how in this movie Wesley Snipes and Denzel Washington had their issues with one another but it never was to the point they were enemies and in general treated each other with respect.

 

[Plankton]

The inspiration for the Lost Boys video "Me And My Crazy World."

Another thing is before Sam Jackson became a huge star he was the king of small parts/cameo. He appears out of nowhere in Mo Better Blues. The only time we have seen him and Denzel on screen together, which is shame.

cameos/small parts in Raw by Eddie Murphy, Coming to America, Menace to Society, Juice, Goodfellas, and Jurassic Park. Those are some hits and legendary films

 

[Methodical]

Classic movie. This is def top 5 Spike Lee films imo

Exactly, if they made this movie today Wesley's character would be happy about Denzel getting beat up instead of standing up for him and stopping it. He would have been mean to him and gave him no grace when he tried to return. Just because they disagreed about Jazz. Very happy Spike didn't go that route.

 

[UnQuantized]

Underrated in Spike's filmography
