@Dog Based Gremlin Can you fix the name of the movie in the thread title?

They weren't good...but they were fun in that era, I'd imagine anyone in this thread is 26 plus, I'm 31, and this was so much a part of childhood....These are the kind of movies you saw with girls for some of the first times, or with your homies, walking the mall afterward trying to get numbers, looking at the chains you couldn't afford in the lil silver shop....The soundtracks and previews, how these movies captured parts of an era is what's memorable, as movies they are cliched, hackneyed, insulting at their worst, but they are pieces of an era. 'O' is a great movie though, that's easily the best of this loose category of films, though it's not exactly one of them. We need a list of all these movies.

Even back then I saw them as 'girl' movies. The only time I watched one all the way was if I was at my girl's house.

I'd agree with 'Save The Last Dance', I didn't see that in theaters, and have only really caught bits and pieces, but movies like 'Light It Up', and probably a dozen other movies in like 98-2003, are all part of what I was describing.

I feel like this movie paved the way for a bunch of knockoff's during the 00's like Honey, Step up, take the lead (which was alright) etc.

I fux with it though.

Bring It On

Movie was racist as fukk. Julia Stiles only black girlfriend is a single teenage mom complaining about her taking all the good ones. In what universe does a poor black single mom hang out with the new white girl dating the school's prize black guy?

No cell phones

No facebook or Twitter

Just classic hip hop and r&b music all in the movie

Baggy jean swag, Fredro Star was a goon

Julia Stiles

Black Dude was 28 playing a teenager


I miss my childhood

I saw Sean Patrick Thomas in a Walgreens once. Nikka was a complete dikkhead. Acting like he was Will Smith. I wasn't even trying to bother dude like that, just gave him a wassup and dude was on some dumb shyt. fukk that guy.

Dangerous Minds meets You Got Served




Na man Im betting this movie would be worse watching it was than when I watched it back then..


Here's a better High School movie with Fredro




There was like 500 movies made in the 90's with the white adult swooping in to save the young and under privileged inner city kids. You would've thought there was an epidemic of entitled white people invading lower income urban areas to teach them the right path

Obviously Freedom Writers was another good Hood High School movie

 

[the cool]

Why everyone in here talking about this movie was the last of baggy jeans era? This movie came out in 2001? Step up with Channing Tatum came out in 2006

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Julia Stiles

I remember this shyt. White girls in highschool started hitting on me hard after that movie came out. They were looking for a sanitized negro
