Do you consider the move Hollywood Shuffle a classic?

- Start date
Never seen it.
Cult classic during the time. I don't think the youth would watch it today, and fall in love with it like our generation.
I would say the same about Wildcats

Absolutely and unlike a lot of classics the message and social commentary for us was just as strong as the comedy, one reason the mainstream overlooks it. A must see movie for Black people
I think the production itself is classic. Having to finance your own movie with your own money, maxing out credit cards to create your dream/vision is classic. The movie was definitely full of social commentary and will continue to be a must see in my family because those same stereotypes still exist.
Well said
One of my top 10 Black movies. Its genius. Black Acting School alone is still relevant, actually the entire movie is relevant today. 'Hoes gotta eat too'
yes, but 5 heartbeats >>>>>

Yep and the movie is still accurate
Me n my brother saw that shit and was like
Give that shit a

I knew Robert Townsend well. He took his last dime to make that movie. What you may or may not know is that a lot of Keenan Ivory Wayans stuff was co-written by or got its inception from Robert Townsend. Townsend had to take Wayans to court trying to be paid and get credit- rights on it but a judge ruled against him. If Living Color fans take note many on that show were held stagnant as Wayans was about family and on some Barry Gordy shyt. Even 4 people today has blossomed so much that they are worth more than Keenan ( Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carray and Rosie Perez )
Me n my brother saw that shit and was like
hell yeah, it is,
Give that shit a
I don't even think it hit cult classic status.
But it and 5 heartbeats are Townsends best gifts to the world.

That's my shit. Just do the jheri curl. Curl! Curl! Curl!Lol I was just thinking about the Gerry curl scene earlier today at work.
Movie is an absolute classic in my opinion. Ho cakes! Ho's gotta eat too!
Yes. Attack of the Street Pimps was funny as fuck.
Damn word? I always thought that brother was a genius, Townsend that is. Films were way before there time.
This movie was the chaplle show, before the chapelle show. Excellent intelligent , socially probing comedy with a good story behind it.
Self made, Black talent on camera, in production, music production, marketing.
Townsend tried to give Black cinema the model, the only one that listened, just happens to like to dress up in a dress and wig (Perry).
Great movie imo

"u think some studio gonna let u lock up the place"
This
I think without an old head putting them on the young Turks will miss this, there was a lot of the bs blacks went through in Hollywood, it was a lot of scenes that were really funny
Of course.....
Damn I miss this
When I first seen that shit I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Hilarious
Keenan was a fool playing that part. When his curl was drying up and how he was acting.
One of my top 3 films of all time.
