What classic does Chris Rock have? Or Chappelle?

New Jack City is a classic but Rock was a minor character. And don’t come in here telling me Half Baked is a classic. :comeon:

Do The Right Thing, House Party 1, Boomerang, Bad Boys 1 and 2, Life, and You so Crazy are all Classics. "Talking dirty after dark" and "Thin Line" could both argued as well. And Yes compared to Rock and Chapelle and even Kevin....Martin has a better more entertaining movie catalog. Martin also writes and directs too.

Definitely Life...but he doesn’t get much love for that because he got to be the Straight-Man.
Talkin’ Dirty After Dark absolutely should be considered classic, but that was hella underground.
If we count comedy specials, You So Crazy if definitely a classic.


So I can call it 2 and a possible for Martin as a lead.
The rest of that is just aight.


The Bad Boys films are not classics.
Nothing To Lose was okay, but it got murdered on it’s own concept when Money Talks came out.
Thin Line? No.
Black Knight? Hell naw.
Big Momma’s House was good, but not a classic.
Blue Streak was great, but that’s a movie I find a lot of people never saw when I bring it up...


...but I we are counting comedy specials, then no - he doesn’t have more classics as a lead than Chris Rock.
