Does Martin Lawrence have a classic film under his belt?

[The Unknown Hype]

Some of y’all just literally named every movie he was in saying it was a classic. The most classic shyt Martin has been in is his tv show which is damn near solidified In history now. Martin has some pretty good performances but if we’re talking about movies themselves life is the best all around and Martin was never a great actor if we being all the way real. But his performances definitely elevated a lot of the movies he has been in from being totally mediocre. He has a lot of cash grab movies that hurt his filmography.

Life
Bad Boys 1 and 3
House Party

Death at a Funeral was dope but not many people watched it.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

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.

Half Baked ain't a fukking classic nikka



Probably the top weed movie of all time, if not Cheech and Chong..

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Anybody saying Bad Boys 1 is not a fukking classic was NOT OUTSIDE at the time of 1 nor 2.. And that was Martin's movie... Literally.

Half Baked ain't a fukking classic nikka



Probably the top weed movie of all time, if not Cheech and Chong..

Friday???

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Friday???

Friday a hood flick.. The movies I named was all about getting high and being high.. Smokey trying to come up with $100 and 1.5 smoking sessions all movie, does not make a weed movie

[Brandsdale]

National Security is hella underrated. Martin had me rolling the entire movie

 

[Ziggiy]

Do The Right Thing, his screen acting debut is a classic movie


House Party is a classic


Bad Boys 1 & 2 are classics


Life is DEFINITELY a classic


Boomerang, Big Mama’s House, House Party 2, and Blue Streak are blassics

 

[Wargames]

A Thin Line Between Love & Hate is the only film that Martin has the lead role that ive watched on numerous occasions. I wouldnt call it classic...its a personal classic ( i guess that would be the best way to word it). His filmography is trash.

I came here to say this

 

[True Blue Moon]

Black Knight because the other characters kept calling him a moor

 

[Money Be Green]

Black Knight is hella underrated. Martin had me rolling the entire movie

Fixed that for you pleighboi

 

[2CT]

this thread is the perfect example of how watered down the term “classic” has become

i asked if the man had any classic films and people hopped in here offended like I asked if he had any good movies period

cats naming his whole damn filmography when half them shyts ain’t got the quotables or lines to make it a true classic like Friday or Don’t Be A Menace

all that being said though Martin definitely does have at least 2 classics, it’s a fact
