Movies that turn 30 this year - Larry Holmes Gardens brehs check in

[WesCrook]

Talk that shyt about Larry, but his hairline is still a lot better than some of y'all youngins and he is pushing 73.

Yes I remember all of those movies when they came out.

And built like one of Fred Sanford's friends

Would you be scared to get in the ring for a round or two with him though?

Yes

 

[Spence]

Yes

I would just jog around for 20 minutes

I remember when all those movies came out in theaters.

I remember recording that Batman Returns on a VHS tape back when it came on HBO some time later.

Robin Harris was underrated, I wonder what could have been had he not died so young.

He would have been Bernie Mac, but it looks like Bernie bit off Robin a little.

Technically still 30 years old until next month... possibly my favorite movie of all time

I never really got the appeal of this being a goat movie. He sliced a dudes face off to get away from the cops….ok

All the dialogue got me bored pretty quick, and that weird fk with the basket and dog just annoyed the fk out of me more than anything else

The character development, cinematography and acting is A1. Also the screenplay was smarter than the majority of big studio thrillers being released around that time.

It's also very demonstrably influential on a lot of movies/shows that came after it. True Detective season 1, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, etc.

I think it’s because I didn’t see this one until probably 4 or 5 years ago I didn’t get its full impact. It got spoofed and referenced so it’s culturally significant, but because I never watched it I didn’t get its appeal after seeing it recently. I’m guessing because a ton of better content has dropped between this release up to now.

My little brother would always be bumpin' "Blade's Theme" from Class Act soundtrack for some reason back then.
