My barber just said "Baby Boy" is the best black coming of age movie? Whats yours?

Cooley High....one friday night hanging wit ur homies can go from good to life changing just by making one bad decision...

This was my pick.
Cochise

Cochise...cant believe it ended like that

I haven't watched Baby Boy in a minute. I need a refresher.

 

[Pit Bull]

Not a fan of Baby Boy. Not sure if House Party is a coming of age movie as much as it is a teen movie. They didn't really come of age and learn lessons. They just partied. I'd probably say The Wood or The Inkwell. It ain't many now that I think about it.

Cooley High

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Inkwell

 

[Carolina Slim]

This was my pick.
Cochise

Cochise...cant believe it ended like that

I remember the first time I saw the movie.... When them three niiggas caught Cochise and gave him the beats underneath the train station, I knew they gave it to him good... But I wasn't expecting the next scene to be in the cemetery. It actually hit me hard like "hol up, Cochise died?"

 

[Ziggiy]

Its either the Wood or South Central or maybe even The Inkwell.


Baby Boy is fukking cartoonish and only saved by the Sex Scenes and Ving Rhames

 

[KING WILL]

Dead Presidents.

If that counts

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Dead Presidents.

If that counts

Yes, this does and I agree. Best movie mentioned IMO.

ATL is better
“Good mornin uncle George”
“Why y’all so ..happy?”
“That nicca hit me in the mouth with some money”

 

[thenatural]

Does House Party count?

 

[thenatural]

Crooklyn is a good one too but damn that movie is sad

 

[BXKingPin82]

I'm thinking Fresh 1994 film with Giancarlo Esposito.
