Crooklyn

"My favorite movie ever, one of the only movies that everybody in my family loves. Just a really good coming of age, black story. I love everything about it, the way it’s filmed how relatable it is. I am Troy"

""Crooklyn" holds an indelible place in my heart as my all-time favorite movie. The story follows young Troy, surrounded by a lively group of testosterone-fueled brothers naturally becoming a tomboy herself, as she navigates the challenges of being the only girl. (Spoiler Alert) With the tragic loss of her mother, her journey takes a poignant turn as she steps into the role of caregiver, losing some of her childhood innocence in the process. There's so much depth to unpack in this film, making it an absolute must-watch for everyone. Spike Lee's directorial finesse shines brightly as he captures the vibrant essence of NYC culture in the '70s, even touching on the heart-wrenching crack epidemic. "Crooklyn" is a captivating blend of charm, information, and heartfelt emotion – it's a cinematic treasure that deserves a special place on your watchlist."

"Love this movie! I re-watch it every year. "

"Haven't seen this in a while. Used to be on repeat at my grandma's 😌"

"Crooklyn has to make this list cmon"

"Soany people have never seen this is crazy this is a classic "

"There's a scene where Troy, the protagonist, goes to visit a relative and learns a song. It's really cheesy, but I sing that song for days after I watch this movie. "

"When I was 11, I was sent to my aunt's house for two weeks. When I came home they said my mom was dying of cancer. This movie got very close, but I still love it."

"#Crooklyn is probably spike lee best movie. Watching the movie will make you time travel & remember how its like to be a kid. One of favorites movie of all time and the soundtrack is just mind blowing."
