Summary: A Must Own
Comment: This movie contains one of the most moving endings of all time. It is a must-own for anyone who grew up in the 60s or 70s because it captures what life was like in the inner cities back then. A classic!

Summary: It IS hard to say goodbye to yesterday...
Comment: This movie came out my freshman year in college, was made my senior year of high school...so I've always felt a strong attachment to it. Even though I went to high school in Omaha, there are many universal events in the movie, too many to describe here, but Cooley High is one of my all-time favorites, along with Car-Wash, The Sting, Godfather I & II, Five Fingers of Death...I lost two close friends as I graduated from hs and could really relate to Cochise. I think of them everyday, even if only for a moment. This reminds me of a time and place I can't go back to, but it's nice to reflect from time to time...

Summary: One of the best blackexploation films ever made
Comment: Cooley High is a film with heart, humor and tears. This is one of the films that inspired to become a filmaker. The emotions between the two main charcters Preach and GoCheese remins me of all my best friends. Glynn Turman and Laurence Hilton Jacobs are amazing in their roles and this film is highly reccomnded. The soundtrack is one of the best in a cinema history.

Summary: Boys Will Be Boys
Comment: A classic buddy movie. Neighborhood friends hang together doing things that adolescent males did in the day - drink a little wine, try to get with girls, cut class, goof around, go to house parties, fist-fights. With all the high-jinks during the movie, it ends with tragedy, which spawned the everlasting hit song "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" which was reprised by Boyz II Men.
