What It Is: "the black American Graffiti" -Netflix.comWhy I Watched It: The movie was pointed to several times during my search for blaxploitation films.
What I Thought: Netflix's description was pretty apt. There's a lot to dig about Cooley High.
Like a typical high school movie, Cooley High is a snapshot of two friends over one hell of a weekend. Glynn Turman's character "Preach" was not only the main character, but his role really made the whole production stand out for me.
There's really not much I can say that "American Graffiti" doesn't cover. It's a good flick. It's dramatic, it rings true, and it's fun. Watch it!
Highlights: Preach being smooth with the ladies, Garrett Morris as "Mr. Mason", and the fake police badge.
Who Should See It: Blaxploitation fans and people that can always watch a good high school movie.
How Soon: It's definitely not going anywhere.
