JJ Husker Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I watched the dang movie once about 40 years ago. I couldn't begin to tell you anything that transpired in it. But I am pretty sure the best song was Purple Rain because duh, title of movie song name. 1 Quote Link to comment

Cdog923 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Love Purple Rain. Love the soundtrack more. 38 minutes ago, commando said: was that the movie where eddie murphy was an african prince who came to america to find his bride? Purify yourself. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 So far I am gathering lots of people have seen it yet not many know or can remember what it's about. IIRC Apollonia was hot and the soundtrack was good....that's all I got. 1 Quote Link to comment

The best song in the movie is Darling Nikki saw it at the movie theater when it came out. It wasn’t too bad, typical 80’s stuff Morris and Jerome are the best thing in the movie. 2 Quote Link to comment

The moment where Morris is allowed to be human, just after the awful crack about "family," is one of the best parts of the whole movie. A person too sensitive about his place in the world wouldn't have let his rival, Morris Day, have that moment of self-reflection. He'd have painted Morris as The Bad Guy, and let him walk off stage after that awful comment. It is to Prince's credit that he left that moment in the film, letting his personal rival be, for a moment, just a person. Everyone focuses on Lake Minnetonka because of Appollonia, or on Purple Rain because it's the focal point of the movie. But it's that moment, and several more like it, that makes this such a great show. Just finished it again, for the first time in maybe 20 years. It's 80's through and through. But it's still a great movie. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't think I would go so far as to say it is a great movie, but at the time when it came out it was good. I don't think it wears well. It is too much of its time period. My kids would not get it if they watched it. Unlike other 80's movies such as Ferris Bueller or Back to the Future. Edited March 19, 2018 by NUinID Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 When I was 6 I either watched a Michael Jackson movie or a Prince movie at Disney World. I'm 20% sure it was Prince. There was some purple in the movie. So I voted yes. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Jungle rain is a good song. But "Purple Rain" is the best! Hence, the poll is invalid. Ƭ̵̬̊ is the man! Edited March 28, 2018 by NUance 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd have to agree. When the movie is mentioned, the song Purple Rain is what comes to mind first. Next would probably be When Doves Cry. Quote Link to comment
