Above the Rim or He Got Game?

D.D.S.

Which one you got? Me and one of my homies were discussing which film was better. I said ATR, he said HGG. What about you?

HGG is one of Denzels most important roles. Most complex. It birthed his complexity on that 'is he a villian or a hero?' type roles he's done since then

Training Day, Flight, American Gangster-nomnated for all of those. Also John Q...

HGG is a classic

Above The Rim.

I would've said HGG up until about a month ago, when I rewatched it for the first time since it came out. Have yall seen that movie recently? It does not age well.

Young Gunner

Outside of Denzel's acting, I didn't care for HGG. I understood Ray's motivations for what he did though. Ray's acting I couldn't get over. Jeez was it bad

I say ATR though Denzel was the truth behind HHG

above the rim for me

Top Cat

Above The Rim 2PAC SHAKUR's performance was just as good as Denzels imo..

HGG -better movie

ATR -better soundtrack


and I never thought Jake was a villain in HGG. Dude jus lost his temper once and it cost him his family. Everybody makes mistakes.

Above the Rim..its full of unintentional comedy with Leon playing invisible basketball and breaking people off with finger rolls and line drive jumpers, Wood Harris as an enforcer..Pac as Birdie, Eric from the Real World as a top recruit..if its on TV I watch until the end, HGG comes on I might watch for 5 mins and change the channel.

Rosario Dawson's titties push HHG over the top for me...

Really?
Denzel was robbed of Oscar nod for He Got Game. It's much deeper movie talking sport politics, problem of blacks lured by money and greed in capitalist world and son-father relationship in one movie, while ATR was below average drama centered around win or loose basketball theme. There is no competition here and honestly Pac's cartoonish role was his worst in career.

Its hard ot compare the 2

Above the Rim has comedy and lines i still use to this day.

"Boontz! Winner gets mad, crazy...boontz!"
"A one on bum. Yo this goin down in history"
"Mama rockin back n forth talkin bout Ol Shep, Ol Shep...yo i cant believe my brother this fukin WEAK!"

one question that may never be answered is how/why did they have a bball court on the edge of a rooftop.

ATR any day. As good as HGG is, i liked ATR more. Also i have a soft spot for White men cant jump
