Harlem Nights (1989)

This film should be declared a national treasure. Three generations of Americas best black comedians (Foxx, Pryor, Murphy) along with a great supporting cast (excepting a poor performance by Arsenio Hall) including Charlie Murphy (RIP) hovering and underused. Panned by critics but loved by fans, this film is a classic.

really?! this was panned by critics?! that stuns me, I went in watching this having the lowest expectations in the world because for me Red Foxx alot of his stuff hasn’t aged well, Richard Pryor same thing but prefer him as a stand up comic then then the films he starred in and Eddie Murphy I’m just not a huge fan of his films or stand up, but this was an incredible film and ALMOST flawless. to hell with the critics who can praise Richard Pryor if he’s in a movie with Gene Wilder, or Eddy Murphy’s Beverly Hills Cops and his first two stand up shows, but not this film which was brilliant written and acted. 5 stars or 10 stars and two thumbs up for me this film
