Summary: A GREAT BLACK OLD-SCHOOL CLASSIC MOVIE!
Comment: On a rainy day, I love to watch Cooley High and listen to the music of my generation. Times were hard, but they were simple. I get excited while trying to remember, what was I doing when that song came was out. Now, I can share Cooley High with my grand children and next generations! This is one of my best purchases!

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 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.

Editorial Reviews:

Often called 'the black American Graffiti'but with "far more vitality and more variety" (The New York Times), Cooley High takes a nostalgic, poignantand hilariously funny look at black teen life in 1960's Chicago. It's 1964. JFK has just been assassinated. Martha & The Vandellas, Little Stevie Wonder and The Four Tops rule the airwaves. And two high school students discover themselvesand the taste of freedomfor the first time. Preach (Glynn Turman), aserious-minded writer, and his best friend Cochise (Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs), a basketball hero headed for college, are best friends at Cooley High. Together they cut classes to go to the zoo, crash parties, put the hustle on some hustlers and dream about getting out of their impoverished, rough neighborhood. But when an innocent joy ride makes them the targets of two vengeful hoods, their alreadyuncertain futures seem even further out of reach. Featuring a "well-handled mix of comedy and dramawith a soundtrack of Motown gold" (Blockbuster Entertainment Guide) and a "universal appeal"(Los Angeles Times), Cooley High is "the best American comedy so far this year" (Village Voice)!
