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. -
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
-
those white girls that rick foxx gave to ray allen>>>>>>
-
Above The Rim 2PAC SHAKUR's performance was just as good as Denzels imo..

This...plus that Soundtrack. -
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. -
No Poll?
Above the rim>>>>
-
of course u would say that,rofl
-
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 ? push HHG over the top for me...
-
the way above the rim comes on with that tupac instrumental i gotta give it to em
hgg is a good movie about a recruit and his daddy, abtr had a lot of different ? goin on

I thought I was the only one who thought that ? was tight.
Above the RIM for me, me and my bruh know that ? just about line for line. -

"i couldnt help but notice your pain"
"my pain?"
"it runs deep share it with me"

He Got Game
-
Above the Rim
-
Tupac>>>>Denzel
-
La La in HGG is goat!!
-
Tupac>>>>Denzel
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 ? . 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
