Movies We Know Prince Has Seen

It's not that big of a deal of a thread but I was trying to think of some of the movies P has seen throughout the years:

Barbarella
The Firm
Eyes Wide Shut
The Minority Report
Love Jones
Jersey Girl (in part)


What else?

It's a Wonderful Life (he mentions "Zuzu's petals" in All the Midnights...)

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

The "Dance Electric" video (and a lot of Prince's 80's look) seems to have come straight from "Barry Lyndon".

The movie "Amadeus". In fact, Prince said Mozart is his inspiration from the clothes to the music.

His Favorite!

You can learn alot about Prince from watching this film, and his obsessive control over the groups he created and produced. This movie may have inspired the look for "Parade/Under The Cherry Moon. It's not a bad movie either.

I think the most obvious is the Richard Pryor classic "Which Way Is Up?" He has quoted lines from this movie in songs like "Daddy Pop" and "Return Of the Bump Squad", the line "Yall want an awful lot for $200 dollars" at the New Years Eve 1987 show was from this movie (although the movie says "You want an awful lot for $2 dollars!). Even one of Richard Pryor's characters was named "Mr. Goodnight". His inclusion of "The Theme From Which Way Is Up" in last year's W2A setlist shows his love for this movie.
