Where Prince movies rank 4 me

From best 2 worst
1) Purple Rain (It's a classic! Come on, don't blame me)
2) Sign O' The Times
3) Under The Cherry Moon (still a pretty cool movie, though)

(Aaaaaand let's just say the other one NEVER HAPPENED!)

But how would YOU rank the only three movies that Prince has ever released into movie theaters? Do you think he'll release a movie ever again? Just outta no where in 2015;(in movie theater voice) "PRINCE IS BACK and ON THE BIG SCREEN! But this time, he has to convince Warner Bros. to do what they don't wanna do; to give up the "Prince" brand and trademark and let Prince completely have his masters! And the only way he can win is to do what Prince does best; He'll do it WITH MUSIC!"

01. Purple Rain [classic. enough said]

02. Under the Cherry Moon [decent movie, kind of corny, lame, whatever, would have been 100x better in color]

03. 3 Chains o' Gold [not really a movie, but it's cool to watch, nice videos, like it]

04. Graffiti Bridge [Diamonds and Pearls should have been called Let's Pretend I Didn't Just Release That Last 'Movie']

Maybe eye do, just not like eye did before pimp2

Prince's movie career would have been fine if it only consisted of Purple Rain and Sign O The Times.The other two films pretty much ruined it for him (although I like parts of UTCM).

"Graffiti Bridge"? What film are you talking about? That never happened! It was just the title of his lovely 1990 album, remember? lol

Released movies

*

1. Purple Rain - 6/10 Great music, but the acting and story are more hilarious than professional.

2. SOTT - 5½/10 Music is perfect, but its a fairly grainy concert movie.

3. UTCM - 5/10 Camp and not bad, okay the acting is wooden, but some geniunely funny and campy moments and you can't help but feel sorry for Prince's character as he is a self caressing twerp with a heart.

4. Graffiti Bridge - 1/10 This is not a movie, it is an abortion

*

Less known movies and moviettes

1. Livesexy - A superlative concert movie 8/10

2. Three Chains of Gold - Ridiculous storyline, but the songs really save it 6/10

3. Gett Off thing from 1991 - Cool dancing and songs, but again silly dialogue 5/10

4. Live documentart from 2003/04 the one with Chance Howard and all those people 3/10

5. ???? Black and white thing with Greg and Wally playing two bums at a social gathering c1986 with Madhouse music. The fact I barely remember it, is testament to how bad it is.

*

Other

1. Muppet show 1996/97 - Actually unintentionally funny and also very bad acting, barely recognised the new muppets (Was this show a kolossal floparoo) - 5/10

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I love movies in general far more than music, but I couldn't with the best will in the world rank or recommend any Prince movie to anyone.

Purple Rain is his best but UTCM is a guilty pleasure to me. Can't bear to watch Graffiti Bridge again. Sign 0' The Times is a concert movie so it does not count.

I've always wondered about that,too.My guess is...the previous year,Prince released the SOTT concert film and probably assumed that was enough for us? smile
