I bought this movie last year and I simply can't get enough of it still. "The Wrecka Stow" & the "Prince clowning on Mary Sharon on the car" scenes are just too much 4 my breath

Do you guys still get a kick of this movie?

To this day I have never seen it...

yea got it when it came out on VHS (DVD not invented)

Love it 2 this day

supafunky u should make the effort 2 get hold of it on ebay or something its the best imo

I never saw it too. I never saw to sell nor to rent.
I saw grafitte bridge and purple rain lots of times.

I use to could not watch UTCM (too cornball) but last year I gave it another spin and found myself laughing at all the silliness. Now I love it.

reminds me...i haven't watched utcm in a while as it is...gonna go and get my princely film cheez on tonight.

"You did it to Mary's mo-om, you did it to Mary's mo-om . . ."

Never seen UTCM nor Grafitti Bridge.

And when I saw PR long ago I thought it was

(I'm a real Prince fan. Have all his albums but I just can't cope with bad movies)

Had I the chance to watch them on TV, i'd give them another try though.

I haven't seen it either...
But I love the soundtrack, and the title song is so fantasticly suicidal and sad, it makes me cry rivers of tears every time I hear it.
Especially now, at this very moment

I watched PR many times, until I got UTCM about 3 years ago.Since than I have only watched PR once and that was because someone else put it in the VCR. I think this is Prince's best movie.

Yeah,why haven't you sat down and watched it? Did the bad reviews scare you?

Yeah, it's easily his best movie. It's really good in a goofy kind of way up until the melodramatic ending. Even that kinda works because the movie isn't to be taken seriously. The cinematography and the fact that it's black and white alone make it a pleasurable watch. Purple Rain, on the other hand, is good because of the music but the plot itself doesn't adequately build up to its conclusion. That's why Prince's behavior seems wierd and misplaced at times. For example, nothing in the movie would explain Prince's and Appolonia's deep feelings for eachother.
Anyway, Purple Rain was supposed to be more than it became but I can enjoy it for what it is-- an extended, sometimes comical music video. As for Graffiti Bridge, every couple of years I dust it off to see if there's something I'm missing and each time it's just that 1-plus hours I wasted watching it. One of these days I'm gonna learn.
