Well, hey there. You wanna know about movies like that New Edition Story, huh? Alright, I’ll tell ya what I know. I ain’t no fancy movie expert or nothin’, but I watched a whole lotta TV in my day, so I reckon I can help you out.
That New Edition Story, that was somethin’ else, right? All them boys singin’ and dancin’. Reminded me of them good ol’ days when music was real music, not like that noise the young folks listen to now. So, you want movies kinda like that, huh? Movies about music, about growin’ up, about folks workin’ hard to make somethin’ of themselves.
Movies ’bout Music and Dreams
First off, you gotta think ’bout movies about music groups. You know, like them Temptations? They had a movie, The Temptations. That was a good one. Showed how them boys got together, all the troubles they had, the good times and the bad. It’s kinda like that New Edition Story, see? Folks startin’ from nothin’, workin’ their way up, singin’ their hearts out.
- The Temptations: Like I said, good movie ’bout a real famous group. Lots of singin’ and drama.
- Straight Outta Compton: Now, this one’s a bit different, more rough around the edges, but it’s still ’bout a music group, N.W.A. They had a hard life, singin’ ’bout what they knew. It’s real, you know?
- Dreamgirls: This one’s got the music and the dreams, just like that New Edition Story. Girls singin’ their hearts out, tryin’ to make it big. Lots of sparkly dresses and big hair, too.
Movies ’bout Growin’ Up and Workin’ Hard
Then you got movies ’bout growin’ up, you know? Kids tryin’ to figure things out, workin’ hard to get somewhere in life. That New Edition Story, them boys were just kids when they started. Had to learn the ropes, deal with all sorts of problems. So, movies like that, they’re kinda similar.
Movies with Heart and Soul
Let’s see, what else… You want movies with heart, you know? Movies that make you feel somethin’. New Edition Story, that made you feel for them boys, right? You wanted them to succeed. So, you need movies with that same kinda heart.
- Boyz n the Hood: This one’s a tough one, but it’s got heart. Shows what it’s like growin’ up in a rough neighborhood, tryin’ to make somethin’ of yourself. It ain’t always pretty, but it’s real.
- Remember the Titans: Now, this one’s a feel-good movie, but it ain’t fluffy. It’s ’bout a football team, black and white kids comin’ together, learnin’ to work as a team. It’s got that same spirit, you know? Folks comin’ together, workin’ hard, makin’ somethin’ good.
Don’t Forget the Fun!
And hey, don’t forget the fun! New Edition Story, it had its fun moments, right? Them boys dancin’, singin’, havin’ a good time. So, you need movies with a bit of fun in ’em too.
