cooley high – p12(final part)
Exclusive video!
(1975)Michael Schultz (CAR WASH, GREASED LIGHTNING) directs this refreshing coming-of-age picture, focusing on the lives of two 1964 Chicago high school seniors as they prepare for adulthood. Cochise (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) is a basketball star and Preach (Glynn Turman) is his scholarly best friend. Together, with their pals Willie, Pooter, and Tyrone, the boys spend their days running around the city, pulling off an endless string of harmless scams. But when they agree to go for a joyride in a car that Stone (Sherman Smith) and Robert (Norman Gibson) have stolen, their previously carefree existence takes a turn for the dramatic. This also threatens Preach's relationship with the beautiful Brenda (Cynthia Davis), who he has finally begun to woo. By the time their actions have caught up with them (in the form of the police, as well as Stone and Robert), it might be too late to escape. Schultz's film, which owes an obvious debt to AMERICAN GRAFFITI (and which also inspired the television series WHAT'S HAPPENING?), boasts an unforgettable vintage Motown soundtrack. It also features a standout ensemble performance, including two sparkling performances by Turman and Hilton-Jacobs in the lead roles. Filmed on location in Chicago, Illinois.

wow, that part from 0:50-1:10 when preach’s screams are drowned out by the sounds of the El Train above — intended metaphor by the movie’s writers about the plight of the poor in this country?

Love the song at the funeral but the ending is so sad but I REMEMBER when I went
to the movie to see this during the same time my friend my was killed over
something foolish so I CAN RELATE and it was hard to say goodbye ,this movie
always reminds of that time
July 20th, 2010 - 16:32
I was 6 going on 7 when it debuted. Don’t know how old I was when i was allowed to watch it. I do remember it was a HUGE DEAL for my much older siblings. If stats were kept on class song choice for H S Seniors, “It’s so hard to say goodbye” would probably be in the top 5 most popular EVER. As a child I remember all kinds of kids singing that song for talent shows and special occasions through the late 70’s for real.
