Possibly my favorite movie in general but I'd have to give that more thought.

The sequels weren't shit because (a) I hate sequels as a general rule and (b) like you guys already said, the lack of slapstick stuff was a big part of why the original was so great. It relied on a good narrative and quality acting rather than just punchline BS.

But yea - Friday is that flick man. I must've seen that shit no joke over 500x. I used to watch it multiple times per week in middle school and early high school. Never miss it when it's on TV.
