    Every black family is required to have this dvd or video tape in their library, this movie keeps me grounded to reality, and reminds me of my mom passing, it still brings tears to my eyes, we used to watch it together. RIP Mom! Along with "Imitation Of Life". Are hard movies to watch!

      Yes, I can resonant with what you said regarding both movies. I loved Coole High, I am from Chicago, but Imitation of Life has to be my all time favorite dramas to Watch and when ever I share it with good close friends it gets them every time. Especially that funeral scene with Ms. Mahalia Jackson singing. That nails it for that movie 🎥🍿😊😅🎉🎉❤😢

    I was born in 1970 and didn't get familiar with this movie until the early 90's. It quickly became one of my faves. I had always prided myself being this tall easy going brother who was not gonna have anything make me cry. The first umpteen i watched this movie i always had to step out of the room when this scene came on. Not just the characters but the raw simple emotion of G C Cameron's version brings out emotions and just does something to me.

    I have no sisters only one brother and I lost him a few years ago. Now I'm the only one left and we did everything together. This song hits me really hard. As of right now I can hardly see to write this. Rest in Heaven Bub. Until I see you again. I Love You and Miss You So Much.

    Ooh Cochise Why You had to die!! You Had Your Whole Life Ahead Of You.
    Every time I watch this I wish the ending be different and Preach made it in time to help his friend. It breaks my heart every time.

      It also captured helplessness as Preach was yelling for help but nobody heard him because of the train.

      Hunni Remember at the time of the assault Cochise and Preach weren't talking to each other.Its only when Brenda told Preach that Cochise went off to look out for Preach because he heard Stone and Robert was looking for him, but if Preach had got there on time, it might've been TWO lives lost.It wasn't Preach's time to go.

    It’s even more sad that Preach & Cochise was on bad terms right before Cochise died and they didn’t get a chance to speak to each other one last time 💔
    I like watching Cooley High but I always turn it off when it gets to the ending , it’s so sad

    Wow. You knew that brother in real life? The things you get to witness on these sites. Honestly, that is amazing to see someone who actually knew the real Cochise. I was reading the post by dustyroads60 on this thread and he told the story that Cochise co-wrote Goodtimes. I'm 48 and grew up watching the real Goodtimes and got to learn about the Southside of Chicago. I'm from the Bronx NY. As you can see, we had similarities. This was one of the most touching scenes in movie history.

    • @kiela3602
      @kiela3602 6 лет назад

      FYI Goodtimes was NOT portraying the southside. It was Cabrini Green area which was on the north side, just a few blocks down the street from the coveted & expensive Old Town & Lincoln park neighborhoods in Chicago....
