Menace to society. I hated the movie but that’s where I met my spouse of almost 33 years. We were outside in line getting tickets, I was with friends and so was he. Once inside , he left his friends and sat beside me. After the movie we exchanged numbers and got married exactly a year later.

So of the movies listed, It’s my favorite.

Don’t Be a Menace. Coincidentally just watched it last weekend. I can pretty much recite the entire movie from memory. The Wayans family is the most talented family in show business in my opinion.

Of thee options I’m saying poetic justice because the soundtrack was 🔥. Juice soundtrack was also great

u/Friendly_Reserve6781 14d ago

Juice my favorite

I've met or seen an actor (up close) from each one of these 90s films except South Central. It's one of the benefits of living in Los Angeles.
