Favorite Bernie Mac movie? - Blu-ray Forum

wnicholas76 · 08-09-2008, 07:39 PM

Bernie Mac was comedy genius at its finest. Next to Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac was one of the best comedians in years, and his sudden death came as a shock to me and everyone else in the world. And I'd just like to ask what your favorite Bernie Mac movies are (besides the TV show, "The Bernie Mac Show"). [It's hard to pick just one!]

My favorites are:

Ocean's Eleven
Ocean's Twelve (even though it sucked)
Ocean's Thirteen
Mr. 3000
Bad Santa
Guess Who
Head of State
Friday
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (even though it sucked)
The Original Kings of Comedy
Pride
Transformers (even though it was a small cameo appearance)

Although Soul Men, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and Old Dogs haven't been released yet, I still can't wait for these final performances from one of the most celebrated comedians in the world today!

R.I.P. Bernie Mac (1957-2008)

I can't really decide on a vote since he always spices up any movie he's in, and is so gifted in his craft. And I hate to site Transformers, but his cameo in that one was priceless (I just watched this one so it's fresh in my mind and why I brought it up).

I was not a Bernie Mac fan at all but obviously Transformers was my favorite movie that he was in. I liked that movie with Mac where Ashton Kutcher dated his daughter but I can't remember which movie that was...Guess who???

ShelbyGT500 · 08-09-2008, 08:15 PM

I liked the Ocean's series the best for him. He had so many other roles he did and they were all funny. Even his TV show was very good. Gonna be missed!

I first saw him in the movie Life with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawerence.

His two lines were best

Jingaling!

and

I'm the pappy!!!

Yeah, it was Guess Who. The movie was the remake of the 1967 Spencer Tracy/Sidney Poitier/Katharine Hepburn movie, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", in which Spencer Tracy played the dad and Sidney Poitier was the man dating Tracy's daughter in the film.

Bad Santa

the oceans but gotta love the bernie mac show

seanjohn21276 · 08-09-2008, 10:09 PM

My favorite three with him would have to be Guess Who, Players Club and Life.

bigpapy · 08-09-2008, 11:13 PM

Guess Who?

Variable · 08-09-2008, 11:14 PM

I normally don't do this but man, Mr. 3000 was terrible.

do love Bernie Mac though.

Mrcheerful · 08-09-2008, 11:27 PM

Mines are Friday and Guess Who.

Grim Reaper · 08-09-2008, 11:32 PM

Ocean's 11/12/13
Transformers

D_LO · 08-09-2008, 11:43 PM

Too many to choose one. I think what he did in Above the Rim kind of stands out from all of his other films in my opinion.

I agree that he spiced up every movie he was in, weather a small or leading role. He was the true King of Comedy and was the only reason I watched that movie. His small role in Transformers was priceless. Im still in total shock he will be missed that is for sure.

Too many good people have gone this year

RIP Bernie Mac.

seigneur_rayden · 08-10-2008, 01:24 AM

Men, this is really sad. Bernie Mac dead!!! He has always been one of my favorites. No more movie with Mac. So young too...

ScarredLungs · 08-10-2008, 01:27 AM

I really enjoyed Ocean's 11

Petra_Kalbrain · 08-10-2008, 02:07 AM

I've never liked Bernie Mac as a performer. But, that doesn't mean that I don't respect him . I wish his family all of the best in this trying time.

As for his movies, the only ones on the list that I can say I enjoyed are:

#1. Guess Who (easily his best in my opinion)
#2. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (but this is mostly because of everything BUT him)

I enjoyed 'Transformers' as well, but I don't really consider that a Bernie Mac movie as his presence was so small.
