Tough choice but I remember vividly the first time I saw both movies.

I saw Coming to America in the theater opening weekend in Greenwood mall.

I saw Harlem Nights on VHS at a girl's house on a date. We made out a little.

I'm going with Harlem Nights.

Both incredibly good and funny but Harlem Nights for me also

Della Reese is absolutely a riot in that movie.

"Stop jacking off and shoot the dice, you F'n up the game" had me rolling the first 20 times I watched Harlem Nights.

"I can't stand kids, they make me nervous, I hate dem little bastards." Come on man shoot the dice. Aight, I will, but I better not crap, come on 6 with your jankity ***."

" I would have paid you if you had won, but you lost, so pay the man his money,,,,, You snaggle tooth MF'er."

Coming To America is my all time favorite movie. All star cast that included Arsenio Hall, Ralph Bellomy, James Earl Jones and others.

Enjoy this clip:

I'm a bit concerned about Harlem Nights as it had abysmal ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. I like plenty of movies that are gernally panned but a 19 on RT is pretty oof.

I’ve never even heard of Harlem nights. Coming to America is one of my favorites though, great movie that’s stood the test of time.

CTA is good but HARLEM is great.

Really not much of point in concern.

I’m white yeah dats right dats right

But ME n the homeboys agree that Harlem is.. BY FAR.... the better joint.

Harlem is true RAW

Not for the timid, teachers or married folk.
