I saw this movie when it first came out and sat through it twice. I loved the musical numbers even though I wish they were longer. Diane Lane was 19 in this movie! Richard Gere looked good here. They had good chemistry and made other films together . I LOVE ME SOME GREGORY HINES!! Rest In Peace love. Him and Lonette McGee were a couple I loved in this movie as well. All of Gregory and his brother’s Maurice dancers were the highlight as well as the other hoofers of that era. I’m just glad I can go back in time any time to watch this. James Remar, Nick Cage, Fred Gwynn all add to this film. James Remar can play a hood any day but in sex in the city he was good as well. The backdrop was gangster drama but I loved it got the music. I even bought the soundtrack.

˜¨¯¯¨˜¤♥(¯`*•♥.¸ Truly An Agless Flick!¸.♥•*´¯)♥¤ª"˜¯¯¨¨ A movie that looks & sounds fresh today as it did 25 years ago. The Best Musical Set In America's Best Musical Time! The Roaring 20's! A musical with as much drama, excitment, murder, & mayham as you can handle in 2 hours. Richard Gere Plays a pretty mean horn in it as well!(Possibly his best role ever...) Gregorg Hines one tap routine will knok your socks off! Bob Hoskins MOB boss role was uncartoon like!
My all time favorite movie. It has all the right stuff, entertainment, romance, drama, action, and a bit of history thrown in. It's fast moving, immensely entertaining, and has edge of your seat action. Love it!!

The Cotton Club is a thoroughly entertaining movie. The actors are fantastic and the music is to dye for. What's not to love?
