Under The Cherry Moon or Graffiti Bridge?

Well I was thinking of including Purple Rain in this poll, because as far as movies I don't think it is that much better than the others. But I was afraid because of the music and how well known it is, everyone would be picked that. Besides I want to compare the obscure Prince movies.

Well for me, I never seen much of Under The Cherry Moon, I don't remember much about it, or even what songs from Parade as in it. Graffiti Bridge has "Thieve In The Temple", so that might just give it the edge just for that. Plus Morris Day is in it.

Under The Cherry Moon was terrible, so Graffiti Bridge wins by default.

I don't remember which one, but one of the early drafts of one of the movies, the leading lady they had in mind was Madonna. So as bad as these movies might have been, just imagine what could have been.

And I am not one of those that think Madonna is just bad at acting, when cast right, she can be good, I loved Desperately Seeking Susan, Dick Tracy and League of Their Own passable, but when not the right role, it can a train wreck. I don't think she and Prince creative messed, The "Love Song" duet was terrible.

Under the Cherry Moon is underrated, it has pretty cinematography, the soundtrack is much better. It may be goofy but it's not as bad as its reputation. Graffiti Bridge is just boring and looks cheap.

'Purple Rain' is far superior on every conceivable level. Script, acting, plot, film-making, etc. It's a massive reach to say it's not "that much better."

Between the two, 'Graffiti Bridge' edges it for a genuinely good Morris Day performance and the unfiltered look of how Prince sees the world.

'Under the Cherry Moon' is a film best seen in GIFs. It does have better music than 'Graffiti Bridge' though: "Kiss," "Anothaholeinyohead," "Sometimes It Snows in April."

“Under The Cherry Moon” for how it’s shot and the awesome “Mountains” end credits.
