"THE RICHES" The unemployed graduate will learn a lot from this classic!
*
And since we are talking about Nollywood movies, I've never felt a Nollywood movie so real (even though film-tricked) like a particular scene in "Red Mafians"
*
Wakidi's cult assistant (that dude always saying "basketball no be dwarf game"wink and another fellow cult member killing a student, kicking him down repeatedly if he tries to stand, asking him to pull off his shirt in a remote area before macheting him to death face up on the ground!
*
Is it just me who sees that scene like a real life experience or something? I wouldn't like re-watching the scene at all! Too well-crafted by the makers of that movie!
*
Nigeria has a bunch of dope-brained directors: Teco Benson, Simi Opeoluwa, etc! Heard that Teco's famous "Broad Daylight" was banned by the federal government for that unprecedented technique of attacking a cash-carrying-convoy along a road in uninhabited area by unfolding a tapoline connected to ropes on each end and held in the side bushes by the attackers before unfolding it and coming out to attack as expressed in the movie!
*
BTW, what's up with Teco Benson? Where is that son of a gun?
*
THE GAME (although Ghanaian) is one hell of a movie too! I still watch that subliminal movie up till now! It remains an eternally phenomenal work put out there by Ghana's very own Frank Rajah!
*
Even though THE GAME is rumoured to have been a copied Bollywood film, mehn, I see "the peak of human intelligence" written all over that movie!
*
A friend Lilian knows every line of that movie!

Hello Landers, what's your best-ever Nigerian/Nollywood Movie?
Mine is Oleku by Tunde Kelani...its a very old movie but its my #1 Nigerian movie.. very interesting film featured great Tafa Tomilola of university of ife, Shina peter, simply saka/i don port(Afis Oyetoro), Lere Paimo and so many other great artistes. I have the part one and two, downloaded it from youtube by the help of a pc software, YTD Video downloader.

The movie, Oleku is an adaptation of Prof. Akinwunmi Ishola’s novel of the same name.  Oleku was released by Mainframe Film and Television Productions in 1997.  The movie tells the story of Ajani, a final year student of the University of Ibadan who is in search of a life partner due to pressures from his mother.  He soon finds himself in a quandary as he becomes involved with three beautiful women- ASAKE, his beautiful old time girl friend who has just finished sixth form and teaches in a school in town; LOLA, a pretty, tall, slim and dark first year student he just met; and finally SADE, a childhood acquaintance who gradually and fortuitously gets promoted to the centre stage of the love drama.

The movie was set in the 1970s, as such, every element reflects just that.  Hence, the old vehicles, buildings, costumes, hair-dos and props.  In the movie, all the characters are dressed in the old attires that were worn in the period the story represents.  During the period of its public release and for some years after, Oleku sparked a fashion revolution in Nigeria particularly with the short Iro and Buba which people began to call Oleku.

What's your best-ever or ever green Nigerian/Nollywood Movie?


Tortoise, starring Okey Bakassi, John Okafor and Charles Ehiocha

Damn! I love that Nollywood classic! So so real! I'm still looking for that movie!
*
Tell you what! Inasmuch as my siblings loved it, they always dreaded her ghost appearance that they cut its C.D plate and threw them away!
*
They admitted after we looked for the movie in the house! At first, we all thought one of us may have borrowed it out and forgotten!
*
But earlier this year, the truth was revealed by Esther! Hahahaha! That movie rings bell in our house!

Plus......Igodo, Diamond ring, End time, Glamour Girls, Oduduwa, Jenifa, ...)

Too many to choose from...all good movies worthy of number one
My humble submission
Re: What's Your Best Nigerian/nollywood Movie? by Nobody: 1:28pm On Oct 11, 2014
Some mumuz feel watching Nigerian films makes em local, you are highly on your own. I watch Nigerian films, I enjoy em, I am a Nigerian! I also watch American movies, heck I watch more American tv than Nigerian cause Americans are the best in entertainment, still I enjoy Nigerian films as well. You can strike a balance or even pretend to be patriotic sometimes. Not feeling funky forming "anti nollywood". Monkeys!
