First , let me state that I've never been a fan of Nollywood for obvious reasons. These include outrageous storylines, poor screenplay, unnecessary scenes, downright stupid scripts and annoying soundtracks ( I could go on).
Over the years, things have improved but I still feel we are far from where we should be. I've seen a few decent movies like
October 1and Fifty but I've always felt we try to do comedies to hide our shortcomings. Having said that, I actually enjoyed 30 days in Atlanta and more recently The Wedding party.
Two days ago, I was literally dragged to the cinema to watch the movie 76. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. I was simply blown away. The movie features Rita Dominic, Ramsey Noah, Chidi Mokeme, Ibinabo Fiberesima amongst others.
Set in the year 1976 and based on a true story, the movie focuses on the involvement of some army officers in the assasination of Nigeria's Head of state
The acting was fantastic, the screenplay and cinematography were world class while the attention to detail was mind blowing. It was very clear that a high level of professionalism was put into every facet of the movie.
The movie actually transports you into Nigeria of the mid 70s
I'll never forget the scene where a kid was celebrating his birthday in the barracks. Instead of the birthday cake you'd see today was the huge tray of rice and stew with scattered chunks of meat. So many viewers chuckled cos most of us knew that was the norm then.
If u haven't seen the movie, I enjoin you to. If you have, do you agree that it's the best Nollywood movie ever? If not, which Nollywood movie is your pick?
Congratulations to Rita Dominic and Co. Nollywood has come of age!

The best nollywood movie is titled Ori by Muyiwa Ademola Authentic.
Anyone who's watched it can attest to its uniqueness.

Thanks ikbnice. I'll look for the movie Ori. But have you seen 76?

Best ever Nollywood movie is ISSAKABA

Thanks the Sicilian. I've actually seen Isakaba and I believe it's a good movie. However I believe 76 beats it hands down

For me, It would always be a close call between 76 and 93 days, but I would go with 93 days!
Unfortunately, I don't think it's showing at the cinemas again, I would have advised you to watch it!

Thanks home steady. I haven't watched 93 days but I heard it was very good

For me is state of emergency.
