If you have The Beastie Boys Ill Communication you know the "Yo shut the f**k up Chico Man" (or is it from Check your head?).  You may know it's from Wild Style, a great, unique B movie.  Set in the gritty graffiti world of New York.  Amazing early hip hop footage (when hip hop was fun!) sex, and some bad acting make this a perfect way to kill an evening.  Also features the song at the beggining of Nas's Illmatic (the one he's talking over).  Other scenes show the tension between the Art World and the graffiti world.  Graffiti, which was some people's life, became a trend in Soho and well come on how many movies are there about this? Plus, any movie with breakdancing is cool.  Even "The Delivery Guys"
