Watch: Crooklyn 1994 123movies, Full Movie Online – Co-written with siblings Joie and Cinqué Lee, Spike Lee’s CROOKLYN is a semi-autobiographical portrait illuminating the life of the lively Carmichael family and their vibrant Bedford-Stuyvesant community. Schoolteacher and loving Carmichael matriarch Carolyn (Alfre Woodard) runs a no-nonsense household, working hard to keep the lights on and raise her nine-year-old daughter Troy (Zelda Harris) alongside her 4 rowdy brothers with little help from her sensitive, struggling jazz-musician husband Woody (Delroy Lindo). Troy proves adept at holding her own while navigating adolescence amid the fertile chaos of one dynamic Brooklyn summer in 1973. Joie Lee conceived the high-spirited CROOKLYN screenplay as a lyrical celebration of her Brooklyn childhood and, together with her brothers, helped develop her story in honor of their mother who died when Joie was 14 years old. Featuring one of the best soundtracks of the 90s, co-starring music from the Stylistics, Sly and the Family Stone, the Staple Singers, Johnny Nash, Curtis Mayfield, Cymande, the Chambers Brothers, the J.B.’s, The Delfonics, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and so much more..
Plot: From Spike Lee comes this vibrant semi-autobiographical portrait of a school-teacher, her stubborn jazz-musician husband and their five kids living in ’70s Brooklyn.

Spike does it again
As a white Baby Boomer who grew up in a very insular environment (in my high school graduating class of about 380 there was only a handful of minority students), I really enjoy Spike Lee films- watching “School Daze” and “Do The Right Thing” took me into a culture that I knew nothing about. Still, I felt like an outsider looking in. But I just saw “Crooklyn,” and was struck by how at home I felt; it was like a nostalgia trip. In the end, we are more alike than different. If you are from that time, the music will wrap around you like an old friend’s hug. Great film!
