As the Fourth of July weekend approaches, the theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme focuses on one of the most common Independence Day celebrations in America: Backyard BBQ.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring cookouts, barbecues or whatever these casual parties are called in your neck of the woods.
The BBQ scene doesn’t have to necessarily be set in someone’s backyard but a character in the film must be firing up something on a grill. Here are my selections for this week’s Backyard BBQ theme.
Poetic Justice
A group of friends crash a family reunion, where they help themselves to barbecue food, drinks and new acquaintances in this romantic drama starring Janet Jackson, Tupac Shakur and Regina King.
Boyz n the Hood
Friends in an L.A. neighborhood discuss reading books, AIDS and letting women eat first, at a backyard cookout celebrating Doughboy’s return home from prison in this drama starring Laurence Fishburne, Ice Cube, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Morris Chestnut.
