(1990, 1hr 40 min., Rated R)
House Party was written and directed by Reginald Hudlin, based on his award-winning Harvard University student film. In 2022, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The film’s hip-hop and R&B soundtrack, released on March 1990 by Motown Records, peaked at 104 on the Billboard 200 and 20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
The Story: When Play’s (Christopher Martin) parents are out of town, he plans a house party of the century. His best friend Kid (Christopher Reid) is determined to go despite being grounded. Neither can predict what’s in store on what could be the wildest night of their lives.
