CROOKLYN

'''Crooklyn''' is a 1994 semi-biographical film written and directed by Spike Lee. The film takes place in Brooklyn, New York during the 1970s. Its primary focus is a young girl, Troy (played by Zelda Harris), and her family.
A distinctive characteristic of ''Crooklyn'' is its soundtrack, comprised completely of music from the 1970s, except the hit single "Crooklyn" by the Crooklyn Dodgers, a rap crew composed of Buckshot, Masta Ace and Special Ed. A two-volume release of the soundtrack became available on CD along with the release of the film.
Similar to ''Do the Right Thing'' and ''She's Gotta Have It'', Spike Lee has a role in ''Crooklyn''. He plays a bully and drug addict named Snuffy.
''Crooklyn'' is one of only two films directed by Spike Lee to earn a PG-13 rating in the USA, the other being 1992's ''Malcolm X''.
