If you want to talk about a “terrible” movie that got the most love ever, you have to be talking about Purple Rain. With only three professional actors in the entire film, this movie became a cult classic because of the big name artists associated with it, the extraordinary music featured in it and the fact that it gave us a glimpse into the ultimate mystery man’s “life.” You’ve rocked out to all the songs, you might have even memorized a poorly delivered line or two, but we bet you don’t know these behind the scenes secrets. Check them out.

    I watched this movie yesterday for the 100th time and I fall in love with it each time. I grew up on Prince music ever since I was a kid in the 80′s. He is still one of my favorites and this movie is such a classic all the way around and the soundtrack is amazing too.

    ..I just Luv Prince period….He is an example of what is lacking in
    music today which is no originality, creativity or imagination. I am on ( == BlackWhitePlanet– c 0 /m.СòM ==), met many good guys and beauties, they also
    want to find true love. Now I have found my l’ove , so I recommend it to you, I
    hope everyone can find their best l’ove.Goodluck.==(( βlαckwhitеPlanet.СòM)—-==

    Morris Day was awesome. The movie is over 20 years old and I still laugh at all of his scenes.
