The Best B-Boy Movies

2. Beat Street (1984)

Director: Stan Lathan

Given, this isn’t a particularly awesome movie from a cinematic point of view, but it does manage to adequately capture the essence of B-boying on New York City’s streets. Centered around a clique of friends from the Bronx, who are all involved in hip hop culture, this movie plays on the earlier low-budget film Wild Style by showcasing the importance of the movement. Considered a hip hop classic, the dance battle between the Rock Steady Crew and the New York City Breakers is rather epic.
