Film: Rockbox
We know we need to be eco-friendly, but we still have real love for the battery-eating boomboxes of yesteryear. It's the pulsing LED lights, the EQ slider, the volume knob...it's the whole weight! Remember Radio Raheem in Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing"? Much respect to the boombox and the films that we found that featured the urban icon. Here we go...and by no means an exhaustive list, nor necessarily films of high regard:
The Survivors - 1981
Wild Style - 1982
Flashdance - 1983
Breakin' - 1984
Body Rock - 1984
Krush Groove - 1984
Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon - 1985
A View to a Kill - 1985
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - 1986
Do The Right Thing - 1989
Say Anything - 1989
Pump Up The Volume - 1990
Bad Boys - 1993
Any we've missed (and there are loads of them)? Leave a comment.
If you're inspired, check out this link to the Boombox Museum. But if you're too attached to your iPod to think about going back to analog then we found this impressive accessory...the iPod boombox. Word.
