<p>During the 1970s and 80s, the nascent Jamaican movie industry created a trio of films that have become cult favorites. The most famous, Perry Henzell's <i>The Harder They Come </i>(1973), is an unforgettable, unvarnished snapshot of life in Jamaica; Dickie Jobson's surreal <i>Countryman</i> (1984) is a mystic work steeped in Rastafarian culture; and Theodorous Bafaloukos' <i>Rockers</i> (1977) is a charismatic tale of violence and revenge set within Jamaica's reggae music scene. Out of the three, <i>Rockers</i> is perhaps the most enjoyable to watch, with crisp, colorful cinematography and a vibrant soundtrack. Featuring boisterous dialogue, a terrific cast, and a wonderful story, <i>Rockers</i> is simply a treat to watch.
