"Friday"

What are your movie tastes?

Friday is a 1995 American stoner, buddy, comedy film directed by F.Gary Gray in his directorial debut. It stars Ice Cube, who co-wrote the film with Dj Pooh, and Chris Tucker in his first starring role. The film details roughly 16 hours in the lives of unemployed Craig Jones (Cube) and Smokey (Tucker), who must pay a drug dealer $200 by 10:00 p.m. that night.

The film's success spawned two sequels:  Next Friday (2000) and  Friday after next (2002). A fourth installment entitled Last Friday has been in the works for several years and has gotten the greenlight as of April 2017, according to John Witherspoon.
