One year later, Cube made his big-screen debut in John Singleton’s seminal coming-of-age film Boyz n the Hood.

In witness the unfair treatment, Johnson and Fields work to prove Teddy’s innocence.

9 Next Friday (2000) 6.2/10

Steadfast in denial at first, Calvin slowly realizes through heartened and hilarious testimony of the shop’s customers that you cannot put a price on such an important place.

7 Trespass (1992) 6.3/10

The second feature film Cube starred in was Trespass, a gritty action thriller directed by Walter Hill from a script by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis. Ice-T, Bill Paxton, and William Sadler costar.

6 Higher Learning (1995) 6.5/10

Four years after making his mark in Boyz n the Hood, Cube reunited with director John Singleton for Higher Learning, a movie that explores the tension between black and white America.

Costarring Omar Epps, Jennifer Connelly, Larry Fishburne, Michael Rappaport, Kristy Swanson, Regina King, and others, the film tracks a diverse student body at Columbus University who experience racial strife and prejudicial tension on campus. When a white supremacist hatches a plan to shoot black students on campus, positive action is taken to promote peace.

5 22 Jump Street (2014) 7.0/10

Cube reprises his role as no-nonsense Police Captain Dickson in 22 Jump Street, a sequel in which the two leads Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) graduate to undercover work at a local college.

Much of the plot revolves around the fraying relationship between the two buddy-cops. Jenko meets a strapping football star named Zook (Wyatt Russell) who he becomes new best friend with, leaving Jenko alone to investigate the artsy crowd on campus. As Schmidt and Jenko work to find the supplier of the drug WHY-PHY on campus, they must mend their friendship in the process.

4 Three Kings (1999) 7.1/10

Cube costars alongside George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg in the screwball war comedy Three Kings, directed by David O. Russell.

While on a mission in Kuwait, the quartet of U.S. soldiers happens upon a cache of gold bullion. As they hatch a plan to transport the unreported loot to keep for themselves, their selfishness takes a backseat when witnessing lethal atrocities conducted by the empowered regime. Instead of enriching themselves, the Three Kings set out to help liberate the locals.

3 21 Jump Street (2012) 7.2/10

In 21 Jump Street, listless cops Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are given the assignment to infiltrate a high-school while undercover as students in order to identify the supplier of a deadly synthetic drug. Cube plays their demanding Captain who refuses to take no for an answer.

Once enrolled, the two underachievers take the drugs themselves, leading to a wacky experience that helps them get closer to the drug dealer in question. The Chip Lord and Chris Miller film also feature Brie Larson, Dave Franco, Jake Johnson, Nick Offerman, and more.

2 Friday (1995) 7.3/10

Friday is the movie that really transitioned Ice Cube from into the world of filmmaking. He not only starred in the film, but he also co-wrote and exec-produced the movie.

The classic stoner comedy finds Craig (Cube) fired from his job on his day off. Left with nothing to do, his weed-selling friend Smokey (Chris Tucker) convinces him to smoke for the first time. Craig gives in, but can’t quite function when local drug dealer Big Worm (Faizon Love) and neighborhood heavy Deebo (Tiny Lister Jr.) comes around.

1 Boyz N The Hood (1991) 7.7/10

The first film Cube starred in continues to rank the highest among his entire filmography to date, according to IMDb.

At 24 years old, Singleton was the youngest director and first African American to be nominated for Best Director.

The story follows Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a young man coming of age in South Central Los Angeles while living with his single father, Furious (Larry Fishburne). With loyalty to his closest friends Ricky (Morris Chestnut) and Dough Boy (Cube), Tre must navigate the difficulties of gang-violence claiming too many lives.
