Men in Black

1997

USA

Barry Sonnenfeld Director
	Amblin Entertainment Production Company
	Columbia Pictures Distributor

Smith is still in his obnoxious 'Fresh Prince' mode, but that's offset by Jones' deadpan performance and a witty script, that makes the film still look pretty fresh two decades later.

Followed by two sequels:
Men in Black 2
Men in Black III
