I remember seeing Hav Plenty and thinking it was just alright :yeshrug:, I was younger though.

I haven't seen most of the older flicks, but pretty much everyone of the newer ones.

I seen like 48 of them from start to finish. You can add like 3 more I saw parts of.
List is a fail without The Spook Who Sat by The Door though.

I know it's by year, but Belly is :trash: and in no way a classic anything.

I've actually seen more than I thought I would have. Only have a handful to add to a list of things to watch.

I never saw Dolemite, Super Fly, Hav Plenty, Love & Basketball, The Mack, Black Ceasar, Cleoatra Jones and A Raisin in the Sun.

I'm mad that they don't have Fear of a Black Hat or Let's Do it Again

:ohhh:Didn't know Joel Schumacher wrote Car Wash,Sparkle,and the Wiz.

They should have added Rosewood to the list.

That was a pretty good list right there. Some of the later ones we could've done without. There's about 5 flicks on that list I haven't seen. I love the classics though. Need to re-watch Lady Sings The Blues, Mahogany, and Uptown Saturday Night.

The Great Debaters and Dead Presidents should be on that list
