Are we talking good movies, or just anything? i'm just thinking about movies I always watch.

The Walking Dead is one completely forgotten. It's not great, but it does have solid performances.
The Brother from Another Planet - since that's another one from Joe Morton. It's cheesy, but has a lot of heart as well.
Strictly Business & Mo Money are genuinely 90's fun action/romantic comedies
A Low Down Dirty Shame for modern Blaxploitation
Sounder & Claudine
A Soldier's Story
Tap
Attack the Block is my ish

It was huge in the 70's & 80's but by like '88 it had died down. Climate changed and it was forgotten. Similar to Cooley High
