Love Heaven is Playground. I tried to watch last month, but my old ass DVD was scratched upHeaven Is A Playground is a pretty dope bball movie I used to watch all the time as a kid. It's rare, though.
Fly By Night another childhood fav, about an aspiring hiphop group.
First Time Felon with Omar Epps and Delroy Lindo is a dope HBO movie.
Trespass is ok. Surviving the Game is better from an entertaining angle.
I'm going through my collection:
Bamboozled is an interesting one. Most people didn't understand what Spike was doing though.
The Cherokee Kid, if you can find it. A black Western starring Sinbad and other legends.
Strapped
Clockers
Fresh - but that's well known and critically acclaimed

nikkas got Fresh, Clocker, Major Payne, and The People Under the Stairs as mid? I thought most people had em as blassics.
Nostalgia may have me remembering Fresh better than what it is…but the others, I would never think of as mid.
Get On the Bus with bizarro Dwyane Wayne/Kadeem Harris probably fits as mid (thinking of him…Lockdown might be another one)
Against the Wall…I would say it’s a black movie, but maybe too good to be called mid. Haven’t watched it in a minute tho.
Edit:
looking thru his imdb, fake dwyane Wayne was always playing some fukked up role. Always killed em, should’ve gotten more shots at bigger roles.

@ some of these choices. I see some cult & Black classics postedMy first couple of negs on The Coli was saying that this was the era where the soundtracks were better than some of the films.
Def Jam, Loud, etc was killing it at that timeSide note:
People joked on Mario Van Peebles when he made 'Solo'
And another sci-fi dud, but had action was 'Eve of Destruction' with Gregory Hines. It was his version of Terminator

Edit:
Fresh was an indie flick and a lot of folks still never seen it. Same with Fear of a Black Hat, and both are critically acclaimed. People Under the Stairs is cult, but relatively unknown. I know more white horror fans than black folks that have seen it. Based on the OP's examples, they're fair game.

The black man is always targeted.
Mo Money was NOT that bad ESPECIALLY compared with how many shytty movies came out around that time.

Didn’t end up finishing it until last night. I found the first 20 minutes awful but it ends squarely in mid once we get into the office plot and action
mo money is still hilarious...and those imitations are hilarious sweetheart..

They’re not, and the movie was the definition of mid. Definitely wouldn’t call it hilarious, but the wayans family as a whole has always been hit or miss with me
solo was mid as fukk
if you dont fukk with wayans bros then alot of their movies would be miss..luckily i love raw offensive humor
so
