God damn you are a epic retard.

Yall give him passes because he was one the first black stars. Dont get me wrong i liked Raisin in The Sun and that movie he did as a teacher in England, but for the most nothing is special about his movies, other than the fact that he was a black lead actor in those days.

Boyz N The Hood>>>>>>

 

[Turenne]

'In The Heat Of The Night' >>>>> any other film with a black lead.

Now fukk off.

 

[prophecypro]

Denzel, Morgan, Samuel

Then..
Eddie, Will, Wesley

Shoutout to Sidney Potier and James Early Jones though

Boyz N The Hood>>>>>>

In in Heat of the Night
The Wilby Conspiracy
Uptown Saturday Night
Let's Do it Again
Cry the Beloved Country
Blackboard Jungle
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
The Defiant Ones
Porgy and Bess
Lilies in the Field
Brother John
Shoot to Kill (underrated)
They Call Me Mr. Tibbs

and I'm sure I missed a few



Sidney is in a class of his own.

Morgan Freeman hasn't been the lead in a lot of movies, but his quality is second to few.

But for more recent actors:

Denzel
Wesley Snipes
Samuel

So every single last one of those movies are better than Boyz n The hood?

 

[young3000]

Sometimes I wish the coli could revoke access of certain posters from making threads

I would put Danny Glover on the list before Cube and Omar Epps

 

[Real Talk of NY]

Denzel
Will Smith
Wesley Snipes

 

[AgentSofia]

Morgan, Denzel, and idk i guess Will, only cuz i loved the way he committed to that gay kiss in 6 degrees of seperation, not a lot black guys can do that.

and i am Soo glad nobody said Tyler Perry. Im sick of him and angry that he is playing Alex Cross in the new movie. how they just gonna boot out Morgan Freeman like that?!?

 

[L&HH]

Damn all the way on page 3 (11 ppg btw) and no mention of Forest Whitaker (honestly idk if he gave us the most classics but I'd assume he got some under his belt due to Last King of Scotland). nikkas naming Omar Epps, LaRenz Tate, and Ice Cube and shyt but no mention of Forest Whitaker

 

[mastermind]

just realized no Laurence Fishburne mentions

 

[Luxury Tax]

Robert Townsend
Will Smith
Richard Pryor

 

[newarkhiphop]

Scarface
Dolomite
Alonzo Harris
