I was looking up Fear of a Black Hat on IMDB which looks like another CB4 and seen this movie....

Anyone every seen? I feel bad that I haven't watched a lot of these black films yet. I remember watching The Fat Boys in one of their movies, but I think it was Disorderlies.

Of course I've seen it. It's a semi Def Jam Biopic...kinda

Reps for everyone that posted a list. I'll get who I couldn't get tomorrow.

Thought this thread would be good for discussion before we get into Black History Month and the controversial Oscar Awards this year.

It's sad that so few black films come out these days and even fewer get recognized. The 90's seems like the peak for great black films.

 

[IllustratorMike]

Malcolm X
Do The Right Thing
Shaft's Big Score
Truck Turner
Black Caesar

Just way too many black films that could be in my top 5. Shyt can fluctuate depending on my mood.
