Bond's gun spoke once....
Edit;Basically decided to just do a straight top 10. I put straight outta compton as one that doesnt get that much recognition while I feel in hip hop it is an incredibly important movie, at least the first two acts. One movie I didnt put on that I thought hard about was American History X....that movie has a huge social significance, but I was unsure if I should put it on. Had to round it out to these ten.

That's a legit great top 10 (Minus Ali). I can tell you put a lot of thought into this one. I thought of putting AHX on mine too, but really it don't belong there.

i through this was about our personal opinion
why does Oscar nomination(white validation) a factor.
.just cause i think a black was well done or met the criteria for mainstreamr award recognition don't mean it's a personal fave.anyway by your own standards
Love Jones(was kinda boring but yet still kept my attention throughout cause of well written the dialogue and the infectious performances from the caste )
The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete(depressing but hopeful ending and if Precious can win an Ocar for this doom and gloom type dysfunctional ghetto family story why can't this)
Menace 2 Society(not really a hood crime movie kinda guy but this was arguable the best from the genre and had a strong message)
The 5 Heartbeats(black classic,not one of my top but mainstream film awards love movies about black musicians from the civil right era and this one of the few that didn't put me to sleep everything i watch it)
Creed(didn't like the ending but i can understand the accalim it has received)
The Last Dragon(while take issue with that the lead and his love interest were mutts playing blackfolk and the little kids intervening in the showdown between Bruce Leroy and cac mob boss's goons was corny this is sentimental favorite and a black classic)
Foxy Brown( this is one of the goat black action star/sex symbols Pam Grier most noteworthy works)
Black Dynamite(other than the lame ending and the c00nish backstory about the antagonist being an ex Vietnam vet this was a flawless parody and blaxploitation flick)
Blackbelt Jones(lowkey Jim Kelly was not that far behind/arguably on par with Bruce Lee as far as karate action heros and this was the movie that convinced me)]
River Niger(the first time i watched this whole movie i weeped real nikka tears at the end)
Black Bolt
Superstar
The Wood
The Five Heartbeats (my #1
