| Some of these films are only here for nostalgic value |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 46
|
| not many black people I know hav heard of The Spook Who Sat By The Door |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 25
|
| Naw, with Nothin' But a Man |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 27
|
| I agree. I might replace Spook with Malcolm X. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 51
|
| Replace Spook!!? The most empowering of the 28? |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 58
|
| Beat Street. Purple Rain is too popular to remove, |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 59
|
| Replace it with X - more beloved and potentially empowering. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 62
|
| This is about loving freedom!! Enough to kill or die for it! |

|
| Remove The Wiz. Strongly consider removing Waiting to Exhale |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 2
|
| The Wiz cannot be removed. |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 3
|
| The Wiz is a terrible movie. I've said this for years now. |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 17
|
| And while we're at it take 5 Heartbeats off too. Replace with Ray. |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 20
|
| No. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 35
|
| And yet I still stand. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 38
|
| Your irrelevancy? Agreed |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 40
|
| Coo-coo! COO-COO!! |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 41
|
| So? That's not the point. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 52
|
| The Wiz isn't fun for me to watch. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 61
|
| For _you_. Blackness is bigger than _you_ and your experience. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 64
|
| I was just refuting your statement about it being "fun to watch" |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 75
|
| Yes. Geez. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 80
|
| lol!!! right |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 105
|
| Naw, there's plenty of folks who'll argue me down that The Wiz |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 107
|
| just because it wasn't fun FOR YOU doesn't mean the rest of us |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 101
|
| Most of the songs aren't original to this movie. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 108
|
| no one gives a shit if the songs are original to the movie |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 114
|
| Day 17!! I have only seen 16 of those all the way thru. |

|
Jan 28th 2015 | 10
|
| black vs Black |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 11
|
| YES. |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 16
|
| Coming to America is a far better film than Harlem Nights. |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 21
|
| quality is not the point. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 54
|
| Double the reason. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 135
|
| Life is a better movie than Harlem Nights |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 60
|
| No one is quoting Purple Rain?!?!?! "I need to see some ______ |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 113
|
| true |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 36
|
| Definitely |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 45
|
| I'd replace HN with CTA in a heartbeat. I'd replace Love Jones |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 47
|
| yeah Boomerang needs to be on the list |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 74
|
| yeah. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 84
|
| No |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 98
|
| Nah, Love Jones is essential. I'd add Boomerang in place of E'sB |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 112
|
| I posted a quote from CTA on my fb and 5 people didn't get it |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 99
|
| No Malcolm X ?? |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 7
|
| I was fully expecting to see this in the list |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 22
|
| or Cooley High? |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 26
|
| SOMEthing on this list can come off to make room for Cooley High |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 29
|
| RE: SOMEthing on this list can come off to make room for Cooley High |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 31
|
| Spook could be removed for Cooley High. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 53
|
| Spook is a non negotiable! |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 67
|
| several of my faves are missing. Several that I think ppl should see are... |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 76
|
| Fair-- Ima have to write this whole list off though |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 91
|
| No Cooley High? WTF |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 69
|
| ikr? |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 88
|
| phew |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 8
|
| Stormy Weather, Cabin In The Sky, Nothing But A Man... |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 12
|
| Nothing But a Man should replace The Spook Who Sat Behind the Door |
|
Jan 28th 2015 | 18
|
| No |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 33
|
| I dunno if it's first-tier essential viewing, though. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 34

|
| ITHOTN is a good-ass movie |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 28
|
| Once for a project, in HS, I was given a choice to watch and write |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 32
|
| YES! I think the 3 vs 1 scene is more powerful than the slap |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 73
|
| I never watched this but I will now just to see that slap |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 102
|
| The slap scene would make a great animated gif |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 116
|
| It exists. Not linking it here b/c I want dude to see it |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 134

Jan 29th 2015 | 94
|
| no Temptations Car Wash etc but Harlem Nights?he needs HIS card pulled |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 50
|
| Temptations or Jacksons could replace The Wiz. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 55
|
| no doubt |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 57
|
| Nah, both of those are TV miniseries. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 77
|
| Temptations is a TV movie and doesn't count* |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 63
|
| "Women of Brewster Place" is on there - that's a TV movie |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 65
|

|
Jan 29th 2015 | 85
|
| seeing as how important movies like Malcolm X are missing |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 86
|
| roots stays. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 87
|
| If it's not a theatrical feature film, it goes. Non-negotiable. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 90
|
| you lost your right to a say |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 97
|
| Coo-coo! COO-COO!! |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 103
|
| Nope. Both should stay. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 118
|
| The Last Dragon needs to be added |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 56
|
| Neither is ubiquitous enough. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 66
|
| i disagree |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 71
|
| There are enough awful movies on this list to where |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 81
|
| You're wrong. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 83
|
| actually she isnt |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 95

|
Jan 29th 2015 | 126
|
| i would and i did |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 144
|
| replace Devil in a Blue Dress with Glory or Malcolm X |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 68
|
| I concur completely. f you want Denzel in all his glory, either |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 110
|
| Roots is not a film and needs to be removed on principle. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 70
|
| LOL... I knew you would be in here shittin on this list... |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 79
|
| this is cracka ass cracka(c) type of black movie list |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 96
|
| I haven't seen 3 movies on this list |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 100
|
| Glory should be on this list. Take off Eve's Bayou. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 106
|
| ^^^That Patriarchy. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 111
|

Jan 29th 2015 | 125
|

|
Jan 29th 2015 | 128
|
| hell no... Eve's Bayou can't be moved. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 115
|
| EB ain't that essential. That or Rosewood can make room for Glory |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 117
|
| And you call yourself a poet. SMH. |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 120
|

|
Jan 29th 2015 | 109
|

|
Jan 29th 2015 | 130
|
| House Party should probably go on |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 133
|
| House Party needs to be on there somewhere.. and Do the Right Thing |
|
Jan 29th 2015 | 137
|
| Do the Right Thing is there at #9 |
