WHAT IS THE BEST BLAXPLOITATION FILM EVER?

Aiiight in preperation for our Celebration of Black Film and upcoming premiere of our documentary "The 100 Best Black Movies(Ever)" on Saturday, February 3 at The Gem Theater I gotta ask what is the best blaxploitation flick ever? Yes, the blaxploitation era is way cool but what's the coolest movie? I'm rollin' with "Superfly" or maybe "Truck Turner." Can't really decide...

zombie,
Foxy Brown ROCKS!!!
don't forget Blackenstien!!!
I wouldn't call Blazing Saddles a BLAXPLOITATION flick -that would be a RACEPLOITATION movie!!! (and a genius one at that!)

But, what do I know.....Mongo just pawn in game of life.....

bettykck,
Here's a quit tutorial on embedding code ( link below). Pay attention to the height and width the most or the photo will post much too large. You can also host a photo on photobucket.com and it will automatically give you the code to place in the bog window.

I'm one of the movie critics here at FOX 4. I love my job, and I love movies! When I was a kid growing up in Friendship Village, I turned my bedroom into a film studio and made my own movies. I actually won a couple of student filmmaking awards. But, I really got into it for the girls. Naw, I really have a great appreciation for the cinematic arts. I'm going to use this blog to tell you all the stuff I don't have time to tell you about on television. And, I can't wait to hear what you think about the movies I review or the stars I talk to out in Hollywood.
