Because of PD's lack of knowledge regarding movies that reflect black people and our culture, I thought I would take the time to make a list of all the noteworthy films that every negro in America must see before he dies.
I would actually love it if the black stallion helped with this list. Beezy, I need some help.
I'll start it off with 10 movies that are ESSENTIAL. The top 10 essentials:
1. The Spook Who Sat By the Door
2. Scarface
3. The Color Purple
4. Once Upon a Time...When We Were Colored
5. Coming To America
6. The Last Dragon
7. Bamboozled
8. Night of the Living Dead
9. Antwone Fischer
10. The Mack
While it ISN'T a film, it should be required viewing and or reading in all history classes: Roots.
Next up, we'll have a top 10 list of black comedy films.

If you saw Scarface on TV, you didn't see it.

Meh. I think it's still a good movie.

Hmmmm nope. Antwone Fischer was directed by Denzel Washington, and based on a book by a black man. It's an amazing movie and it is probably in my top 10. I love that movie so much.
Friday is good, but it's no top 10 imo. It shall be in the comedy list though.

To Kill A Mockingbird is a movie that pops up often in black family circles as well. My father made me watch it when I was 8 years old.

HOUSE PARTY
Kid from Kid n Play went to my high school. He visited during my sophomore or junior year.

I wasn't allowed to watch House Party any more when I was little. I watched it when I was 4 or 5 and it was my first case of cussing because the movie cusses. :-[

Whether you think it sucks or not doesn't change the fact it's a requirement for all blacks to see it.

his best friend stabbed him in the back and boned his sister who was high on coke. :-\

He didn't take advantage of her though. They fell in love, and Tony ruined it :-\

Tupac Resurrection is a must now too.
You have to know the history of Pac!
oh, and no one mentioned Meteor Man!

It's not just rappers, it's blacks in general. It's a staple.

Because it's a rags to riches story about rising from the gutter to the top. Negroes use it for inspiration.

How does that make it a black man movie? The boys from Entourage love that movie, and they are all very white. Are you implying that it is a black people movie because of the violence?
-
It's not necessarily a black people's movie, but it's still a staple. You can't be black and not see Scarface. No way, no how. It's impossible.

it's a black movie because he eventually dies

5. Coming To America
6. The Last Dragon
8. Night of the Living Dead
These should be required for everyone to see, not just black peeps.

Amistad <3
Amistad is not a bad movie. It's not surprising that movies about slavery can get some rather meh reviews; I think Amistad's RT is in the 70s right now, which isn't bad I guess.
That opening scene where the slave is using his bloody fingers to dig out the nail=omg :-\

I think if you look at it from a certain perspective, there's something perversely enjoyable about seeing a member of a minority coming from literally nothing and becoming wealthy and powerful simply due to his wits and the willingness to do violence. He then proceeds to dominate one of the symbols of the ruling class - a beautiful white woman. It's pure wish fulfillment, and I don't see it as reinforcing negative stereotypes any more than white people pretty much worshipping stuff like The Godfather and The Sopranos reinforces a negative stereotype.
-
So you agree that it is the NUMBER TWO movie that every black person should see then? I'm not so sure I'd want Scarface to be a part of list that represents my race's culture.
-

I don't really see a problem with it. And I think the first two Godfather flicks would probably be in the same position for the white version of that list.
-
What makes the Godfather flicks white people movies?

The Godfather flicks are the white people movies par excellence. Vito Corleone embodies the American Dream!
The only white people movie that's more required viewing than The Godfather is probably It's a Wonderful Life.

It's seen as artier and thus more "acceptable" to the gringo population. It's very much a nostalgic piece of romantic fiction geared towards middle class white people who don't know shit about real crime.
-
This is patently ridiculous. There's nothing racial about either Scarface or The Godfather. And how is Scarface more representative of "real crime?" Al Pacino acts like a cartoon character in the movie.
-

I know plenty of Cuban dudes who act just like Pacino. NOW THE QUESTION IS - do they act like that 'cause they're Cuban or do they act like that because they saw Pacino acting that way in Scarface? It's a chicken or egg thing.
I think Scarface is a lot more representative of the black experience. A guy is brought over to America on a boat, with nothing to his name, and somehow finds a way to get rich and dominate a white woman. :-*

Pacino's portrayal is a little over the top, but there is an incredible level of machismo in the average Caribbean male, much more so than in the typical white American, and probably a lot closer to the typical urban black guy. I can definitely see how they identify with the character and see the story as being a sort of power fantasy.

Pretty much. Scarface isn't just a black movie, it's a movie minorities enjoy more than most in general.

No, black people want to be successful. And Tony Montana isn't white. He's latino. A minority, just like the black community.

The only latino playing a latino in the movie is the dude that plays Tony's best friend. But that doesn't change the fact that Pacino's playing a latino character.

In my grandma's bathroom actually. She had the movie, and everytime I went over I'd sneek into her room and fast forward to that scene. Then I'd head into the bathroom and do my business.
Now that I think about it, my grandma played a huge role in the advancement of my masturbatory progression. I used to steal her Jet magazines just to rub it out to the Beauties of the Week

You should thank your grandma by telling her exactly that. I'm sure she'll be quite proud to know of her unwitting role in your sexual maturation.

Huh? Where did you get this? This has nothing to with rap culture.
To be fair, Scarface is a HUGE part of rap culture.
That's only because it's a big part of black culture to begin with.
So how did black people steal it in the first place? And again, why? Why not a less crass rags to riches story? Why not Rocky?
Rocky isn't a rags-to-riches story. Not the first one, anyway. And why would black people gravitate towards a movie where the bad guy is a caricature of Muhammed Ali?

Maybe because it's true? >:(
thanks.
i really do love black family comedies. seriously. they're awesome.

Brown Sugar doesn't fall under any of those.

At least he's a white dude playing a caricature of a black man instead of an Italian dude playing a caricature of a Cuban. And yes, Rocky is a rags to riches story. Just because riches doesn't mean money or victory in its case doesn't change the fact that it's a pretty clear LOSER TURNS WINNAR story.

But seriously, there are a few black movies that don't fit into those categories at all.
Beezy, did you see this movie?

Sarcasm. Antwone Fischer doesn't either.

Except there's no physical evidence of the "rags to riches" part, whereas that is available in EXCESS in Scarface.
And I was referring to Carl Weathers' role when I was talking about caricatures. I don't think black audiences would gravitate towards a movie where the person you are rooting against is african american.
-
Yeah, but I don't remember it too good. I know L&B was really popular though. Have you ever seen this?

That's a rather shallow reason.

My bad. Brain fart on that one. Even still, Carl Weathers is a badass, and he WINS. He beats the hero of the movie. How could black people see that as anything but praiseworthy?

It's basically a take on the "good brother, bad brother" theme, but in an urban setting. Very sad movie, but I thought it was cool. Plus Forrest Whittiker is damn crazy in the beginning of the movie. Plus Jada is in it :-*

I love that movie. There are good black movies, but by and by, my comment was pretty much true for 98% of black movie releases.

Because he's presented as a cocky asshole throughout the movie and even at the end, an amateur Italian American boxer is able to go the distance with the champ. That's insulting.

As opposed to the very positive character of Tony Montana?

fuck you, blade 2 is the ultimate racial commentary. you KNOW that deep inside your animu-addled little afrikan heart you think every white boy is really a pale corpse out to suck your soul. wesley snipes is the ultimate threat to impotent undead white male patriarchy: he lives in both worlds -- the sunlit "warm" egalitarian tribal culture of the cradle of life, and the deceitful nightbound caste culture of the european oppressors, and that with that gift he will ultimately lead the world into a bright multicolored future where the shadows cannot exist. you know it. if the nation of aztlan doesn't get there first. or something.

Scarface is one of the least likable characters ever. He's a hotheaded scumbag. I am not one to glorify mobsters, but at least Vito Corleone was rational, and smart. His rise to power included interesting, strategic plans. Scarface is an idiot. He only became rich because he was crazy. He never did anything interesting, just killed people. His death was inevitable and when it came, I thought 'good riddance.'
Plus I hate when they make characters have "morals" by having them averse to killing woman and children.
-
The Last Dragon is amazing, Bamboozled is funny for the wrong reasons. Scarface is shit, and shitty list
-
Scarface is probably my favorite movie ever. I saw it way before it became a hype amongst hiphop so you can't count me in on the bandwagon crowd. It's just one of those movies you can keep watching over again because it's so fun. There isn't anything really boring in it and while it may be a little bit over the top (the movie wasn't intended as a documentary anyway) it still is very realistic. But then you of course got these people hating on the movie for the wrong reasons, ie. that it's associated with hiphop/black people.
I don't think any moviescene can beat the finale of Scarface. There is an incredible build-up towards the inevitable ending. Nobody thought Tony would actually survive it, from the moment they saw Sosa's army raiding his property, but I'm sure everyone still had that little impossible hope cause you were rooting so much for that fantastic character Pacino played.

It tells the story of a group of intergalactic homosexual black men who discover the presence of female creatures on planet Earth. Using guns which shoot deadly rays, they proceed to eliminate females one by one from Earth, which ensures them the ecstatic gratitude of the previously suppressed male population.[1] Before leaving the planet, they leave behind a gay ambassador to educate the Earthlings about their new way of life.
