I just watched Mandingo for the first time in a long time. I may or may not watch Drum the sequel which I think is on netflix instant. I didn't like it as much as Farewell Uncle Tom.

I'm trying to think of other slavery themed movies, not neccasarily in the American South. Anyone seen any good/bad ones?

AMISTAD is good in my opinion.

Definitely.  One of Spielberg's best films ever, and Djimon Hansou's first movie!

Cosmos: War of the Planets and Star Odyssey are about slavery.  In Cosmos, a starship follows a signel to a planet who's inhabitants have been enslaved by their computer.  In Odyssey, some aliens buy Earth so they can sell humans as slaves.  I believe War of the Robots also involves slavery, but I haven't seen it.

DRUM is an awful sequel.  But Warren Oates is in it, so you should watch it.

This is a most excellent movie about slavery. It looks deeply into the issue and brings a fresh look at the evils of human enslavement.  Lookingup TeddyR TongueOut

Not strictly a movie, but Roots, the TV miniseries, is very good. We rented it a couple of years ago, which would be the first time I've seen it since it aired back in the 70s. Good cast, but can get a little weird seeing network stars of the time in such an epic production. Never saw the two sequels, and don't think I want to.

don't forget the two italian top-sleazeries and Emanuelle Bianca & Nera shot back-to-back by infamous director Mario Pinzauti.

There was a film called Slavers made in the then Rhodesia with Trevor Howard and Britt Ekland. I haven't seen it.

And the new SPARTACUS series on STARZ is entertaining - if you don't mind an enormous amount of gratuitous nudity and over the top 300-style violence.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
