Im looking for some movies for me and my friends to watch. We love these movies, especially the older ones.
I've seen Black Dynamite, Dolemite, The Legend Of N****r Charley, and Boss N****r.
Any others I should look for?
"Willie Dynamite" is a must:

"Penitentiary" is another must:
http://www.badmovies.org/movies/penitentiary/
(there are 2 sequels as well)
Also, "Petey Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son-In-Law" is great:

"The Human Tornado" is the sequel to "Dolemite" and has its moments:

"Soul Vengeance" has a real freaky premise:

"Black Shampoo" is also a weird one:

Another Rudy Ray Moore film is "Avenging Disco Godfather." The quality isn't near the first, nor the second:

Others I'd recommend:
Cleopatra Jones
Coffy
TNT Jackson
Slaughter
The Mack
Superfly
Shaft (and sequels, of course)
Man, there are a bunch to recommend, but I don't have the time to right now. I'm sure some more will get suggested.
The above, and also "Black Dynamite", it's kind of a parody/homage to blacksploitation films, and it's hilarious.
Foxy Brown
Blacula
Black Belt Jones

THEE best Blaxploitation film EVER>
Im drunk..having a hard time here...
son offa b***h-dam
If you aint seen the MACK-aint seen nothing,Motherf**ker! :cheers:
I might add:
- The Two "Slaughter" films.
- Across 110th Street. This is a personal favourite. Not exactly 100% blaxploitation, because of the white people involved, but a terrific film.
These are all great! xD thanks :thumbup:
Most of the blackspolitation films i've seen have already been mention. Foxy Brown, Coffy, Shaft etc I will add one to the pile Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song doesn't the title just make you want to go out and see it right.
Pretty much anything with Pam Grier in it is a must watch.
Coffy
Foxy Brown
Superfly (Killer music in this one)
Black Caesar
Buck Town
Willie Dynamite
Three the Hard Way
Black Samson
Hot Potato
BLACKENSTEIN (1973)

HELL UP IN HARLEM (1973)

THESE ARE AWESOME!!! :teddyr: :thumbup:
"Penitentiary 2" with Mr.T. It's just so bad it's good. The stereotypes are hilarious and the acting is simply horrible. I think the movie has a budget of about $15. Ernie Hudson and that little guy from "Bad Santa" are also in it (although the would probably never admit to it). And by the way, have you ever seen a prison boxing match televised on regular broadcast TV?
All of the titles mentioned are highly recommended. Another one I'd like to throw out is my personal fav - Darktown Strutters. It's a crazy, manic, hilarious flick that seems to be what you'd get if you mixed blaxploitation with a bit of Looney Tunes. Very weird, very funny, and a few musical numbers to boot...
I guess American Gangster could be viewed as a high budget Blacksploitation movie. Also, most will probably disagree but I remember quite liking the Shaft remake with Samuel L. Jackson, though it's been over a year since I last saw it.
Detroit 9000 (1973) wasn't completely awful. I will say this, the Tarantino banner on the VHS had me wanting to watch it.
I'm Gonna Git You Sucka I liked.
Putney Swope (1969) and The Thing with Two Heads (1972) I haven't seen but have heard interesting this about them.
.ABBY (1974)-This recieved scant circulation on it's intial release-Warner Bros. sued-saying it ripped off the Exorcist.

I've seen "Shaft" and one of the "Slaughter" movies but other than those I've never delved very deeply into Blaxploitation films. I've also seen two of the "Black Cobra" flicks with Fred Williamson (thank you, Dollar Store DVD rack), but I don't think they exactly qualify as "blaxploitation" cuz they were made in the '80s, not the '70s.
I did recently see "The House on Skull Mountain", a blaxploitation/horror flick from 1974, on Fox Movie Channel. That was a goof. Basically it was an African-American version of "House on Haunted Hill." Not very scary at all, but the '70s fashion and street slang was a scream. Plus it starred the late Mike "Lionel Jefferson" Evans. The trailer makes it look way more awesome than it actually is:

I recently found out about THIS movie, and I'm obsessed with finding it, just because of the name of the star... "Warhawk Tanzania." Come ON! How can he NOT be a total bad-ass with a name like THAT? :teddyr:

Supposedly it's a combination blaxploitation/kung-fu/horror flick about a ghetto kung-fu master who battles a Chinese demon living in the New York Subway. Sounds like a hoot and a holler. I can't even find a clip on YouTube though. Anybody heard of/seen it?
