"It's the tough black mineral that won't cop out when the heat is all about! ...It's Dolemite, baby!"
--Prof. Farnesworth describes the hardest substance known to man in the 30th Century, "Futurama"

I'm not so big on Blaxploitation, but someday I do hope to subject myself to "Blackenstein." Gyaaaaaaah.

Announcer: "Next on Exploitation Theatre: "Blacula," followed by "Blackenstein" and "The Blunchblack of Blotre Blame!"
Homer: "Oooh--funky!"
--Homer watches the old AMC, "The Simpsons"

Well, you got me. DOLEMITE is missing from my list. I thought long and hard about it, but it just isn't one of my favorites. Although, I must say, it does have some GREAT quotes!

As for BLACKENSTEIN . . . now there is a TRULY bad film. But VERY entertaining in a "1970s" sort of way . . .
