Another good movie banned by the apartheid censor board 

[The Burgomaster]

One of the best of the 70s. Richard Roundtree is cool, the music is cool, the New York locations are cool . . . damn . . . it's so cool. "Shut your mouth!"

A great name for a cinematographer: Urs Furrer.

I prefer other Blaxploitation films of the era like Foxy Brown, Coffy, Cleopatra Jones, Black Caesar, Dolemite and others for a variety of reasons however that doesn't take away from Shaft's importance. It help made the genre go mainstream.

COFFY is one of my favorite films, and FOXY BROWN is a smorgasbord of delights.

Same here. Iconic? Sure. A good movie? Not really.

Like I said, enjoyable bull-crap.

COFFY is my favorite as well. The MACK is a close second.
