The Very Best Black Cinema
By an Amazon.com customer
HoodlumHoodlum
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $1.94
This is an undiscovered gem in American Black Cinima. Lawrence Fishburne is outstanding as Bumpy Johnson, supported by Vanessa Williams, Cicely Tyson, and a host of other movie greats.
Ragtime (1981) [VHS]Ragtime (1981) [VHS]
Buy used from: $2.37
Interesting, but convoluted, story of the conflicts between Black and White life in the early part of the 20th century. Outstanding performance by the late Howard Rollins and James Cagney.
Cotton Comes To HarlemCotton Comes To Harlem
Buy used from: $10.19
Perhaps the first of the "new wave" of Black cinema which began in the early 1970s. Redd Foxx shines as a homeless person in Harlem who discovers a stash of money in, of all places, a bale of cotton.
