Black Movies - Like black twitter, but not as funny.

Destacado
Despite it being an absolutely incoherent, cliche, unrealistic mess, Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon has some top-tier scenes:

 
One of my favorite black movies is Fear of a Black Hat, which didn't get nearly as much attention as it deserved when it came out.

Some of the newer ones I've thought were reasonably entertaining. I liked Girl Trip, and I thought Little looked like it'll be enjoyable trash, so I'll probably wind up seeing it.
 
I've only seen like two of the Madea movies, the first and Family Reunion, which I kind of liked.

I watched Boyz n the Hood for some reason a few summers ago and I wasn't bored, I think I remember enjoying it somewhat. Although BNTH is really on a different playing field than like Big Mama's House or whatever.

EDIT: Apparently it's Boyz n the Hood, not Boyz In the Hood. My English-inclined ass is having a stroke right now.

Being a nigga, myself, I've been exposed to a lot of these fucking movies. These movies do a fine job at reminding me of what the "black community" is based on the differences of other races. They believe in the supremacy of themselves compared to other races, they believe in the separation of their ideas from other races, they speak in their own selective language and criticize others for speaking outside of the language, and they think all white people are stupid. I hate these fucking stereotypes because they express the kind of division the black community as a whole, thinking that superiority comes from their way of talk or their way of life, separating themselves because they think that all races made their separate cultures because they feel as if they are underrepresented because of the Jim Crow laws and the segregation. So, I feel as if black Americans because of the limits of the past and whatnot, are limited in their mindset of thinking and I feel like in terms of their culture, we are in the "Nationalist" stage of this, where it's all about being black and what it means to be black...which is stupid, showing that they care more about race than the mind, and they think race determines the mind.


With this being said, Spike Lee made only 3 good movies, Tyler Perry isn't funny AT ALL, most black comedies pre-White Chicks were pretty funny, and Denzel Washington is like the patriarch for all the "White People Succ" historical fiction movies, and blackified Annie is one of the most boring films I've ever seen.

What do you think of blackified Karate Kid?

For what it is, it's a decent and well-written and definitely well-filmed movie. It's one of the best lit movies I've seen and it is a decent approach with Little Dre ACTUALLY moving to China with his mother. There's some grounded conflict with his dissatisfaction with his mother's decisions and him having to adjust to this rather sharp cultural change because OUTSOURCING.

I find a bit too dramatic though. Like, seriously. The OG film didn't take itself that seriously. It's about a kid that fights off bullies with karate. Come on, now. Also, the aging down of the characters can be a bit weird too. Especially with the love interest shit, with the will-they, won't-they crap, that was kind of weird.

Black movies. We've all heard of them. We may have even been tricked into seeing one or two. They come out constantly and they're all profitable because they got the old church lady audience locked the fuck down.

Recently we got What Men Want, a film about a black woman who gets hit in the head.

And Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funereal, a film about three transgender women who struggle with the loss of a loved one.

Finally, the film that prompted this thread, Little, a movie about a businesswoman who wakes up with a giant afro.

(surprisingly, "woke" is not an allusion to 'being woke')

Have you seen any of these movies? Are you scarred by the memory of Johnson Family Vacation like I am? Come, share your experiences with black cinema!

House Party 2 and 3 are classics, along with Class Act.

Fair. I've never seen it myself and oddly enough I don't remember ever hearing or seeing any reviews of it.

It was mildly received and was a box office success (310 million bucks made off of it approx. Big success for Sony.), but...no one remembers it because it's kind of there. Plus, it's 2 hours and 20 minutes of bleakness.
