Cooley High Cornbread, Earl and me The Education of Sonny Carson... for the umpteenth time!
There were good black movies being made in the 70's outside of blaxploitation.... wish Aaron Loves Angela would come out on dvd, and Youngblood (1978).

I've never seen the original Postman only the remake with Jessica Lange and Jack Nicholson.

The first one is way better, in my humble opinion... that is if you dig film noir!

I love Noir. They kept refering to Postman during the special features for Double Indemnity since they were both written by James M Cain.

Escape From Alcatraz, 1979. Watched it last night for the 100th time and will watch it again at least another 100 times.

The Boys From Brazil (1978) on Blu-Ray. The transfer looks ter-ri-fic! Movie not bad, interesting mix sci-fi, thriller, conspiracy, WW II. Gregory Peck is great. Laurence Olivier started working on my nerves. Small role by Bruno Ganz as well.

Willie Dynamite, 1974. A pimp movie that rivals, if not supersedes The Mack, in the crazy pimpadelic outfits department. But not story or acting wise though. And the titular pimp was the black dude from Sesame street.
Rolling Thunder, 1977. I was so happy to catch this on tv, because I've never been able too get a copy, vhs or dvd! Great "coming home from nam" movie, with William Devane. Very gritty. Now my third favourite "coming home from nam" movie after, First Blood and Gordon's War. (yes, I've seen Coming Home and Deer Hunter)
Friday Foster, 1975. The last Pam Grier, blaxploi flick I didn't have. she was soooooooo hoooooot, back then. But this movie was kinda weak, compared to Coffy or Foxy Brown. And she didn't get naked either.... what a jib!

80 Blocks from Tiffany's. 1979. Documentary on South Bronx street gangs. I love stuff like this... real people, real moment in time, captured on film. It's up on youtube!

This may not count, as I watched it scene by scene on You tube, but I did see it as a kid on t.v too - Flight of the doves. I know, it's kind of - very- cheesy, but Ron Moody scared teh hell out of me as the evil uncle when I was little, and I had a thing for jack Wild as a five year old!

Also, I think this would be a great remake for Tim Burton to do. Johnny Depp would be OUTSTANDING as the multi-disguised evil Hawk Dove, or maybe David Tennant (the current Doctor Who).
