My Favorite 5 Black Movies of All Time

There are movies I love. Many of them are Black films. Who doesn't like seeing parts of themselves on screen? Who doesn't like being inspired while being entertained? And those probably the main criteria for this particular faves list.

Oh, if there were a Top 10 these movies would make the list. They're are Claudine, The Last Dragon, Madea's Family Reunion, The Wood, & Love & Basketball. Oh, and number 11 is Menace to Society.

Now, let's get into the top 5.

5. The Fighting Temptations I first saw this movie at a sneak peek showing and I loved it ever since. I know I first watched it for the star-power. But after I saw it, I knew it was a story about offbeat church folks beating the odds. And you know quirky church people are my people.

4. (Tie) Crooklyn & Polly I am a sucker for a coming-of-age story. And these two stories are the best. Polly tells the story of a child that changes her world. Crooklyn is a story about a child who is changed by her world. Who can't relate to that?

3. She Hate Me Yes, it is the movie that put Anthony Mackie on my Eye Candy List(even though he not on it now). Gosh, he oozes sexiness all in this movie. Baby, Come and Get it!!! But, that's not why I love this film. What secrets do you think Big Pharma is hiding? Sheeit...This movie will open your eyes.

2. Deliver Us From Eva In a previous post, "Yep, She was Black & Nerdy & Awkward. And You Loved Watching Her" (Read it HERE) and I talk about the nerdy qualities of the main character, Eva Davenport. That is one of the reasons I am drawn to this piece of cinema. The other is that this film is about the effects of being dedicated to family & forgetting yourself & your heart. And I still jam out the oranges' anthem "Ain't No Stoppin' Sunshine" by Yoli almost 15 years later.

1. Amour Infinity It's not just my Favorite Black movie. It is my Favorite Movie of All Time. It is an indie gem that will reinforce the feelings in the coldest of hearts. And confirms emotions in the warmest ones. It is honest about love & the people that experience it. And I Appreciate That. And because I love my readers, I'll let you know you can watch it HERE.

Yeah, my list doesn't have the most popular Black movies on it. I am not the Belly type. And The Color Purple is a nice movie but not one of my favorites. That's another reason this list is mine. What is your favorite Black film? I know you have one. Tell me in the comments on this post or on the social media site that you see this.
