I vaguely remember Soul Food, but I do love my drama. A little comedy every now and then is okay, even though I’m generally on the more serious side. I like movies that are relative to life. I think most black people do.

Ok..sorry, but you’re off on this one. Cuz ain’t a horror movie in the world that doesn’t have bookoo dollars coming from the black community.

So true…depressed…when I saw old Cicely Tyson preaching once again how the family has to stick together I almost vomited. But what really pissed me off were the people clapping in the audience. I guess they hadn’t been to church in a while and needed to get a dose of b.s. Cause I’m sure most of them walked right out of the theater and it was business as usual.

theres many films that can fit in that list but jose ole thats very true, the depressing films im talkin about are those that are based off american culture. black americans dont really like africans.

If a movie has the followin people in it it will make tons of money.

Martin Lawrence (especially if he’s in a fat suit dressed up like a old woman)
Will Smith (saving the world)
Cedric the Entertainer (doing back flips or other impossible things for someone who weighs 300+
Bernie Mac, speaking unclearly.

man if you gon talk about depressing films, you gotta come harder than “soul food” lil doggie.

malcolm x
dead presidents
set it off
boyz n the hood
menace 2 society
that dance movie with b2k and imx boys where lil dude get shot
selena (now that’s a depressing one)
panther
any movie involving child soldiers in africa

in general i think black people like movies with black people in them, though. especially if it’s an ensemble cast of celebrities.
