Idk, I'm not as high on Crooklyn as some here. It was ok, but Clockers was def better. Would that qualify in this category? If y'all talking Spike, check out School Daze if you haven't. One of his movies I liked.

I feel ya, I'd probably like to watch Clockers more but I love Crooklyn still

School Daze is cool as well, I havent seen too many musicals in my day but that's one of them

This here, is a Spike film I dont see people mention more that I like as well

Damn, forgot about that one. Good movie

OP said quality...might as well throw in Soul Plane, and Who's Your Caddy...

Back on track...

Love this movie. Dude is a poet for real. 

This was also good 

I was gonna post Brown Sugar...but I cringed when I saw Taye Diggs, can't even do it. 

.I can't stand his ***

They making a sequel to that mess. We don't want one. Do they realize in real time Morris Chesnut's character could legit retire?

Ok I was a bit harsh 

. At the moment I posted it I was projecting my disdain for Taye Diggs, The Best Man was good, although I'm not a fan of Diggs or Terrance "what's goin on witchu mayne" Howard 

 

[roc boy jada]

I liked this.

^I never even heard about Yelling To The Sky last year. It looks like a solid movie.

 

[currensy]

Even though I think majority of people in here have seen this but
View media item 520078I do think the storyline could've been drawn out a tad bit more, felt kind of rushed imo still though

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

^Thats a fair crtiticism even though I dig that movie I totally understand your point.


Malinda Williams had me in love in that film though! She was on point!

Spike Lee has launched a Kickstarter campaign to enlist the help of the public in funding a new film to follow his next feature-length film aka the newest hottest Spike Lee Joint. Lee dives into his first Kickstarter campaign with an ambitious goal of $1,250,000.00 – his zeal for the crowdfunding platform is fueled in-part by the successful efforts of other Hollywood producers, including Zach Braff‘s $3 million budget for a sequel to Garden State and Rob Thomas‘ Veronica Mars movie project which raised $5 million – $3 million more than the original $2 million goal. While some people disagree with crowdfunding as a means of financing big budget productions or pretty much anything attached to celebrities, Spike Lee makes a very valid point about the nature of big business for creatives:

“The only way to ensure as an independent filmmaker that your vision gets onscreen, is when you bring the money to the table.”

His appeal to fans, friends and other interested parties arrives with an abundance of sincerity, cool perks and the requisite Public Enemy score as Spike vows to continue to fight the good fight. Steven Soderbergh has already pledged $10,000 to the campaign which has raised over $100,000. Check the footage below to get the full explanation from Spike Lee. Donate to the fundraising campaign for Spike Lee’s forthcoming film via Kickstarter.

I watched this documentary yesterday, and enjoyed it a lot.

It's streaming on Netflix, and also on Youtube.

 

[thorrocksjs]

City of God and City of Men are two good black foreign films

streethoodworld

They make great movies.

I liked this one a lot. 

I specifically came in here to suggest this.

Then Dead Presidents but that got mentioned too.

So everybody go watch Above the Rim

 

[ishnaga]

Might as well suggest hoop dreams bruh

 

[kingkoopa]

Might catch some heat but I always thought Baby Boy was one of the most underrated black films of our times.

It really touched on some serious issues as far as our black youth.
