Often here on NT I have seen discussions regarding black films (movies directed or written by an African-American with a primarily African-American cast) and the lack of quality black movies. There are many African-Americans who are tired of the negative and regurgitated stereotypes constantly displayed in Tyler Perry movies and I realized in these discussions on here that many people are not aware that there are quality black films out there.
I searched to see if there was a "Black Film" thread and found nothing so I decided to start one where those seeking quality black films can share and discuss past and upcoming films.
Over the past few years I have watched some really great black films most of them being indie-release that have received high critical acclaim. Here are a few:
Mooz-lum
Night Catches Us
I Will Follow
Medicine For Melancholy
Red Hook Summer
LUV
Pariah
Here are a also a few that have come out this year (all recently) that are on my radar to see:
Fruitvale Station
Big Words
Middle of Nowhere (by the Director of "I Will Follow")
Enjoy and share your thoughts or any other good films you know! For good info on films such as these be sure to check out http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/
