A very good friend over at NY Diva reminded me that February is Black History Month and preceeded to offer an excellent idea.
"Why not do a blaxploitation theme for February and watch all the classics?"
I responded with a healthy "Fuck yeah!" and preceeded to scour Netflix for all the best blaxploitation classics from the '70s. I'm sure I'll throw in the usual number of new releases as well, but all my Netflicking for Feb. will be nothin' but soul. You're in for a treat kids.
After much deliberation, here's the final list of 10 films I picked for Blaxploitation Month.
Blackula, Shaft, Shaft's Big Score!, Coffy, Foxy Brown, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, Dolemite, Superfly, Cooley High, and The Mack.
Check back soon!

We may have to do a lot of double features because I think I want to see them all. :)
you'd better include Pootie Tang in there... classic. did we ever watch that on a party night?
I don't believe so, but we totally could've!
I would include Pootie Tang, but seeing as it's a modern flick it's not exactly a 'true' blaxploitation film. More of a modern homage I think. :-P
yeah, i guess you're right. it sounds like your month of february is pretty lined-up, movie-wise, but it would be cool if you could fit in a few of these modern homages to this style of film also.
NICE! I love themes. ;)
