Okay, I'm a bit of a movie buff, not in the traditional way though. I like movies that might be considered B movies but then so do a lot of other people. I'm not into the Cary Grant or Betty Davis type. They just made really really old movies to me. But here's the real list of movies that are true classics to everyone I asked Black or white, or Asian or Hispanic!
11) War of the Worlds- this classic version of the H.G. Wells science fiction novel of the same name starring Gene Barry alias 'Amos Burke' from 'Burke's Law' that classic tv series and 'Bat Materson' a great tv western, is one of the best versions of this story that I've ever seen! Go out and get it and watch it on a slow Saturday afternoon! You will love it; I promise!
10) Creature from the Black Lagoon- always a classic and one of the first horror movies that had more to do with science than witchcraft or devil worship or something.
9) The War Wagon- now john wayne the boob I mean the duke made a lot of pretty good movies. He made even more bad ones, but this was one of his best! And he had a superior actor in the form of Kirk Douglas starring in it with him! Really, Kirk Douglas made this movie great for he is an actor's actor (he's still alive)
8) Charlie Chan- I know that the asians don't really like this series, and I don't blame them for all of the racist overtones in many of the movies, especially the ones sidney toler did, but I have to admit that the series was quite enjoyable.
7) Blackula-Now this exploitation movie about a black vampire sounds ridiculous but it was actually a good movie! Both of them were.
6)The Golden Child- now Eddie Murphy's film the Golden Child is an old 80's film that was really one of his best films of that era! I can't believe that a sequel wasn't done of this movie in the era of big budget sequels and considering he did two sequels for Beverly Hills Cop a movie I didn't really care all that much for; but you see this film was a box office hit also and deserved a sequel for it! Hopefully they'll be working on it now being Eddie hasn't done anything lately and this would be a good new movie for him. No not a comeback for Eddie didn't go out or anything, but we'd love to see a sequel to this movie.
5) Purple Rain- now Prince had this movie made in the 80's when production of black movies had slowed down to an absolute crawl and it was actually a very very very good movie! It's one of my favorites and will always remain one of my faves.
4) Slaughter- Jim Brown's two slaughter movies were really just great movies. Jim Brown was the ultimate Hebrew hero! Another small note; you know that Jim Brown tried first to try an get funding for Prince's Purple Rain through Richard Pryor's company whom he worked for before drug addicted drug addled richie boy pryor (no I didn't like fool) fired him! He lost out on millions being a stupid, ignorant, drug addicted fool!
3)Ssssss- with Dirk Benedict was one of the ultimate science fiction type horror flicks with a scientist turning his daughter's boyfriend into a snake.
2) The Street Fighter- and no I'm not talking about that stupid video game! I'm talking about Sonny Chiba the REAL street fighter! Now Sonny is a real martial artist and the world was deprived of a treat for Sonny Chiba a japanese actor and hong kong superstar Bruce Lee were planning to do a movie together! Bruce Lee died before they could do it and the world lost the greatest teamups that could have ever been!
1) Shaft- now Shaft with Richard Roundtree is the ultimate classic of all movies! There is no other movie that could possibly touch this classic! And something a lot of people don't know; Shaft was written by a white guy. Imagine that!
