Yeah Soul Plane was gag-worthy. One I always hear about but have never seen is Love&Basketball
Saw a preview for that before watching The Whitest Movie Ever (Mission Impossible 2.) Lots of laughing.
No love for Spike

I'm not watching it. Finishing this work for first semester right now.
It has Brandy, looking mighty good I might add.
That's my SHOW! =p
What game?
Is there any movie or tv show that has a Black protagonist that has special abilities, powers or something in sci-fi without being a cliche Black comedy ala Pluto Nash?

Glad to see you back man.
Watch this movie.
Yes, listen to this guy. Great movie, forgot to mention this. Fresh is definitely top 10 hood classics. Unfortunately it was taken off of netflix a few weeks ago.

Welcome back! SmokyDave is wise.

Watch this movie.
Love this movie. Oh and New Jack City.
"SIT your five dollar ass down fore I make change!!"
LMAO, never gets old.
Fresh deserves attention for managing to make the gorgeous N'bushe Wright look homely. That's a feat.

People in this thread that need to join realpic GAF:
Dominokid
Satchwar
MWS (not anymore)
What is the point of this realpic thing again? Haven't went into the thread.
On a previous topic. I went to Morehouse and while HBCUs aren't for everyone I wouldn't stop recommending a quality one (Morehouse, Spelman, Howard) to anyone. I would not have had the same experience if I went to a larger university.

Real Pic January is just to use your real picture as an avatar in January. It's...interesting. I'm doing it. It's nice to see my Negro-Age people rocking their real faces, lol.
Also, re: HBCUs, my cousin went to one (Howard) and it was a great experience for her. I didn't want to do it back when I was younger, but in hindsight I probably would've loved it there if I went. I would recommend it.
Finally, re: black movies...could The Last Dragon count? Because if it does, I'm gonna ride with that.

Tales From the Hood was scary, but I was also a kid when I saw it, and I was only really scared because of the ending.

Done!
Haha, I first saw that as a kid, too. The ending....more than unsettling >_<
Also, remember the dolls part? Remember when the guy looked at the picture and all the dolls were gone????. Oh GOD X_X
The dolls was the scariest of the stories. The others were ridiculous, even to me as a kid.
While on the subject anyone watching Red Tails when it gets released? I feel almost compelled to watch it as an aviation buff, and I have a great respect for the Tuskegee airmen, but that movie is seriously probably going to suck all kinds of ass.....so I'll probably just rent it when it hits dvd.

Anyone else remember "Juice?" That movie was pretty good, except for the last line which was corny as fuck.

Boyz is a lot more melodramatic and Menace is bleak as fuck but I'm not sure if I'd call one better than the other. They can co-exist, they're different enough.

Yo, I got ALL THE JUICE. Seriously, Tupac was fucking crazy in that movie.
Now I know how Will Smith felt when he sang "I Wish I Made That."

It's the bleak and darker tone of Menace that left more of an impact with me though,especially the last scene in Menace (Seeing Cain's body get riddle with bullets while trying to protect Anthony is haunting for me ).Both are excellent films though, and I suppose you're right in saying they're different enough to co-exist.

Menace is more raw, not nearly as polished a film as Boyz n' da Hood, but I think that's a big part of its charm.
What I learned from both films is to NEVER eat burgers at 2 o' clock in the morning. Dudes will come up and smoke your ass for something you forgot you did.

and if you feel like doing something stupid with your gangsta friends, don't. You'll only regret it. Listen to your damn parents once in awhile.

Burger spots or any kind of fastfood with outside seating invites SOOO much trouble late at night, it's weird.
Put up 4 walls and a roof and people can eat and sober up with greasy food, but leave benches and tables outside and something is bound to go down. It's bad neighborhood science. Hell, parks at night are nothing to mess around with either.
Benches + open air = protect ya neck.
