Pam Grier will always be beautiful 😍😍
I'm gay and I even find her hot😍😍😍
YES! : )
Chuuch
YES
I’ve met her and she’s also a wonderful person!!! Love her.
How can you talk about Super Fly without mentioning the Curtis Mayfield soundtrack? And Truck Turner should have got an honourable mention.
Duncan Anderson typical WatchMojo negligence... The narrator also didnt mention Isaac Hayes as the artist behind the Shaft soundtrack...
Exactly Curtis did a lot of soundtracks in the 70s! & truck Turner is too underrated. Gr8 movie
Duncan Anderson Right!
@@val9170 Truck Turner has a decent soundtrack as well. ^___^
Black Dynamite is a spoof but rivals some of the best films from the 70s era
HA! I THREW THAT SHIT BEFORE I EVEN WALKED IN THE ROOM!!!!
Anaconda. gives you Whoooooo!
+412_Fly_Guy lol how they gave us the history of Roscoes Chicken & Waffles
Couch Tomato Yeah and the adult swim cartoon is pretty damn good
+stryfetc1 "Euphoria, shut the fuck up! I know that was you! I ain't even gotta look! I should send your ass back to Crenshaw Pete with his hotass coat hangers, bitch. Would you like that?"
Will *Shaft* be number one? You're damned right!!!
When you got that glow.....
It's a bad mothaf-
The intro song for Shaft alone makes the show number one. Can you dig it? Also I think Foxy Brown should've been number 2.
Right on...
I can dig it!
coffy is better than foxy brown in my opinion...and these films had legendary soundtracks
coffy is the color
I can dig it
Coffee is waaaaay better. Foxy Brown just has the more iconic name
Agreed
Shaft is definitely a good choice! I don't know if it is just me but back then those movies felt better than most blockbusters today
Hey there! You a fan of POP MUSIC? Well then be sure to head on over to our sister channel MsMojo (ua-cam.com/users/msmojo) around 3pm EST when they'll be publishing Top 10 Ariana Grande Songs! aw yeah!
sure
+Orlando Cruz I'll check it out
Seems a bit pointless seeing as all her songs are shit...
"Car Wash " can also be considered a blaxplotation movie.
Exactly
Damn right...
Pam Grier was not only beautiful, she was an underrated actress.
Pam Grier. Hotter than the fucking sun.
Solid list, but they forgot to mention one of the biggest features of Superfly - the absolutely fantastic music by Curtis Mayfield.
IMO the best soundtrack for a movie ever
wheres the love for Brother from Another Planet
The Mack will forever be one of my favorites. Goldie was just so smooth
My favorite blaxploitation movie "Live and Let Die"
"The Mack" only getting an honorable mention and not bringing up Superfly's amazing soundtrack... cmon son
This is watchmojo
The Mack should've been number one not an honorable mention
No mention to Curtis Mayfield in Super Fly? One of the greatest soundtrack ever
Man if it was up to me all Pam Grier movies would be in the top 5
i second that yes absolutely pam =awesome she is trully impressive age seems to have never laid its hands on her either she is a fave atress of mine for sure
hahahaha she sure was foxy as hell
She had/has screen presence like few actors do. Hell of a talent.
Yea its not fair
I have never seen any of these films but they look bloody fantastic! Definitely going to seek them out
Last time I was this early, Watchmojo made a list on sandwiches
1
I remember that list
+sneakydog101 what
I was raised on these films ...Saw most of them in the theatre as a child in the 70s. The heroes looked like me and the men in my family and that was very,very profound as a young Black Man to see and experience this...The 60s into the 70s We Black people were at our Cultural, Political and Artistic height... Especially the Music that was the Soundtracks to most of these films.. That’s why I have come terms that this era of film is not “Blaxploitation..”But “The Soul Renaissance “era... Can You Dig it... If you can...Then Let it Be Dug....
That's right, it was profound, and it was conditioning you, just like media conditions people today, now look at us all. . . this was evil, and it was subversive.
@@EQOAnostalgia May Allah's Blessing be with you and your Family..
The Mack should've been on this list. I know it was an honorable mention, but it's a classic for the genre.
Max Julian was fantastic
Pam Grier was one of my first TV crushes as a young kid. Then I seen Thelma on good times and it was jungle fever for life
2 GLARING omissions, either of which could be ranked #1 on this list are 'The Mack' and 'Willie Dynamite.' If you're getting into blaxploitation, these 2 are must watch!
How are these a "must watch" in the genre? They're not foundations of the genre like Shaft, Superfly or Sweet Sweetback. Willie Dynamite was pretty decent, though - one of the better ones. But the Mack was terrible - it was exactly like the rest, recycled in every way, boring as hell (I even skipped thru some of the scenes, it was unwatchable) and as cheap as most of the other ones. It blurs in with the rest. And Goldie was boring - Max Julien is not really leading man material. He felt kind of cardboard and doesn't have the charisma of Richard Roundtree or Roscoe Orman or Pam Grier, etc. He was pretty forgettable. Fuck the Mack. What a waste of time. Everything about it was standard, by the book, and disposable.
Jds revenge too
My Top Five: 1.) Shaft
2.) Coffy
3.) Trouble Man
4.) The Mack (how could you?😱)
5.) Superfly
Cool but I feel like one black movie that they could have put as an honorable mention is Richard Pryor's which way is up.
Throw in black belt jones as well
Three the Hard Way is a classic blaxploitation flick as well.
The lack of J.D.'s Revenge is just...I can't.
Cotten comes to Harlem anyone?.... just me.
Teague Hall l saw that one . With that fine BLACK Beauty Judy Pace oh yeah check it out if you could it's somewhere on UA-cam
Yes
What about "Come Back Charleston Blue"?
Indeed
"'Coming up 'Blacula'. Followed by 'Blackenstine'. And next up 'The Blunchblack of Blotre Blame!"
that's Bloodsploitation.
I see what you did there..
The Blackadook was a good modern film
Love me some Eggs Blackenstine!
Watch Mojo uses the word titular sooooo much.
F & G
They find it titillating.
The Mack should have been in the top 3
They should do the top bruceploitation movies, grew up watching those movies, however I didn’t know the extent of them.
Black Mama, White Mama should be number one for the shower scenes alone.
BIMMOM that was more of a Woman in prison film, which is the genre Pam got her start in with Big Doll House for Roger Corman, than Blaxsploitation.
ACROSS 110th STREET: blaxploitation or not == a great film !!
Where's WILLIE DYNAMITE?
Alot of people are getting the wrong end of a very long stick. Blaxsplotation actually falls under explotation films which included sexplotation and carsploitation plus a whole lot more. Explotation movies are just films which attempts to succeed financially by exploiting current trends, niche genres, or lurid content. Exploitation films are generally low-quality "B movies".
Go to hell💥💥💥💥💥
those movies made hollywood money while the a list movies were failling at the box office
I'm probably late to the party but I'm trying to binge on blaxploitation movies these days, anything with Pam Grier's name on it will do!
I've been waiting for this list for literally years
My Top 10 would be1. The Mack2. Superfly3. Coffy4. Shaft5. Black Cesar6. Across 110th Street7. Foxy Brown8. Hit Man(Starring Bernie Casey)9. Shaft's Big Score10. Dolemite
Other honorable mentions are Bucktown, Three The Hard Way, Friday Foster & Sheila Baby(both with Pam Grier).
Sheba, Baby.
Even though its half Blaxploitation i think Djangl Unchained and Live and Let Die should be on this list
that funky style "the metters" or Issac Hayes music is awesome :)
Fun fact: Black Belt Jones was the inspiration behind Black Dynamite because the character is largely the same archetype (i.e. weird shouting when doing his moves, caring to a fault, etc.)
Actually, it was a direct spoof on Four The Hard Way. Jim Kelly was in that movie. Its a great movie if you ever have the chance to see it.
@@projectarchivist9085 Three the Hard Way*
This list was good ,BUT Willie Dynamite and THE MACK should have been on it for sure and like other people said Superfly had one of the GREATEST soundtracks of ALL TIME by Curtis Mayfield.😀
Idk much about blaxploitation but these films' scores are gold.
i love how this guy cant pronounce dolemite
I'd seen nearly all the the Blacksploitation movies on this list thanks to home video. One film I hadn't yet seen (which stars the Dolemite lead actor) is Petey Wheatstraw: the Devil's Son-in-Law.
Willie Dynamite should've been mentioned
Cleopatra Jones was the best of them all and one of my favorite all-time drive-in movies. Can you dig it baby!
My mom told me in the 70s she saw every black film. I've only saw a few like Shaft, Foxxy Brown, Super Fly & that black vampire film.
If you liked some of the intro songs in the video, get yourself a copy of a CD called "Badmutha's: 18 Original Black Movie Hits". In a lot of cases, the soundtracks for these movies are way better than the movies themselves. (Side note, Superfly's sound track made more money than the movie did, and is rightly considered a classic).
My favorite is Foxy Brown, I just love that film. My Second favorite is Sugar Hill 1974. Its a revenge film like Foxy Brown only with Zombies. Its a really strong film and should have been on the list instead of Blackula.
Also Roger Moore, James Bond, Live and Let Die. Sure it has a white lead, but to me, in many ways its a blaxploitation film. Also one of the best Bond films of all time.
This one is an homage to the the films. It might be because Michael Jai White a hero of mine, and I got to meet him earlier this year, but, I love Black Dynamite. Could also be because I love Salli Richardson.
Didn't mention that Sweet Sweetback was THE FIRST of the genre!
After watching this list im probably going to check out most of these, thanks.
Fun list. It takes me back. However, I think the term 'blaxploitation' should be retired. I tend to use the term 'soul cinema', which feels better and more accurate to me. I was a movie-going teen at the time and these films didn't come across as exploitation; certainly no more than Hollywood normally takes advantage of a moneymaking trend. As far as I can tell, the martial arts genre, which followed, hasn't been saddled with the "exploitation" title; nor the disco phase, which followed that, and so on, and so on.
this is my fourth viewing of a top-10 blaxploitation list in the last few weeks. the inconsistency is remarkable. the last list i saw had "the mack" at #1. it's get honorable mention in this countdown. another video didn't even mention "blacula" but it's #4 in this countdown. go figure.
great list!! do you have any suggestions of blackspoltaion movies that are not on the list?
Black Belt Jones was awesome!!!! Should have made the list and not just an honorable mention!
Quit telling them how to run their list. Make your own video then.
What about Mandingo?
Ken Norton killed it
The Mack is the most artistically important blaxploitation film.
Y'all Forgot My Favorites "Hitman, the Spook Who Sat By the Door, Hell Up in Harlem, Human Tornado and the Last Blaxploition Movie "Pentitentiary"
I think the first Blaxploitation movie to use martial arts was "MELINDA" (1972). Cleopatra Jones came out in 1973
Before watching, I'm guesstimating:
#1 Shaft
#2 Blacula
#3 The Mack
And foxy brown
Damn I was close. Forgot about Super Fly
I love blackula so much
I love blackula so much
Looks like you were close.
last time I came this early my girlfriend left me :(
last time I came this early I had to start paying child support.
+coffeeblak86 lol
rest in peace
Last time my dad left me, he's black
+Loej - L
This came out on my birthday and I couldn't be more happy!
Truck Turner is one that should’ve gotten an honorable mention.❤
Hell up in Harlem is golden
There’s gonna be war like you never seen before
Blacula is my favourite of the list. Ironically it's also the only horror film to show the Dracula character as he's actually described in the Stoker novel! (long gray hair and a moustache and dressed in black with no speck of colour). Interestingly Charles Macauly also played Dracula in an episode of Night Gallery. I would say Coffey is my second favourite (I have yet to see the sequel Foxy Brown). I can see that the film Jackie Brown was heavily inspired by Coffey! I was very surprised by how much! Even to the extent of hiring the leading lady!
I suggested this list to watch mojo this is so awesome!!! But "The Mack" should've been in the top three.
I would have liked to have seen an honorable mention for the movie "Hit Man" with Bernie Casie.
Pam Grier was so fine.. Oh my gawd 😍🔥👌🏾
Didn't mentioned the really first: Cotton Comes to Harlem (Ossie Davis, 1970)
TRUE!
Great list with all classics.
My favorite Blaxploitation movie is Sugar Hill. That movie is this interesting combination of Foxy Brown, voodoo zombie films (movies like White Zombie). It's just so fun to watch.
"Dynamite, DYNAMITE!"
the mack is top 3 with superfly and shaft.
Lee Tao Dana I would say it's top four Mack, Shaft, Superfly and Cotton comes to Harlem
Lee Tao Dana Facts
This list is remarquable, and I've seen most of this movies. But personally I would rank Coffy N°2 and JACKIE BROWN N°1.
Those were some interesting titles. Did see the Coffy one though never was really into Super Fly.
Next do a Bruceploitation list
After his death in 73, you could call all Kung fu movies from 74-80 Brucepoitation...
What, Black Dynamite didn't make the list? And no, I'm not talking about the "Adult Swim" animated series. Not all blaxploitation movies had to be made in the '70s.
black dynamite was a parody
Chris Walker Parody of what? So if a movie like that is a comedy, it's a parody? It's not exactly The Naked Gun.
+supercyberfunk a parody of all these films. just like naked gun is parody of cop movies.
shiiiiiit, look at the seen from coffy in this list. look familiar?
"NOT THE ORPHANS!"
Cotton Comes To Harlem, Slaughter, Truck Turner, Three The Hard Way, and Cooley High are on my top 10. I'd keep Foxy Brown, Coffy, Superfly, Shaft, and Across 110 Street.
I like Blacula. I might have to put Cooley High 11.
I finally understood why Shawn Wayans made that joke in one of his episodes, "who does she think she is, Foxy Brown"
saw every one when they were released
There seems to be some confusion. The "exploitation" genre of movies are just movies that exploit a current trend, usually cheaply made and quickly put together. The term "blaxploitation" is just a term used for movies in the exploitation genre that feature a mostly black cast aimed at a black audience. The word "exploitation" in this case has nothing to do with capitalizing on the exploitation of black people or use of stereotypes. Although that was a different issue in and of itself.
As long as Coffy, Blacula, and Shaft are on this list, I'm satisfied lol
How did i know Shaft was going to be number one. That is everyone's typical go to movie when talking of this topic. Just like everyone claim Biggie or Tupac is their number one rapper.
Tried finding Chinese and Japanese exploitation film. . . all I got was porno links
Uhhh old kung fung movies with Bruce Li and Jackie Chan...you were not looking good enough.
bravo
Majokko Aura Yeah. . . the entire first page were of porno link didn't feel like getting any deeper
They definitely out there.
There's a genre called Brucesploitation.
Comment section bout to be heated.
what for?
I've simply lost interest at this point.
Doesn’t Django Unchained count? I know I’m 2 years late but that film was incredible
I've seen all of these films listed, and none is nearly as good as "Truck Turner" with Isaac Hayes, which didn't even make the list. Great action, camerawork, dialogue, music..everything you need from the genre. "Truck Turner" is the best Blaxploitation movie ever, and it's not even close.
Great list but given the amount of cultural impact "The Mack" had on a generation of Black boys (unfortunately IMHO) it should be easily top 3.
What was the impact of the Mack? It's indistinguishable from any other of these movies.
Cue all the comments from people not knowing anything about the grindhouse genre.
Every film on this list is a winner, too bad that it wasn't a Top 50 list!!
10:39 - 10:44 man, this dude came straight out of a comic book.
uptown saturday night withbill cosby and sidney poitier
That one was on the same plane as Across 110th Street. It attracted white audiences when it was shown in white neighborhoods.
It wouldn't have grabbed any white audience had it had a lower budget and with lesser names in the lead roles.
My #1 Coffy "hope you like your coffee...Black & Bold" man I "love me some" Pam Grier 😍 ay vida mia...que dulce mami 😎
What, how is 'Car Wash', 'Uptown Saturday Night' and 'The Harder they Come' not number one, two, three!?
Willie Dynamite is underrated. The Mack should be on the list too.
Blacula is an American cult classic
*_Danm Watchmojo is there a Top 10 you haven't done yet?_*
Yes. Every films is based on this ethnic of All-African Americans. Loved it! : )
"My body is okay." "It's magnificent!"
