Across 110th Street is one of the best films ever made,not just within the Blaxploitation genre. Other's I'd recommend are; BLACULA SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM FOXY BROWN SUPERFLY SHAFT COFFY BIG DOLL HOUSE FRIDAY FOSTER SHAFT IN AFRICA JD'S REVENGE Not so hot; ABBY (To be fair,a SHIT quality dvd spoiled the experience). SHAFT'S BIG SCORE Not watched yet; BLACKENSTEIN DR BLACK MR HYDE

Lots of great, great movies have already been mentioned. My favourite director has to be the mighty Jamaa Fanaka, his movies are mindbendingly crazy and have to be checked out. Def try and see Soul Vengeance (aka Welcome Home Brother Charles) and Penitentiary 1 & 2 (I'm sure Penitentiary 3 is awesome too but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet!). Soul Vengeance is a rape revenge movie and the Penitentiary movies are prison boxing flicks. All highly recommended for any fan of psychotronic cinema!

| Penitentiary came as a freebie cover DVD with the latest issue of DVD And Blu-Ray World. I have yet to check the copy out though.  |

I hope Code Red will finally be releasing The Black Gestapo soon! Seems there's a trailer on their newer discs... They've also recently released two Fred Williamson's: Death Journey and Mean Johnny Barrows. |

Got the MJB and DJ DVDs and they do sound promising releases. Just haven't checked 'em out yet. Typical me! I wouldn't mind seeing The Big Score on DVD among a few other Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson offerings such as The Messenger and Fox Trap. I still prefer the actor's '70s blaxploitation movies though. Out of all the Williamson titles i've seen his A.I.P. stuff remains most enjoyable to yours truly. Black Ceasar, Hell Up In Harlem and Bucktown are all worthy of repeated viewings. As is the great Three The Hard Way. Imo the blaxploitation legend delivers a solid performance in Bill Lustig's wonderful Vigilante too. |
