Are these not the best films ever made? Superfly, The Mack, Return of the Disco Godfather, Cotton Comes to Harlem...need I say more?

    One of the great classics of the genre, Willie Dynamite, has been making the digital cable rounds. Watch for it! You'll recognize the titular character as being none other than Sesame Street's "Gordon" (though not the first one, who recently died.)

    I was happy to see Superfly is finally on DVD, but then sad to hear that Ron O'neil died last month of cancer. :(

    also, Truck Turner is a fine film worth mentioning.
