Movie Recommendations

Kathy Marcozzi has offered this list of movies
​
that depict black life in a loving and authentic way:
  • Cane River (1982) Written, produced, and directed by the late Emmy Award-winning Horace B. Jenkins, financed by New Orleans' Rhodes family, and crafted by an entirely African American cast and crew - CANE RIVER is a historically informed love story set in Louisiana's Natchitoches Parish, a "free community of color."
  • Tongues Untied (1989) - TONGUES UNTIED was written and directed and narrated by Marton Riggs who with assistance from other gay Black men, especially poet Essex Hemphill, celebrates Black men loving Black men as a revolutionary act.
  • Something Good Negro Kiss (1898) - Something Good – Negro Kiss is a short film from 1898, that was added to the American National Film Registry in 2018. It is believed to be the earliest on-screen kiss involving African Americans and is known for departing from the prevalent and purely stereotypical presentation of racist caricature in popular culture at the time it was made.
  • Losing Ground (1982) - Losing Ground is an amusing but standard menage a trois, set in a small college town. The principle difference between this and other such films is that all the characters are African-American.
