What are the best movies/series with main black characters in your opinion?
zalrb answered:
Some of these are movies that I think are brilliant movies and some of them are just fun and they’re, like, 99% African American so it’s a goal of mine to look at different movies/shows from different countries.
Moonlight
If Beale Street Could Talk
Fences
Do The Right Thing
Love & Basketball
Black Panther
Boyz N The Hood (there is problematic treatment of black women)
