Thanks for your participation. Take Care.

One great movie missing from your list is "The Liberation of L.B. Jones."
Me, I have a bit of a problem with the word "blaxploitation." Most of these films aren't anywhere near as "exploitative" as some of the white-racist-viewpoint films such as "Birth of a Nation" and, arguably, "Gone With the Wind."
For example, is "In the Heat of the Night" blaxploitation? Most people would say no, if only because it won Best Picture, and probably deservedly so. But ITHOTN has a whole lot of sexual and racial references that would have been completely taboo only a few years earlier. So, where exactly do you draw the line between "In the Heat of the Night" and "Mandingo," which now looks kind of tame compared to a lot of 2000's flicks, and didn't look all that overly dramatic when it was brand new? I know; I remember seeing it way back then, and not being the least bit shocked.
And if it's just a matter of arbitrary taste, is the word "blaxploitation" really of any use, other than as a sort of convenient handle that describes roughly a decade's worth of certain films, far more than it does their content?
