Black Movies

When it comes to Black movies, Tyler Perry tried his best but the voters decided I Can Do Bad All By Myself, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Daddy’s Little Girls, and Why Did I Get Married were just honorable mentions. Which, understandable when put up against classics that range from the mind of Spike Lee to the fictional world to good to be true. With that said, after over 100 movies were put to a public vote via a Mass-Debaters bracket, the results were taken and now these are the top 100 best Black Movies as presented by the I Did Not Make These Rankings Podcast Network

Socially awkward in most situations most 25 years olds would call easy, that’s me. TV is my soul mate, Music is my mistress and writing is my best friend. Without those three things, I’d be in an insane asylum calling myself Rosa Parks, refusing to sit in the back of the so called bus. I know more about pop culture and celebrities than I do about my family history, and I’d like to keep it that way. Words I live by: We´re all tiny books in one big compilation called life. Some of us will wait for what seems like forever for our climactic part to come. Others will have a romance novel their entire life. Or maybe one filled with just adventure. Or one that is a poetic tragedy. Then, there are those that will have best sellers. You know, the ones that everyone wants to read and base their versions on? Don´t forget the little paperbacks sold at the carwash that only a select few will ever lay eyes on. We´re all born with the power to either take what was written for us or choose our own adventures.
