An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate. Our mission at Blax-Pride is to educate those who are unfamiliar with this era and combine knowledge with those who are familiar.
Also you will notice Kung Fu movies on this site as well. What does this have to do with Blaxploitation? Well, the more action packed Blaxploitation films did not just street fight. Oh no.....they thought they were Kung Fu Masters. Chinese martial art movies gave a sense of invincibility to these actors. Seeing how cool it was to be a masterful fighter, why not just integrate this with Pimpin', Hustlin', Jive Talkin' and Pam Grier? Blax-Pride!!!

Classic....One of my harlem Classics!
Great flick. Thanks!
Good Looking Out. I love this movie.
I caught this last year on TCM and really enjoyed it.
A few weeks later I was on a Jet Blue flight to NYC and saw Diahann Carroll (looking every inch the glam diva ofcourse).
I tapped her gently on shoulder while she was stretching her legs and walking up the aisle and told her that I was a big fan recently enjoyed watching 'Claudine'. 'It was great', I told her.
She said "thank you" and very gracious.
Thanks a lot for this movie. I've been looking for this for long time.
