Interesting list. No way Foxy Brown (3) should be rated higher than Coffy
(14), since, as the authors' note, Coffy is the debut of the most famous twos
of the '70s.

Sweetback was first, Shaft was second. Both are some of the most important
films in the black exploitation period. Sweetback originally had an X
rating. Which was given to force it to be shown to an adult only audience.

It depends on how you look at the film. Do you look at it as a movie or do

That's my thinking as well. And wasn't Shaft originally supposed to be a
white man? I do like that it was directed by incredibly talented photographer,
the late Gordon Parks. I guess that Shaft may be more well known to the main
