what do you mean by "black comedy"?
usually the term "black comedy" is used to mean "dark comedy"....or a comedy in which the humor is dark, edgy, sometimes taboo.
but based on the films you mention, it seems like you might mean "black comedy" to mean a comedy with predominantly black people in them?

which are you asking for?

I think Friday, Rush Hour, and Scary Movie is pretty good.

Using proper spelling and grammar would probably get you pretty far.

Hey... You asked!

and lastly, wat does it mean when someone says that a movie is a "sleeper hit?"
A "sleeper" is a movie that is not expected to make very much money, but becomes a surprise success.

Just a suggestion, but don't separate your comedies by who's in them, whether they are black or white.

And only use the term 'black comedy' if you are refering to a dark comedy, I suggest Grosse Point Blank.

by the way, there is nothing wrong with buying I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, because it is probably the only funny movie that any of the Wayans Brothers have made.
