Across 110th Street for me. In addition to boasting a killer title track by Bobby Womack, it seems to have a bit more on it's mind than the other blaxploitation films, and the lead performances by Kotto and Quinn are excellent. For sheer entertainment value, however, it's tough to beat Rudy Ray Moore rhymin' and kickin' in Dolemite.

Ralph Bakshi's 'Coonskin' (PC revised title: 'Street Fight')

Across 110th Street really isn't blaxploitation to me. But it IS one hell of a great crime movie. Way underrated.

I love the genre so much that I can't decide on a favorite. I guess it depends on the mood I'm in.

But this one seems to always have a slight edge over everything else

Good call, although I've pretty much given up hope of seeing this get a legit release.

Dolemite & Human Tornado period.

"Replay Mother#@&^*!"

Coffy.

As much as I love Dolemite, "The Human Tornaduh!" packs more insanity!

*dances down steps in a gaudy suit*

yeah, I agree, I'm going to get my friend to convert my VHS copy to DVD-R

is that on DVD Geofferson?

Excellent poll!
After all my years visiting DVDTALK why didn't I think of this.
I picked SUPERFLY.
For the soundtrack and acting from the star.
BLACK BELT JONES and THREE THE HARD WAY are my runner ups.

Blacula

Coffy. Love it. Perfect example of the genre, of which I am a big fan. I also gotta give some love for Truck Turner!

You can't get any better than Coffy in my opinion, but Superfly and Truck Turner are right up there.

Coffy is great, but I like Foxy Brown just a little more. I actually saw a screening of it years ago with Pam Grier in attendance. Such a fun movie.

spoilered for size and since the title is somewhat un pc

Coffy

I like J.D's Revenge.

followed by Across 110th Street.

Best overall:
Truck Turner
Action, drama, comedy, the kicking of cracker ass; Truck Turner's got it all.

Bonus: Nichelle Nichols in Trek Turner:


Most violent and yet quotable:
Black Caesar
"It's a jungle..."


Best drama:
Cornbread, Earl and Me
If you don't tear up when (obvious spoiler) - then you're probably The Man.


Best soundtrack:
Trouble Man
The movie itself doesn't quite live up to Marvin Gaye's music.


Best WTFness:
Welcome Home, Brother Charles (b/k/a Soul Vengeance)
A brother gets his revenge on The Man by strangling him with his serpentine penis.


(Most trailers feature censored language, but may still be considered NSFW)

Live And Let Die

Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks?

Coffy, bar none. But I enjoy most of Griers film anyway. Great soundrack too!
