Life
Friday
Undercover Brother
Coming to America
Trading Places
Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2 (don't mention 3 )

Does Guess Who? count? It's not really what I'd call a "black" movie. Hilarious, though.


I think Tyler Perry and Martin Lawrence have disgraced the genre. Martin had a few good ones before he put on the fat suit. Blue Streak was good.

Not really. Y'all are thinking "dark comedy".

I've never heard that genre referred to as "black" comedy.

Black Comedy

quote:

A black comedy (or dark comedy) is a comic work that employs black humor, which, in its most basic definition, is humor that makes light of otherwise serious subject matter.

I've honestly only ever heard of it being called "dark".

I'm not PC. I got called crass last week hanging out with military buddies because dude showed me a picture of his girl's baby and it was obviously mixed so I asked, "Is your girl black?"

I mean...shite. How else do you ask that?

You could try asking it another way: "Cute kid, is your girl's other boyfriend black?"

I enjoy them about as much as I would enjoy a herpes/HIV combo.
