I don't care what anyone says. White Chicks was so stupid it was hilarious. Especially the dance off!

Set it off- the final scenes of Queen Latifah as Cleo when she drives through a haze of bullets

Lesbian bar fight in Foxy Brown

When Daniel Kaluuya falls into the sunken place in “Get Out”

The Soul Glo commercial in “Coming to America”

Yooo that scene in Soul Food with Vanessa? Pure fire. When she went off about the cousin messing with her man? That’s the kind of drama that’s unforgettable, real talk. Vanessa brought the heat, and we were all here for it.

Black movies are full of iconic moments. Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale, setting that car on fire? That’s some boss shit right there. And you can’t forget Queen Latifah in Set It Off, going out guns blazing, like a true G.

Diana Ross in Mahogany? She was serving boss bitch vibes before anyone even knew what that was. Black cinema’s got so many legendary scenes that shaped the culture, but Vanessa flipping out in Soul Food is always gonna be a classic.

That scene in Training Day-" king kong got nothing on me!"

All you do is eat, sleep, and shit!

The scene where Stella got her groove back

r6 yes sir. Though that's not a black movie perse. But it's so iconic and with a black lead and black director it can be serve the purpose of this thread.

r22 Django whips the overseers in Django Unchained. Perhaps you are thinking about that.

Lesbian bar brawl from Foxy Brown

When that Asian cashier tells O-Dog he feels sorry for his mother and fucks around and finds out 😂. I said what I said.

Self hating Stephen nearly had a heart attack after seeing a fellow black man on a horse. Quentin Tarantino is a genius.

Absolutely this...

She deserved an Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy for this hilarity.
