I am watching 5 Flights Up now and I am enjoying it. It is quite realistic in terms of the reality of just trying to live in this world. The relationship between Morgan Freeman(he is executive producer)and Diane Keating was really and Brooklyn, New York serves as the perfect setting. Great performances by all in the film.
Got to see that flick myself. I thought it was just set in current time instead of flashbacks. Saw Slaughter myself and enjoyed it. Hope to see that again.
Never knew this all these years, but Hercules (1983) with Lou Ferrigno has an IR couple in it where the King Of Africa apparently had a white wife?
You should also check out The Long Ships starring Richard Widmark, Russia Tamblyn and Sidney Poirier. Sidney played a Moorish king who has a white wife(one of several).
That was probably the third film that Sidney and Richard had worked in. They would be in the film The Henderson Incident. The first was No Way Out in 195?. The Long Ships was filmed on location in a fjord in Norway. What I love most about the film was the music by composers Dusan Radic. It was a great score.
I'm going to have to read this thread from the beginning lol And then plan on seeing everyone of these movies I can find.
Start with Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, A Patch Of Blue(Sidney. Need I say more?), Slaughter, Shaft and Shaft In Africa(Shaft beds a white woman in both films), Rudy Ray Moore's Dolemite and The Human Tornado, Bird (Forest Whitaker as Charlie "Yardbird" Parker) and Valentine's Day(with Mario Van Peebles). For starters. Enjoy.
I remember a old TV movie White Lie starring Gregory Hines and Annette O'Toole. Great IR scenes and also another tv movie Passion and Prejudice starring Frances Fisher.
I saw Love The Coopers and I was dissappointed that the writers made Mr.Mackie the man who played the cop gay. I wished he had a relationship with Marisa Tomei's character since she has no man.
I saw that film. The scene when Gregory Hines and Annette O'Toole kiss as the cars pass by was classic.
