I think Foxy Brown is considered iconic.

I remember learning of this film's very existence in that Kid 'n Play movie House Party.  It was apparently a cult favorite in the black community.  It made me want to watch it.House Party

CLASSIC 70's blaxploitation flick. It's one of those movies that's so bad that it's good. The acting is terrible and the editing is even worse, as there are scenes where microphones are in the frame. The fight scenes are also horribly choreographed. But all is not bad. There is plenty of comic value in this flick. Besides all the bad things about the movie being incredibly funny, there's plenty of classic one liners from Dolemite (the late, great Rudy Ray Moore). Definitely worth watching for it's comedy. It's comic value gives it a 2 out of 4 for me.
