Homage to Blaxploitation with a bad taste in my mouth ::: Pam Grier

There are a list of movies that I had the pleasure of watching growing up. These movies were poor in quality but big in kicks and beauty. The top three that held my attention though were done by Pam Grier. One of the more attractive actresses of her day. IT could not be denied that she was a beauty to battle. As we watch her on the L Word and feel in love with her all over again in Jackie brown. It should not be forgotten that she helped bring some sort of dignity to Black exploitation movies. A quite dignity, with beauty and grace. Except for those sloppy kung fu kicks.

However we are looking a genre of films that began of a successful showing of Sweet Sweetback Badaaaasss song. So Keep in mind much like copy cat studio gangsters, there was an influx of copy cat films, that were filmed in very low quality with the most attractive stars of color they can find that would actually do these films.

I love Pam Grier and yes I support her career, however I will always have a bad taste in my mouth for the low level films that came out of such a genre.
