Superfly
One of the most successful blaxploitation films ever made, with a blistering soundtrack by Soul legend Curtis Mayfield, 'Superfly' follows charismatic, big-time Harlem cocaine dealer Youngblood Priest (Ron O'Neal) who drives expensive cars, keeps a downtown white woman, and plans one last big score to escape his life of violence. But when corrupt cops working for the Mob learn of his plan, they try to make Priest a partner rather than arrest him. Now, can Priest outwit the street, the mob and the cops to win his freedom? Director Gordon Parks Jr, was the son of Gordon Parks who directed the other legendary blaxploitation film 'Shaft'. 'Superfly' was the first of only four films to be directed by Gordon Parks Jr before his untimely death in a plane crash in 1979.
