Superfly (1972) -- (Movie Clip) Pusherman Cruising Harlem in star Ron O’Neal’s famous customized Cadillac Eldorado, with partner Eddie (Carl Lee) entering a restaurant where composer Curtis Mayfield, whose soundtrack made even more money than the movie, probably wouldn’t have played, is performing, in director Gordon Parks Jr.’s Superfly, 1972.

Superfly (1972) -- (Movie Clip) Little Child Runnin' Wild The opening shot minus one from director Gordon Parks Jr., with one of the better-known songs from the smash Curtis Mayfield soundtrack, tracking two users through Harlem before we meet Ron O’Neal as dealer Priest, the nickname derived from his gold coke spoon, in Superfly, 1972.

Superfly (1972) -- (Movie Clip) Before Somebody Ices Me Harlem cocaine dealer Priest (Ron O’Neal) visits his partner Eddie (Carl Lee) and explains his complex scheme to get out of the business while they’re still young, with drug use and plenty of rough language, early in director Gordon Parks Jr.’s Superfly, 1972.

Thomasine And Bushrod (1974) -- (Movie Clip) Been Doin' This Long? After an opening in which she shot a guy on the open range without apparent reason, in 1911 Texas, Vonetta McGee (1st title character) clears things up, with Dodson (Herb Robins) her mark and marshal Bogardie (George Murdock) paying out, in Gordon Parks Jr.'s Thomasine And Bushrod, 1974.

Thomasine And Bushrod (1974) -- (Movie Clip) She Said She Was Your Wife Screenwriter and 2nd title character Max Julien grills a gambler and dealer (Dave Burleson, John Gill) about two lynched black youths he found on the way into town, then hears that his fellow title character (Vonetta McGee) awaits, in Gordon Parks Jr.'s Thomasine And Bushrod, 1974.

Aaron Loves Angela (1975) -- (Movie Clip) Jose Feliciano Maybe not plausible that Jose Feliciano would play such a small venue in Spanish Harlem, with an original tune, but teens Kevin Hooks and Irene Cara (title characters), his pal (Leon Pinkney) backing him up, have serious business to discuss, in Gordon Parks Jr.'s Aaron Loves Angela, 1975.

Aaron Loves Angela (1975) -- (Movie Clip) Too Much Like My Old Man Pal Willie (Leon Pinkney) has not only broken in at Coney Island but also turned on the merry-go-round, good fun for mutually-attracted African American and Latin teens Kevin Hooks and Irene Cara (title characters), getting to know each other, in Gordon Parks Jr.'s Aaron Loves Angela, 1975.
