The Wiz (1978)
Great film
This film is great. I recommend all with an open mind to other cultures to see it. Great singing, great cast, great alternate story to the original, and the Oz palace dance scene is unforgettable. While the original Wizard of Oz incorporates much white culture into it's theme, this movie does the same but for African Americans. It's become a cult classic among African Americans, along with other great films such as Five Heartbeats, Boyz in the Hood, The Temptations, School Daze, and Do the Right Thing. It was originally a Broadway musical with Stephanie Mills as Dorothy, and I think Mills would have been a better fit for the role of Dorothy. The only users who have ranked this film low are white, who lack both the respect and understanding of black culture.
Pimp My Ride (2004)
Best fixer-upper show on TV
you people always have something to gripe about. take the stick out your backside. xzibit is a great host. he has the personality to match the leitmotiv of the show. very likable guy. they go through a very extensive process of selecting the most needy individuals. a previous individual on here stated a lot of the do-dads are unnecessary, and i think that is a biased statement. when you compare the salvageness (lol) of these cars prior to the pimping against the finished product, well, you do the math. i particularly like the ice cream truck. i'm sure this will boost the man's profits. i believe most of the pimped customers are college students who, most times, can't afford much more than a pack of ramen noodles. there are other shows that waste money on individuals who can very well make the modifications themselves. pimp my ride serves a different purpose. Great show
