Sir--
I most respectfully disagree.
Across 110th Street (1973),
Truck Turner (1974),
Uptown Saturday Night (1974), and
Let's Do It Again (1975), held their own against non-blaxploitation films of that decade and remain entertaining.
Also, while
The Wiz (1978) was about as dreadful a movie as one could see that decade (and that's saying something if you suffered through
Game of Death or
TGIF), it will be remembered as a film of great historical significance. It was during the production of that piece of garbage that Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson began their creative partnership that would revitalize the music industry and change American popular culture.
My two cents.
