Other black actors/comedians I admire...

You listed more "blacktors" there than the number of movies I've attended in the past 40 years!

I usually wait until they hit the small screen.

I've only seen some of those I listed on the small screen, like most of the comedians except for Will Smith, Latifah, LL Cool J, Arsenio Hall and Eddie Murphy, who have all been featured on the big screen. Just don't ask me for a list of white actors/comedians I have seen or we'll be here until the middle of next week.

For years, I went to the movie theater 2-3 times a month, rented dozens of movies and watched movies on TV (up to 100 movies per year) until the past couple of years, when practically every one contains some kind of filth or Marxism. Now I see a maybe 10 to 20 carefully selected movies a year. (I have always read and studied books, too.)

Before the days of rapid video rental, I had been known to go to the theater three to five times to see a particularly appealing film again and again. Two I can think of I did that for were Cinema Paradiso and O Brother Where Art Thou (of which I also have the DVD, the CD of the soundtrack, and a DVD of a live concert of its soundtrack). I'm living on the wrong coast.

The young people have it so easy... We had to walk miles through the snow to get to the movies... LOL!
