Shaft: Directed by Gordon Parks. With Richard Roundtree, Moses Gunn, Charles Cioffi, Christopher St. John. Cool black private eye John Shaft is hired by a crime lord to find and retrieve his kidnapped daughter.
“I can. Because this is not only the greatest black-exploitation film ever, but also one of the best films of the 70u0026#39;s era. Richard Roundtree brings out Ernest Tidymanu0026#39;s John Shaft like no one else can (not even Samuel L. Jackson in the new shaft can compete) as the ultimate bad-a** who must investigate a kidnapping. One of the most memorable films ever made, especially by the Oscar winning song (and nominated score) by Isaac Hayes, which made his breakthrough as his funk thing grew. A+”
