Bamboozled is one of the very best movies ever. It is wonderful, sometimes sweet and other times sad movie. It deals a lot with how we view black people in the entertainment industry and the cooperate world, as well as the stereotypes we expect black people to follow in order to be entertaining and accepted into white media. It stars the Waynes (sp?) brothers.
My favorite black comedy is Pootytang. It is about a crime fighter who is literally too cool for words (has his own words) who stops evil by using his belt.
In this movie, the root of all evil is a middle-aged, rich white man who tries to get kids to drink beer, eat burgers and become nobodies. This movie stars Chris Rock is is one of the funnies things I have ever seen in my life.
p.s. I am white.

I also am not Black, but...
"Rosewood" was phenomenal - true story about a black community in Florida in the 1920's
The Blackboard Jungle - Sidney Poitier as a teenager.
Girl Fight - not Black, but Puerto Rican Urban film, fantastic. (I found it used online for 5.25 - shipping included).
Finding Forrester -
Devil in a Blue Dress

seriously, if you are looking for classics a cabin in the sky, porky and bess, carmen jones, guess who's coming to dinner, shaft, foxy brown, cleopatra jones, etc etc
if you are looking for recent movies, akeelah and the bee, dreamgirls, and an obscure choice mr. and mrs. loving.
