Good list. Like you I wasn't aware of many of them but that's not the first time critics have mentioned just how rare it is to see "normal" black family life in Second Coming.
I watched My Brother the Devil last night but if falls firmly into the inner city drama category which I'm guessing a lot of people might label as a "gang film". It was pretty good with a lot going on but the presence of Said Taghmaoui made it hard not to think about La Haine and what an impact that movie made.
