How many of you have watched a movie and literally laughed until you started crying? If the answer is yes, you were probably watching one of the movie titles listed below.
TUD has compiled a list of 10 funny black movies. These movies provide nothing but laughs from beginning to end. Most of the movie titles are comedy but they also display some real life issues. I guess that is what make these movies so hilarious. The thing about black movies, they always seem to be about stereotypes of how black people are in real life. It can be pretty funny when you watch a black movie that makes fun of those stereotypes letting the world know that all black people are not the way we are portrayed in movies.
