Ed Wood is a movie from 1994 shot in a classic style and is a homage to old Hollywood in a way. It's a unique story about a filmmaker you probably never heard of. We always hear about the success stories but rarely do you get a glimpse into the lives of people who don't quote on quote "make it".

In 1997 Love Jones hit the scene and changed the images if black folks on TV. Instead of gangsters, villains, or downtrodden people on the screen, people got a chance to see how black folks fall in love just like everyone else.
