In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

We're literally shuffling off to Buffalo this week to discuss this under-appreciated feel-good gem featuring the unbelievably charming Liza Minelli wringing out the rag as queen Mavis Turner. And she's accompanied by so many names we love like Andrea Martin, Jane Krakowski, Bill Irwin, Ellen Green and Shelley Winters! To say nothing of a show-stealing performance from Sheila McCarthy (cue a necessary tangent to 1996's "House Arrest" in which she is also featured in an ensemble of greats!), BAFTA BSA nominee Julie Walters, original Broadway cast member Carol Woods, and the incredibly familiar looking Robyn Stevan. Plus: Nora Dunn in a track suit! We swooned, we cried, we'll probably both buy this movie and put it on in the background while we're cooking.
