Friday Foster (1975)

Pam Grier is glorious headlining these Blaxploitation films. Here she is the title character, a former model turned photographer who witnesses an assassination attempt on Thalmus Rasulala, the richest Black man in America. After a friend is stabbed to death, she teams up with an equally wonderful Yaphet Kotto to uncover a political conspiracy. It’s a rather fun flick that gets bonus points for including a conspiracy to bring down Black leadership in the country. It also has a great supporting cast including Ted Lange, Carl Weathers, Scatman Corothers, and the ever magnificent Eartha Kitt as an over-the-top fashion designer.
