Superfly (1972)

Super Fly is a cocaine dealer who begins to realize that his life will soon end with either prison or his death. He decides to build an escape from the life by making his biggest deal yet, converting the coke to cash and running off to start a new life. The problem is that the Mob does not have a retirement plan and will give him a choice of staying and selling for them or dying if they find out his intentions.

This film has inspired many a Hiphop video and Curtis Mayfield's score has been sampled almost as many times as James Brown. Superfly is what it says in the title and remains one of the coolest films out there.
