For Black History Month films and series on THIRTEEN, check out http://thirteen.org/blackhistory. Here are Sam Pollard’s film recommendations.

1) Intruder in the Dust (Clarence Brown). It is one of the first Hollywood films to depict a black character as a strong male figure.

2) No Way Out (Joseph L. Mankiewicz) features Sidney Poitier in his first film. You get a sense of Poitier’s presence, personality and humanity.

3) Odds Against Tomorrow (Robert Wise). Starring Harry Belafonte in one of his most important roles.

4) Nothing But a Man (Michael Roemer). A black couple builds a complex relationship in the 1960s, dealing with racial hostility.

5) The Learning Tree (by Gordon Parks). Pollard was 19 when he saw this nuanced film about a black male growing up in Kansas.

6) Sweet Sweetback’s Badasssss Song (by Melvin Van Peeples). Peeples’ opus to black malehood and one of the most unusual films Pollard has seen.

7) Ganja and Hess (Bill Gunn). Pollard worked on this film as a young apprentice editor. It was a vampire movie about love, lust and blood, made with a European sensibility.

8) Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee). Among Pollard’s favorite scenes are that between Spike Lee and John Turturro’s characters, about who is or isn’t a racist; also, Bill Nunn’s scene about Good and Evil on his tattooed hands, a scene Lee cribbed from Night of the Hunter.

9) Rosewood (John Singleton). An in your face, brutal film. What happens when white anger over black middle class life erupts. Based on an historic incident in 1923 in Florida.

10) Daughters of the Dust (Julie Dash). A lyrical, beautifully paced and visually sumptuous film. It tells a story that has rarely been told on the screen.
