Everyone has either a Top 5 or a Top 10. Well I have to be different, so I will be doing Top-4 topics! I'm starting off with my Top 4 African-American Stand-Up Comedy Movies of All Time. This should be interesting since there are hundreds that have been made. However, only a few really stand up to the test of time. Only a few can still make you laugh after watching it hundreds of times. I'm sure this will be a contraversial topic, as well as any other Top 4 posts I'll be coming up with! Anyways, here it is. (Note: I only chose movies that were released in theaters. Sorry, no straight-to-DVDs on this list!)
4. Richard Pryor - Live In Concert(1979): Richard Pryor set the standard. I will let this clip do the talking.
Buy Richard Pryor - Live in Concert from Amazon!
3. The Original Kings of Comedy: First of all, RIP Bernie Mac. Second of all, this was a hilarious show. Steve Harvey did an excellent job with keeping the show moving, especially with his Titanic skit. Hate on D.L. Hughley all you want, but the guy was ridiculously funny. Cedric the Entertainer did his part, and Bernie Mac did one hell of a finishing show. I can still pop this DVD in and laugh as if it was the first time I ever saw it.
Buy The Original Kings of Comedy from Amazon!
2. Martin Lawrence - You So Crazy: Crazy...deranged....hilarious. Martin did such an excellent job with this movie that he can't even outdo it(Runteldat). From watching Andy Griffith, to stalking your girlfriend at the club, to even having a gay best friend, You So Crazy is a must watch...over and over and over again!
Buy Martin Lawrence - You So Crazy from Amazon!
1. Eddie Murphy - Raw: I don't care what anyone wants to say, Eddie Murphy is one of the best comedic actors of all time. Everyone reading this has seen at least 2-3 Eddie Murphy flicks, and whether the movie sucked or not, Eddie did his best. If you watch Raw right now, the topics he talked about are in effect today, nearly 20 years from the filming of the show. He killed it. This is by far the the funniest stand-up show I have ever seen.
Buy Eddie Murphy Raw from Amazon!
Honorable Mentions: Eddie Murphy - Delirious, Martin Lawrence - RunTelDat,

I have to say that you chose the same movies I would choose. I'm ashamed to say that I have not seen a Richard Pryor stand up, but I have heard he's the greatest. Martin"You So Crazy" is my #1 pick. The "Original Kings Of Comedy" would he #2 in my book.
