Across 110th Street is a phenomenal piece of noir, with a great theme song.

Ooh, Yaphet Kotto. He might be the best actor in blaxploitation. (Also, wtf?)

during my first trip to nyc, my wife & i took the bus up to the cloisters, and i got all excited when we actually went across 110th street.

she hadn't seen that film. nor had she seen jackie brown (which tarantino borrowed for its opening theme). and how was i supposed to know that the pimps, players & private eyes compilation wasn't in everyone's cd collection? sheesh. i had to explain it.
