Running Time 91 minutes.

Quick Gist: Whew, ok, where to start? Besides the fact this movie is filled with everyone you love; Vivica Fox, Gabrielle Union, Monique, Morris Chestnut, Anthony Anderson, Wendy Raquel, Did I say Vivica Fox? The story follows Shante Smith (Vivica Fox), a woman who has a clear idea on relationships and men, but when a man threatens to stray, she won't take it laying down (see what I did there?) She claims to know every trick in the book and every type of man there is and devises a plan to keep her man in line.

4. A Different World

6 Seasons 144 Episodes (Approx. 72 hours)

Quick Gist: Besides the fact that this sitcom paved the way for many shows to follow after, it ALSO gave us Jada Pinkett-Smith! The sitcom follows the lives of a group of friends at a fictional HBCU called Hilman college. The first season focus mainly on Denese Huxtable (From The Cosby Show) as she adjusts to college life, but the show quickly takes on a 'Different' role and attacks social issues that still play a huge factor in mainstream society today, such as HIV, Teen Pregnancy, Substance Abuse, and Racism.

5. Bebe's Kids

Running Time 72 Minutes

Quick Gist: (If you've never seen this movie, get out) Meet Robin Harris, he meets a very nicely drawn Jamika & asks her out. Well, see, Jamika has a mild mannered son and invited Robin to join them on a trip to an Amusement Park. Robin goes to pick up Jamika and her son to learn that Jamika has volunteered to take along her friend's three children with them, and lets just say these children are not your typical tykes. This movie is filled with so many gems and rap sequences, as well as the classic line, "we don't die, we multiply"

6. Vampire in Brooklyn

Running Time 102 minutes

Quick Gist: Two words, Angela Basset. Thats all.

Jk. Maximillan (played by Eddie Murphy) is the last of a dying breed of Vampires and descends into Brooklyn to look for a woman to make his queen (Angela Basset) before the next full moon. He uses his Vampire powers to hypnotize and bully people of Brooklyn into doing whatever it is that he wants. Without one he will die and well.. yea, he will be dead. Also in this movie, John Witherspoon and Kadeem Harris. This movie is categorized as a comedy but verges on the lines of Horror/Thriller. Sounds like the perfect combo for 'Netflix & Chill'
