The movie that set the tone for an entire genre. Cool private dick John Shaft is hired by a crime lord to find and retrieve his kidnapped daughter. Gordon Parks directed and Richard Roundtree stars in this good-time, gritty NYC caper with maybe the most famous soundtrack of all time. Shaft! You’re damn right.
