49. Trouble Man (1972)
Some films are lucky enough to have leading artists and musicians lending their talents to the score, and Trouble Man was one of them. This film had none other than Marvin Gaye penning its score, and Gaye was at the peak of his powers at the time. He doesn’t sing too much throughout the film’s score, but his musical creations are truly special, with funky beats and moving grooves matching well with the cheesy blaxploitation action.

The film was featured in the Harry Medved book, The Fifty Worst Films of All Time from 1978. Then in 2009, Complex included Trouble Man on its list of “The 50 Best Blaxploitation Movies of All Time.” New York Times described it as “a horrible movie, but worth thinking about.”
