Anyone seen the original Sweet Sweetback movie? Is it worth finding?

I saw it once while in college but was way too fucked up to form an impression of it.

I remember liking Sonny Spoon. I was young and impressionable then though.

The soundtrack at least *is* worth finding.

eight months pass...
I finally got around to seeing Baadasssss!

Pretty lousy film, unfortunately. Everything was overexplained and emotionally underrealized. Van Peebles turns in a very convincing performance as his dad though, and it is at least worth watching to get the story behind the film.

As for Sweet Sweetback's, yes, it's definitely worth seeing. Odd mix of artfilm, porn, and b-movie action, and continues to be both striking and discomforting today.
