What is your favourite AFRICAN film of all time?

I recently posted this question on the Screen Africa group page and I must confess that I am looking forward to seeing people's responses. This simple yet difficult question got me thinking about what my favourite AFRICAN movie is.

There is such a plethora of motion pictures produced from this magnificent continent of ours that I am still racking my brain. I have watched so many lovely films and in retrospect most of them can take the number 1 spot.

I am talking about movies as old as XALA, as futuristic as District 9, as compelling as NERIA, as interesting as Yellow Card and as funny as Jit. The list is endless and includes but not limited to: Lemumba, Battle of Algiers, Everybody's Child, Tsotsi, Yesterday, Jerusalema, Mapantsula, White Wedding, Osofiya In London, Blood Diamond, Drum, Getroud Met Rugby and and Invictus.
