Written, produced, directed, and starring Christopher St. John

Written, produced, directed, and starring Christopher St. John, Top of the Heap is an existential character study crazy quilt incorporating elements of blacksploitation, science fiction, and socio-political commentary. Insightful, sharply funny, and at times surreal, this one-man blast of triumphant creativity shines like no other.

A smart, long forgotten Gem

It's rare to find a true gem in the large pile of forgotten 70s films. I'm a 70s film buff so I have dug deep into this pile. Top of the Heap is a hidden gem. Unusual narrative keeps your interest. I would not include this in the "blaxploitation" genre (I have seen at least 30 films in this genre), but the movie certainly explore many themes of being an African-American in 70s America. It's certainly not a top rated movie by any means, but a decent watch and well above average.
