I loved the list, but I can think of a few films that I would think poor minorities would enjoy.
1. Meteor Man - a comedy about a black superhero, with a very positive message and a great cast.
2. Remember the Titans - Denzel Washington and is about racial tolerance without being sappy.
3. Jackie Robinson Story - corny but my four year old loves it.
4. Bingo Long - Fictionalized comedy of the Negro leagues with Richard Pryor, Billy Dee Williams, and James Earl Jones
5. Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman - I remember liking this as a kid.
My wife was very angry with me for years for taking her to see The Vanishing. It is a very disturbing movie. I never saw the remake, but it looked like a travesty.
