suggestions for poor, black, inner-city kids in New Orleans

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.
