My black co-worker asked me today to reccomend him a white people movie, and he’d give me a black people movie.
At first I reccomended Live Die Repeat (also known as Edge of Tomorrow) then remembered Wes Anderson exists and said anything by him maybe.
He reccomended Salt and The Tourist. I intend to watch them on the weekend.
White people movie: Cruel Intentions (incredibly privileged and wealthy people being horrible to each other for no reason other than they can)
Black people movie: His House (South Sudanese refugees adapting to their new lives in England experiencing racism and hostility, oh and their house is haunted)
White: The LOTR original trilogy
Black: Coming to America, They Cloned Tyrone, Get Out (gave 3 movies since the trilogy is technically 3 movies)
Bonus
Asian: Kung Fu Hustle, Old Boy (very dark thriller warning), Spirited Away
Hispanic: Instructions Not Included, Coco, Pan’s Labyrinth
Sorry To Bother You is an amazing movie with a scene that will make any white person uncomfortable (in a good way). Bonkers cast too.
I love that movie so fucking much. It saddens me that I will never again experience the thrill of watching it with a white person (many white people in fact) in a movie theatre. I’m not sure I’d want to because it made me feel physically ill but what a thrill.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Oh that’s pretty damn white.
So white it’s British
The whitest film I’ve ever seen is Christopher Guest’s Best in Show (2000).
I don’t think you can outdo John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood (1991), but I think the most universally agreed upon movie that black people enjoy is actually Love and Basketball (2000).
I’d argue that A Mighty Wind is even whiter.
I would argue the yuppie couple alone puts Best in Show as the whiter movie
White Chicks. Then you’ve got both bases covered.
For a white movie, I’d recommend Office Space from 1999. It’s one of my all time favorites
The Grand Budapest Hotel. Whitest feeling movie I’ve seen.
Well, it depends.
I think Titanic is probably the whitest movie ever made. couldn’t tell you what a black movie would be.
Malcom X?
Any Medea movie?
Uh oh. I’m starting to notice that they’re ALL white movies. It’s almost as if the entire industry has been dominated by a single voice since it’s inception. 🤔
Yeah. I thought it was bizarre when some people complained about a black actor playing the little mermaid. We could list Americans of northern European ancestry playing almost every other race, ethnicity and nationality without anyone blinking an eye and we could do it for days without being close to a complete list.
Braveheart is about as white as it gets.
You call the scottish rednecks “white”??
