The Wizard of Oz and The Wiz.

GATTACA is about class struggle while being exceptionally white about it

Steel Magnolias is the whittest movie ever made.

Maybe some white apologist shit like El Torino for a guy. That's a pretty good one.

I have only ever met one other person who knows what Harold and Maude is.

that was his "black people" movie recommendation?

As I am not black I don't know if he's right really, but I do know anyone can be wrong.

Only my whitest friends emphatically recommend this movie and make any references to it. I don't think I've ever met a non-white person who's watched it. If they have, they never bring it up!

What makes it white in particular? I'd argue it's the #1 movie for women. White would imply white men love it too.

Somehow that movie was aytoplaying while I was asleep. I woke up at the very end when the symptoms show. I was thoroughly confused but intrigued.

If women love it, men are are telling their partners they do too.

I think I'd still say it's a white movie. It's about masculinity, consumerism, and class which are universal challenges, but it looks at them through the lens of how they impact white men.

Watched both with my Asian wife.

"Really! That's exactly how women in Mississippi are!"

She loved Grand Torino as well. (That's what you meant, right?)

White Men Can't Jump may cover both bases as well. :)

Good call on Friday!

I'm not sure I understand what you both meant by white people or black people movies. If I'm getting the correct titles, it looks like both movies he recommended star Angelina Jolie (and incidentally both released in 2010). They don't appear to have any prominent black characters in them, but I could be mistaken. Why are those black people movies? Because black people enjoy them?

I'd be quite irritated if I offered to "trade" movies with someone and I gave them an 80 minute comedy and was told to watch a 12+ hour trilogy, lol. They are indeed white movies though.

How about Casablanca? It's black and white.

White people movie: Death at a Funeral (2007)

Black people movie: Death at a Funeral (2010)

Bonus fun: Peter Dinklage plays the same character in both.

The folk music in A Mighty Wind may be greater than the Swans' screen time. And that music is extremely white.

But the meltdown over Busy Bee can definitely count for double.

Inception, that's a good white people movie

My vote for the whitest movie of all time is Metropolitan (1990). I enjoyed it, but i feel embarrassed recommending it. From Wikipedia:

Metropolitan (1990 film)

1990 film by Whit Stillman

Metropolitan is a 1990 American romantic comedy-drama film produced, written and directed by Whit Stillman, in his feature directorial debut. The film concerns the lives of a group of wealthy young socialites during debutante season in Manhattan. In addition to some of their debutante parties, it covers their frequent informal after-hours gatherings at a friend's Upper East Side apartment, where they discuss life, philosophy and their fate; form attachments, romances and intrigues; and react to an interesting but less well-to-do newcomer.

Quick facts Directed by, Written by ...

Metropolitan was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 63rd Academy Awards.[4] The film is often considered the first of a trilogy of Stillman films set in the 1980s and portraying privileged young adults, followed chronologically by The Last Days of Disco (1998) and Barcelona (1994).[5]

Grand Torino! That's the one!

Even with the context of the rest of the movie, that ending was completely out of left field.

I will watch anything made by Monty Python.

Winter's Bone

I guess it depends on what kind of white people movie.

I didn't even realize i was watching the same movie until I watched almost the whole thing. Amazon would do that though.
