mutlicultural movies?

hey everyone,
just thought i would ask for suggestions for some good multicultural movies out there?

i recently watched "whale rider" and "real women have curves"...both have very positive messages and images for young women and girls. which i think is always a good thing.

any suggestions/reccommendations?

ONE love,
jamie

U know what movie i like?? "Guess who's coming to dinner"

I'm not really too sure about the message but i think it's a great movie and it's got lots of comic relief. And it shows how hard the interracial thing can be, but also how it can be overcome!!
