    I actually never liked Feris, it seemed boring and without a plot, it was just there

    Breakfast at Tiffany's is totally ruined by Mickey Rooney in yellowface. His buck toothed squinty eyed caricature of a Japanese man is so racist and horrible. The film has not aged well because of those unfortunate scenes. It is a product of an earlier and less enlightened time. And no, Audrey Hepburn, lovely as she is, does not save or excuse it.

    Why in the world do every last one of these "must-haves" feature white folks almost exclusively? Have people of color not contributed a single film or cinema performance worth owning? Why is The Color Purple not a must-have along the likes of these films? Or a Malcolm X? Or Do the Right Thing? Or even Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? Not to mention, the film contributions of Asian, Latino, and others. I mean, really!

    Just how long do these folks expect diverse peoples to accept the message that we "must" consume these, albeit impressive, dominant cultural expressions, while none of us are being impressed upon to squeeze a single accomplished person of color into our movie viewing routines? How long?

    lady w ,I think the movies you mentioned are much better films than any on this list most of which are just silly , the color purple is definitely one of my favorites as is the Joy luck club, what about shindlers' list there are so many great films to chose from .

The greatest gift exchanges require thoughtfulness, listening, and really understanding who another person is and what they like and need—that's what I always strive for in giving and it's the only thing I hope for in receiving.
