A Raisin in the Sun

Sidney Poitier, Claudia McNeil, Ruby Dee, Diana Sands, Ivan Dixon
One of the most spellbinding films I've ever seen, and certainly the film that Sidney Poitier should be remembered for (and the one that should have netted him the Oscar, not that horribly mediocre `Lilies of the Field' film), `A Raisin in the Sun' is a powerful look at racism, poverty, religion, dreams and aspirations as well as to importance of family and togetherness. With a stellar cast (seriously, Oscar nominations should have been handed out to nearly everyone) and a tightly woven and poignant script, this film is a total must see.

Do the Right Thing [Blu-ray]

Spike Lee, Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Giancarlo Esposito
Do The Right Thing (1989)

It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since I first saw this movie in theaters, but it has and I'm getting old.

This one chronicles The hottest day of the summer in the Bedford-Stuyvesant (Bed-Stuy for short) neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. Danny Aiello plays Sal, the owner of Sal's Famous Pizzeria that has been there for over 25 years. During that time, I assume the neighborhod changed from predominately Italian American immigrants to mostly African American.
