The Most Racially Important Films
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Music, Period, Romance, Comedy, Sports, Thrillers, Lists
To celebrate Black History Month, Time magazine has named what it believes to be ‘The 25 Most Important Films on Race.’
In making these selections, the magazine hopes to “honor the artistry, appeal and determination of African Americans on and behind the screen.”
Some choices were predictable (Gone with the Wind, In the Heat of the Night), some were surprising (Bamboozled, I Am Legend), while others were left off altogether (Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?, Glory).

In the meantime, you can find a list of the titles (in reverse chronological order) after the jump.
