Civil Rights Movies

Can you recommend highly reviewed and generally excellent civil rights movies?

I'm watching Selma right now. Milk was also great, about gay rights.

Suffragette was pretty good. 12 Years A Slave was probably the best movie of the best decade.

I'm open to any recommendations you have. Trailers welcome.

Murder on a Sunday Morning isn't about the traditional civil rights struggle per se. But it's one of the best, most immediate, recountings of the flaws we talk about generally and with limited information in the criminal justice system.

It's worth sitting through the whole thing to get the full impact of the cross examination at around 1:15 in. Then the summation at around 1:30

Brings tears to my eyes every ****ING time!!



Bad audio synching and french subtitles, but you can follow the narrative and it's free. Want better resolution, etc., track it down and rent/stream it.

You can call it gangster movie I guess but Jimmi Hoffa did a lot for civil rights for the working man.
I always liked this one as well

Well, about 100 years ago.

"Civil rights" is pretty broad, but Glory, about one of the first all-black military regiments in the Civil War, was good.
