Ahoy folks, I have a request.

At school I'm starting a little something called "Dinner and a Movie". The idea behind this is that I'm in a diversity club and we basically share diversity and what not. Well the club has been lacking and I came up with this brilliant idea~!

Anywho, the idea is that we present a movie every other month that showcases ethnic related problems/issues in the US, or a movie that promotes well being among diversity and what not. It can be a bunch of things to be honest.

What I'm asking of you guys is to comprise a list of movies you find to be touching the theme I provided above. An exame would be Remember the Titans We have to keep it PG-13 and under as well. That's going to be the biggest pain.

So far I've got:

Remember the Titans
Hotel Rwanda
Gandhi (Haven't seen it)
School Ties (haven't seen it)
Coach Carter

Once again, we're targeting teens. So we have to get something that is both acceptable by them and by the schoo. Nothing like Schindler's List or American History X

Anymore help would be great guys.
