Casablanca

The Sting
Chariots of Fire
Amadeus
Silence of the Lambs
Forrest Gump
Braveheart
Titanic

Obviously, a collection of inferior movies due to a lack of meeting diversity standards.
I see no problem with having stories told that reflect a broad spectrum of people in the US. And a good story can influence great changes. Uncle Tom's Cabin or Gulliver's Travels for instance. It is 2025 now though.
