My black co-worker asked me today to reccomend him a white people movie, and he’d give me a black people movie.
At first I reccomended Live Die Repeat (also known as Edge of Tomorrow) then remembered Wes Anderson exists and said anything by him maybe.
He reccomended Salt and The Tourist. I intend to watch them on the weekend.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Oh that’s pretty damn white.
So white it’s British
Only my whitest friends emphatically recommend this movie and make any references to it. I don’t think I’ve ever met a non-white person who’s watched it. If they have, they never bring it up!
I will watch anything made by Monty Python.
For a white movie, I’d recommend Office Space from 1999. It’s one of my all time favorites
White Chicks. Then you’ve got both bases covered.
White Men Can’t Jump may cover both bases as well. :)
I’ve gotten that answer a lot in person too. I totally agree. 😂
Sorry To Bother You is an amazing movie with a scene that will make any white person uncomfortable (in a good way). Bonkers cast too.
I love that movie so fucking much. It saddens me that I will never again experience the thrill of watching it with a white person (many white people in fact) in a movie theatre. I’m not sure I’d want to because it made me feel physically ill but what a thrill.
Somehow that movie was aytoplaying while I was asleep. I woke up at the very end when the symptoms show. I was thoroughly confused but intrigued.
Even with the context of the rest of the movie, that ending was completely out of left field.
I didn’t even realize i was watching the same movie until I watched almost the whole thing. Amazon would do that though.

White people movie: Death at a Funeral (2007)
Black people movie: Death at a Funeral (2010)
Bonus fun: Peter Dinklage plays the same character in both.
I think Titanic is probably the whitest movie ever made. couldn’t tell you what a black movie would be.
What makes it white in particular? I’d argue it’s the #1 movie for women. White would imply white men love it too.
If women love it, men are are telling their partners they do too.
Any Medea movie?
Dolemite or probably anything Tyler Perry
Malcom X?
White: The LOTR original trilogy
Black: Coming to America, They Cloned Tyrone, Get Out (gave 3 movies since the trilogy is technically 3 movies)
Bonus
Asian: Kung Fu Hustle, Old Boy (very dark thriller warning), Spirited Away
Hispanic: Instructions Not Included, Coco, Pan’s Labyrinth
I’d be quite irritated if I offered to “trade” movies with someone and I gave them an 80 minute comedy and was told to watch a 12+ hour trilogy, lol. They are indeed white movies though.

The whitest film I’ve ever seen is Christopher Guest’s Best in Show (2000).
I don’t think you can outdo John Singleton’s Boyz N the Hood (1991), but I think the most universally agreed upon movie that black people enjoy is actually Love and Basketball (2000).
I’d argue that A Mighty Wind is even whiter.
I would argue the yuppie couple alone puts Best in Show as the whiter movie
The folk music in A Mighty Wind may be greater than the Swans’ screen time. And that music is extremely white.
But the meltdown over Busy Bee can definitely count for double.
White people movie: Cruel Intentions (incredibly privileged and wealthy people being horrible to each other for no reason other than they can)
Black people movie: His House (South Sudanese refugees adapting to their new lives in England experiencing racism and hostility, oh and their house is haunted)
The Grand Budapest Hotel. Whitest feeling movie I’ve seen.
Well, it depends.
Steel Magnolias is the whittest movie ever made.
Maybe some white apologist shit like El Torino for a guy. That’s a pretty good one.
Watched both with my Asian wife.
“Really! That’s exactly how women in Mississippi are!”
She loved Grand Torino as well. (That’s what you meant, right?)
Grand Torino! That’s the one!
White movie: The Princess Bride
Black movie: Poetic Justice. Also, since the holidays are coming up, The Holiday and The Best Man.
Also, your coworker likes Angelina Jolie and that’s all their picks mean. It’s like they didn’t even understand the question
Oh god this coworker is a lot of fun but he kinda way off in right-field most of the time mentally.
The Wizard of Oz and The Wiz.
Uh oh. I’m starting to notice that they’re ALL white movies. It’s almost as if the entire industry has been dominated by a single voice since it’s inception. 🤔
Yeah. I thought it was bizarre when some people complained about a black actor playing the little mermaid. We could list Americans of northern European ancestry playing almost every other race, ethnicity and nationality without anyone blinking an eye and we could do it for days without being close to a complete list.
Inception, that’s a good white people movie
Braveheart is about as white as it gets.
You call the scottish rednecks “white”??
