Fresh- AMAZING incredibly slept on film with Samuel L. Jackson (in a bit part)

Clockers- in my opinion better than Boyz n tha Hood or Menace 2 society, and one of Spike's best films period.

The Wood- funny as hell. Brings me back to my jr. high days.

Mississippi Masala- more of an indian (specifically Gujuratis "transplanted" to Africa and then immigrated to Mississippi)slanted film, but deals with race relations between indians, blacks, and whites. Great film, with a really good Denzel Washington performance.
