99. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)


I loved this movie! It was really well done, incredibly well thought-out, and a pretty cool movie for it's time. The beginning reminded me of watching an episode of Mad Men, with the cars, outfits, and setting.

There were lots of great lines, but I thought it was really interesting to hear the vocabulary. In movies today, you would hardly ever hear black people referred to as "negro" or "colored". However, in this movie, those were the only words that were used to describe black people.

It reminded me, in part, of how Obama's family must have felt when his mother brought home his future father.

I gave this movie 5 stars for it's humor, topic, and I also loved the ending.
