The Range Busters (1940)

The Delgado family becomes trapped in their house by an unknown force and it takes them years to realize what has happened.

The most impressive aspect of this film is the honest and natural performances given by the on-screen duo.

This romance movie has strong representation of Taiwanese people.

Netflix’s Shadow and Bone has a complicated relationship with race. It has a diverse cast, but not without its problems. Based on Leigh Bardugo’s two book series, the show features characters from the Shadow and Bone trilogy, which is very straight and white, and the Six of Crows duology, which is much more diverse. When bringing together a cast and writing about these characters, the team behind the show expanded upon some of the representation missing from the first trilogy, then seemed to take away representation from the duology. Shadow and Bone seems to play a bit of a push and pull game when it comes to portraying diversity onscreen.

This list was made with the intention of celebrating comedic craft and a love of seeing more women of colour and newcomers on the scene.

With a quirky outline, Project Hail Mary stays within the bounds of human language and imperial fantasy.
