The Stone Boy (1984)

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.

I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.

One of the reasons that people with albinism have a difficult time being seen and represented in media is probably because there is a small percentage of them.

"His Girl Friday" set the bar for romcoms and gave us a feminist heroine before feminism was cool.

The enthralling prequel and 5th installment in 'The Hunger Games' film franchise.

The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
