What's the latest movie you've seen?

I watched "Do the Right Thing" which was basically a black power movie that played on racial stereotypes and tried to justify it's own stupidity with quotes from Malcolm X and Martin Luther. Honestly it was one of the dumbest films I've ever watched and why it's on the top 100 list of best American films is beyond me. If you want to show me that racial tension is bad don't make your characters act unlikable and do horrible things, then act like what they did was okay.
