Movies with bi-racial couples

MonaLeigh · Aug 27, 2007

I"m looking for popular movies with bi-racial couples. (as you can see from my clever title) More specifically, ones where the man is black. The only ones I can think of are:

Monster's Ball (african american female)
The Bodyguard (a.a. female)
Austin Powers (a.a. female)

Thanks

White Men Can't Jump
Guess Who
Something New

Where are all the black men?

Wesley Snipes was with an Asian woman in One Night Stand.

That's what I want to know. I want to have a white married woman have an affair with a black man. I was trying to think of a man between 25-35 and I could only come up with Taye Diggs or Tyson Beckford and I'm not really crazy about either. I need a male Halle Berry.

Thanks for the link! It makes me feel like it's not a good idea to do it. But I don't care.

Maybe Derek Jeter....

Are you kidding??? It sounds steamy...go for it. Question, are you writing a screenplay???

Definitely go for a Wesley Snipes type....he has adultery written all over his face, and tax evasion.

I think it sounds good too! Yes, I'm writing a screenplay. Sometimes it helps me to have a face in mind when writing.

This is the film that broke new ground back in 1967:

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a classic.

Blair Underwood is a handsome black man, if you're looking for a less muscular, more average-good-looking-joe type

You know, I was thinking about him. I wish he was 10 years younger--he's 43. (because then, you know, I'd definitely cast him in my movie.) I think he was on Sex and the City, too. He is cute.

I'm a new fan of his. So steamy. Do you catch him in New Christine?

Guess Who is Coming to Dinner

1967 (I believe) and starring Sidney Poitier. Good flick and one of the first of its kind, perhaps the first. Guess Who, a recent remake, doesn't hold a candle to the original (as is oftent he case).

Also have a look at the original version of Hairspray -- Penny Pingleton is white, and her boyfriend (what was his name? Cricket?) is black.

I haven't seen the remake (and probably won't), but the original is fabulous: Divine, Sonny Bono, Debbie Harry, and a pre-fame Rikki Lake.

"O" - a modern retelling of Othello.

can't remember the name but is about a Texan woman who leaves her husband for going to Washington to see Kennedy's funeral and meets and falls in love of a black man

I can remember a movie called Mandingo that came out in the 70's. It took place in the old south and the plantation owners wife has an affair with one of the slaves. I believe Kenny Norton the boxer, played the slave. I just remember it was pretty controversial at the time.

Outside the film world, there's also Madame Butterfly (and Miss Saigon, which is nearly exactly the same plot).

A. Hamilton · Aug 27, 2007

In the T.V show Judging Amy, the judge came very close to having an affair with her black bailiff. He was HOT.

Jersey Chick · Aug 27, 2007

Personally, I like Mekhi Pfifer (did I spell that right?)

What about the movie Jungle Fever? Black man (Wesley Snipes??) and an Hispanic woman (Annabelle Sciorra).

Lady Esther · Aug 27, 2007

Yes, I think Jungle Fever is what you're looking for.
There's Guess Who? though it involves a white man (Ashton Kutcher) and a black woman (Zoe Saldana).
And in Malcolm X Malcolm (Denzel Washington) dates a white woman.

Oh, and Save the Last Dance

).

Love Haysbert's voice!

I wouldn't say this if I didn't see it for myself, This new movie is great, maybe better than the original because of it's pace. Worth a look...
