Quess Who's Coming to Dinner

Sidney Poitier (To Sir With Love) plays a doctor who lost his first wife and child, and after a few years meets a young woman full of life and falls in love. It's 1967 and society isn't as accepting of a mixed race couple. They decide to get married and move to Europe of a job he has decided to accept. She wants her parents - whom she believes are very liberal - to meet him. Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn (both from Woman of the Year) are her parents. Turns out her dad isn't as accepting as she thought. His parents are also wary. There are some great debates and monologues in this., Everyone has superb acting - It raises a lot of issues from the civil rights movement that a lot of people then and now don't really talk about. Excellent. All in all, I say: SEE IT

In 2005, it was remade with a twist and more of a comedy. Ashton Kutcher (The Ranch is the boy) and Zoe Saldana (Avatar) are the young couple trying to convince her dad in particular to accept them getting married, Bernie Mac (comedian) plays the dad - there are several fun scenes with the 2 guys and Nascar. All in all, I say: SEE IT
