Whoopi Goldberg
Actor
When I am in a mood, I turn to these six films.
1
Amazing Grace
1974
A film starring the great Moms Mabley about how change can come, and what we leave for youth to carry on.
2
Get Out
2017
Phenomenal horror film. The performances. The story. What more can I say? It's a metaphor about what we each really want from the other.
3
Stormy Weather
1943
Really celebrated the top of Black talent, music, and dance—and showcased it.
4
In the Heat of the Night
1967
Sidney Poitier and the slap heard from Compton to Harlem to Mississippi AND he was the star.
5
Blacula
1972
One of my favorites. Bad horror film with a great Shakespearean actor called William Marshall.
6
Shaft
1971
All I see is Richard Roundtree.
