Ava DuVernay continues to be a powerhouse filmmaker with films that spark important conversations and changing how we see the world. Selma is the story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s (David Oyelowo) terrifying struggle to secure equal voting rights, which culminated to an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, and led to President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The historical drama is made even more inspirational and poignant through compelling performances by all the cast.
Boyz n the HoodBoyz n the Hood follows high school student Tre Styles (Cuba Gooding Jr.) who is sent to live with his stern but loving father in South Central Los Angeles. There, he reunites with his childhood friends Doughboy (Ice Cube) and Ricky (Morris Chestnut) as they become embroiled in the neighborhood's dangerous drug and gang culture with devastating results.
The 1991 coming-of-age drama has made a huge cultural impact, with John Singleton becoming the youngest person and first African-American in cinema history to be nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards.
Bridesmaids is one of my favorite comedy movies, so it definitely has to have a spot on this list with its outrageous characters. In Bridesmaids, Kristen Wiig stars as Annie, a lovelorn, jobless woman who is asked to be the maid of honor at her best friend Lillian's (Maya Rudolph) wedding. Despite her situation, she's determined to make Lillian's wedding perfect and ends up in some disastrously hilarious situations. Bridesmaids sets the bar high when it comes to buddy comedies and remains unmatched 13 years later.
