      8. “Dirty Gertie From Harlem U.S.A.” (1946): If Francine Everett — the star of this all-black drama — had been born decades later, she might have been a name everyone remembers.http://nyti.ms/2BMQKpU

      10. “The Jackie Robinson Story” (1950): The filmmakers stuck to the truth (more or less), and in doing so made a mockery of the mainstream industry’s screen segregation. http://nyti.ms/2BMQKpU pic.twitter.com/dhLWySvzjX

      11. “The Defiant Ones” (1958): There's plenty to roll your eyes at in this movie. But Sidney Poitier’s wit and charisma transcend the material and render it believable.http://nyti.ms/2BMQKpU

      12. “Shadows” (1959): John Cassavetes’s landmark independent film about 3 black siblings of varying skin tones — only one of whom was played by a black actor, a casting decision that speaks to the time http://nyti.ms/2BMQKpU pic.twitter.com/p3ywzOCU7G

      13. “Symbiopsychotaxiplasm, Take One” (1968): All but forgotten until the early 2000s, the film is mischievously eloquent on the struggles of the black artist in a supposedly liberal societyhttp://nyti.ms/2BMQKpU

          20. “Stir Crazy” (1980): For movie fans who came of age in the late '70s, Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were an unparalleled interracial buddy act. As a director, Sidney Poitier shows a silly side behind the camera that he rarely indulged in front of it. http://nyti.ms/2BMQKpU pic.twitter.com/FK1z6SNplU
