You probably have a favorite movie. What movie(s) did your mom, dad or both of them like best?
My mother liked Chaplin's Modern Times while my dad liked Singin' in the Rain.

Your dad's favorite is one of mine, too... the scene where Tibbs slaps the bigot in his own greenhouse being the most memorable.

@SW-User That’s one of the best scenes in the movie!
My dad grew up black in rural Mississippi. Born in 1914, he experienced Jim Crow and prejudice that was perhaps the worst in America. So I think that movie….seeing a well spoken…well dressed….assertive black man…stand up to the bigotry, really resonated.

Pretty soon all of the survivors of that era right up to the relatively recent 60s will be gone so we'll have to rely on the history books to... wait, what? The history books? One day it'll surely be what history books??
