RIP To the GOAT

So many memorable and historical films. I would like to acknowledge one of my favorites.

While many people feel Guess Who's Coming To Dinner was the best IR Film of all time. A Patch Of Blue which pre-dates that film to me was more groundbreaking and while the tale of the bigotry against IR was a focal point it was such a beautiful romance.
