Movies with BM/WW Couples

Despite it being a big budget major studio wide theatrical release with big names, it looks like nobody ever bothered to post the trailer for the 2022 film "Amsterdam", so I'm posting it now:

Skimming through the Wikipedia cast info & plot summary, it does seem that John David Washington & Margot Robbie are love interests. Zoe Saldana plays Christian Bale's love interest + he has a separate estranged wife, so there's no love triangle between the 3 lead characters.

 

I saw both movies on Lifetime and can affirm that they both have positive IR portrayals not to spoil them too much as of course there are some challenges along the way.

 

Now see. That's good info without spoiling it. lol.

 

How did you watch them? Looking at the JustWatch pages for each of the 5 Lifetime films that were mentioned in those series of quoted posts, I don't think any of them are on a free streaming service app/website or on a popular subscription streaming service (i.e. Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, & etc.). You either gotta digitally buy/rent them OR have a sub to a more obscure streaming service or certain cable/satellite services.

 

Hey guys & gals . . . I just stumbled upon an early 90's crime thriller featuring one of the most underrated baddest beauties in the business . . . Maria from "Head of the Class" . . . Leslie Rae Bega who also played Valentina de la Paz on HBO in "The Sopranos" for several seasons and she is starring as the lead actress in "Angel in Red" on @Tubi.

This is good late night find a d rather unexpected too as I knew I knew her from somewhere but . . . I couldn't remember where lol. Damn she fine in 1991 as I loved "Head of the Class" on ABC in the late 80's and looks the same. She kisses a BIG Black pimp named "Stash" who she calls for help after her pimp Sharkey" played by a strikingly young Jeffery Dean Morgan beats the brakes off her friend. That's all the spoilers I will post. Damn this White woman is fiiiiiiiinnnnneeee!!! She has my FULL ATTENTION . I haven't finished the movie yet but I like the set up so far. She is caring for her younger brother who was so abused by their father that he is developmental disabled. I really like "Angel in Red" so far . . .

 

I saw them as I said . . . on Lifetime channel. I didn't see the trailer beforehand as I just was channel surfing and stumbled across them both at the time. Sometimes I program my Verizon FiOS to remind me of a movie in advance but in these cases I just happened upon them accidentally. Lifetime has an app on Amazon Firestick for OnDemand viewing as does your particular cable provider and they should be free for you as they are for me.

"Dying for a Crown " for example is available OnDemand via Lifetime.

 

Saw Night Swim, I don't know how much y'all want me to say.

Spoiler: There is interest.....

but once the scene in the pool happens, she is frigid towards him because of what happened in the pool, he flaked on her for no reason while that was happening. The horror story takes over the whole movie and they never get back to it.

 

There was some discussion about it before the movie came out. The trailer gave us some small hints about Margot and JDW but nothing concrete and that is why I at least wasn't going to make any proclamations. I finally got around to seeing the film on cable this past spring and the two of them do become a couple who only have eyes for each other. They are paired with one another through much of the film and in the end move to Europe together where their relationship would be more tolerated. Without question their coupling is given more time and development than any other but as I wrote on this site long ago...if a trailer has an opportunity to play up the idea that a white male will have a love interest it will do so even if it means exaggerating the circumstances, if it has that same chance to do so for a black male it will typically do the opposite because its not trying to sell black masculinity. Now you add the factor that the love interest for that black male is a white woman and it is possible it will completely bury all evidence. For this film the trailer kinda does just that with JDW and Margot but tells us that our white guy is hooking up with a black chick.

 

Spoiler

He did at least kiss her though

 

Looks like they put out a 11.5-minute preview clip for "Mr. Malcolm's List" back in 2019, 3 years before the movie came out:

 

"Rare Objects" came out last year. Here's the trailer:

The movie is available on Hulu.

 

Yeah I have this saved on my Hulu account.

 

Seen this. Underrated period piece IR Film. This and Chevalier were Great.

 

Here's the trailer for the 2015 film "Beatbox":

Watching "Beatbox" right now & this film has a love triangle. The BM lead character has 2 IR love interests:

1. His live-in GF (Her Father is also the lead character's employer at his day job) who becomes disillusioned with his struggling music career passion.

2. This Singer chick who the lead character met/got to know/hangs out with while pursing his music career passion.

 

I just watched "Where is Good?". What a fucced up movie it was. There is NO endgame IR 'ship in this film. So if you decide to watch the film based on @Young Herschel's teasing in this thread, you'll be disappointed.

 

Does it have interracial content . . . yes. There is an interracial BM & WW cop partnership too. The movie has some surprising twists as the aforementioned couple tries to track down the serial criminal and I couldn't believe who it turned out to be. On a Lifetime Movie channel scale . . . the movie is VERY entertaining as that was how I measured it. Never claimed it to be like a Lifetime romance movie but rather like a Lifetime criminal thriller with interracial content.

@ColiBreh1 did you see the PG-13 abridged version of "Where is GOOD"?!? That one is significantly shorter than the unrated extended version I own. I still think it is better than most Lifetime criminal thriller movies but I understand if some may not share my appreciation for movies that forgo the happy ending Hallmark movie channel trope and go off into darker more realistic directions (referring to the White Republican Christian hypocrite Pro-life husband).

 

I watched the 2 hours & 9 min version. That version seems to be more widely available than the shorter hour & a half version.

 

This 2019 indie film "Game Day" starring Lil Romeo has platonic IR co-leads:

That flick is certainly a flat tire. Just platonic like a 80's and 90's movie.
