As much as I appreciate these films, the issue I have is that these relationships are too often presented as exotic and unusual rather than normal and natural, and they're usually between extraordinarily good-looking people. It would be nice to see more of these relationships represented as natural, with the couples having genuine chemistry and not just drawn to each other because of some mysterious thing called the exoticism of racial difference.
My opinion, I think it’s beautiful to fall in love, regardless of race, religion,etc. I personally know of an African man and an Indian woman, whose been married for 38 years and the marriage is still strong to this day !!! I also find it interesting to be in an such a relationship, it’s fascinating , interesting,and exciting to learn of each other’s culture
In my opinion Jungle Fever is not a Love story. It’s a Lust story. Flipper goes back to his wife. BRONX TALE featured a great interracial love story as part of its overall narrative.
Thanks for this list! I also enjoyed "An Unremarkable Life". Frances (Patricia Neal) meets Max (Mako Iwamstsu). Romance follows, but there's conflict with Frances's controlling sister. This is an older cast and a great story which I found interesting because of Mako's presence in the movie. He has often played bad guys or some other type of harsh character. I was fascinated to see him in this romance movie.
The Secret Laughter of Women with Colin Firth and Nia Long definitely should be on this list. One of my all time faves. Also there is the wonderful movie, “Unbowed”, about a Native American and a beautiful young African American coed.
Surprised Fools Rush In with Salma Hayek & Matthew Perry from 1997 got left off this list or honorable mentions since they discussed the topic of interracial dating heavily in that film & it was a great film.
