| American History X | 1998 | 94 | 1 | - This is a film in the truest sense of the word. Filled with so many themes and powerful messages, this loud, explicit film might just be the closest thing we have to explain the root of racial tension in our world today. And it is the best performance of Edward Norton's career. |
| 12 Years a Slave | 2013 | 92 | 2 | - What makes '12 Years a Slave' stand out is its unwillingness to censore itself. While the characters are clearly shaded in either more darkness or light, no supposition is absolute. Thus, a brilliant level of honesty comes out. |
| Selma | 2014 | 88 | 3 | - Very dark but very, very powerful! |
| Fruitvale Station | 2013 | 86 | 4 | - Most moviegoers will get hung up on the criminality of the BART officers' action, but the real message here is you just never know when it's your time. |
| 13th | 2016 | 83 | 5 | - A deep and introspective look about how concepts of slavery carry on today through different institutions. |
| Remember the Titans | 2000 | 83 | 5 | - Talked about football and its grapple with race before talking about football's grapples with race were popular. |
