If you like Sidney Poitier here are some movies you might want to watch:

-To Sir, With Love
-Lilies of The Field
-In the Heat of the Night
-Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

The last two deal with race relations in the US. Things have changed a lot since those movies were released.

The Misfits

The Misfits is a 1961 American drama film written by Arthur Miller, directed by John Huston, and starring Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Montgomery Clift, Thelma Ritter, and Eli Wallach. It was the final film appearance for both Gable and Monroe. The movie was not a commercial success at the time of its release but garnered critical respect for its script and performances.

Plot

The Misfits takes place in Reno, Nevada, and depicts the chance meeting and friendship of a depressed divorcée, Roslyn Tabor (Monroe), and Gay Langland (Gable), an aging ex-cowboy prone to gambling, who survives by rounding up and catching mustangs. These had once been sold as horses for children, but now the only market is selling them to slaughterhouses for the manufacture of dog food. Wallach plays Guido, Langland's pilot partner, and Clift plays Perce Howland, a drifter rodeo rider.
