In tune with this discussion, anyone looking for a good movie rental is encouraged to check out "Crash". It is about how people of different races perceive each other and treat each other. That makes it sound like one of those good-for-you, "eat your peas" things, but it really isn't. It's a compelling movie with plot twists, character development, drama, some laughs -- all those old things. Highly recommended. There are many great scenes but watch for the one with the locksmith and his 5 year old daughter under the bed in particular.
