This is partially inspired by @UsedJavelin's thread about Seven Samurai.

I watched a lot of the Western "film canon" when I was younger, and lately I've just been craving some good "artistic" movie content. But I don't trust the :reddit-logo: crowd nor the letterboxd nerds for serious recommendations, so I turn the question to my comrades

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

    The cartoons are stand-ins for black and immigrant communities who

    spoilers

    have their neighbourhoods bulldozed to make space for freeways after the destruction of public transport

    and it's frankly so much better than the other famous toon-in-real-life movies (Space Jam and Song of the South). The first 3 minutes are pretty annoying though, but otherwise is one of my favourite films.
