Soul Man (1986)

Soul Man stars C. Thomas Howell is another one of those films that when you just read the plot of the movie, you can understand the issues. A white law student pretending to be black…by wearing a black face…to get a scholarship. 

This movie was controversial back in the ’80s as it was. Nearly four decades later, the story seems like it would certainly be cringeworthy and its chances of being fine today are more than a little bit unlikely.
