This 1915 masterpiece landmark of cinema turned 100 this year. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most blatantly racist films ever made. (At least it was highly controversial upon its original release)
I watched it yesterday and it was a cool experience to see a movie that's 100 years old. God willing, I'll be watching Dr. No on its 100th anniversary in 2062 and hopefully a few more after that…

And his jokes are blatantly racist as well.
