Can anybody recommend me some good movies which focus on multiethnic romance?

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? with Katharine Hepburn. Certainly the best of that genre/subject, I would say.

I drifted too far away on this one as usual.
"Multi ethnic" ended up as ethnically "dissimilar, divergent, disparate and diverse!"
Too many d's!
My nominations are:
Angela Bassett in "Whats Love Got to Do With It" exploring the relationship between Ike & Tina Turner &
"How Stella Got Her Groove Back", also with Ms Bassett as a 40 year old professional woman who falls in love with a 20 year old Jamaican man.
That actress has a hard sensuality that makes my toes curl.

The Bodyguard with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston

Whitney's acting is really bad, and it's doesn't explore the subject of mixed ethnicity if that's what you're looking for. But for a tough-guy-doesn't-fall-in-love movie I think it's really romantic

Bend it like beckam -- though I didnt think it was that good.
Mischief night- But that is very english humor.
East is east- is supposed to be very good.

What Mathor said.

Broken Blossoms made in 1919 had the first innerracial couple in the history of movies and was very controversial when it was released. Quite suprising coming from a man who had made Birth of a Nation just four years earlier.

I remember Shogun (the nine hour TV ministries) was quite good.

Hiroshima, Mon Amour is a truly great one. Definitley see that, even though it doesn't directly deal with the multi-ethnic relationship.
