I was disappointed that “Eastside High” was not among his top 5 movies. Most inner-city and neighborhood schools today still remind you of Eastside High, where a Morgan Freeman touch is needed to turn the schools around. I am just disappointed that the choices speak volumes of public regard for the outcomes at inner-city schools.
Hands down my favorite movie that stole the Oscar from Morgan was Driving Miss Daisy! Jessica Tandy portrayed an excellent character, but Morgan played a perfect southern character. I truly believe Morgan did not receive his Oscar because those who voted were not familiar with the accuracy of his portrayal. I grew up in the south and witnessed the black dialect and humility expressed by Morgan. I will always believe he was robbed just because of the lack of experience of the voters.

All excellent movies, but you could have added, Along Came a Spider, outstanding movie, one of the best actors of our time. Says I.
“Lean on Me” (1989) should definitely have been included in the list. ♥
Lean on Me
Driving Miss Daisy
Glory
All great movies. Who did this poll?
I remember the movie Suddie and Simpson. My most favorite was “Lean on Me”.

Also, in the list should be ‘Hard Rain’ and the ‘Contract’…Morgan Freeman with a twist…
Glory definitely should have been on this list.
