7. The Last Black Man in San Francisco

The Last Black Man in San Francisco is insightful because it explores the deep connection between identity and place, showing how a house can hold more than just memories, it can hold a person’s sense of self. Jimmie Fails (playing himself) dreams of reclaiming his childhood home, with his best friend Mont (Jonathan Majors) by his side. Directed by Joe Talbot in 2019, this visually stunning film is a heartfelt ode to friendship, belonging, and the bittersweet changes of a city.
