Black Women, White Men: Interracial Romance in the Movies

This is a user-contributed, ever-expanding list of theatrical and made-for-TV movies that feature romantic relationships between black women and white men.

Some of the relationships depicted aren’t entirely romantic, of course. Many are based more on sex than love, so we’ve been careful to point out those cases in the notes section below. In addition, we’ve tried to make a note of any themes that some may find offensive, such as racial violence, misogyny, and so forth, even if a given film may have great artistic or socio-political value.

Prior to the 1960s, it was very common for light-skinned black characters to be portrayed by white actors (especially when paired romantically or sexually with a white character), so where applicable, you’ll find information on that in the notes column as well.

The number in the asterisk (*) column indicates who wrote in to add the film (contributors are at the bottom of this page). Our thanks to them all!

To add a movie to this list or suggest improvements, just write to us.
