Yet another film Peele cited as a source of inspiration for "Get Out." In the 1967 film, Joanna Drayton brings her Black fiancé, Dr. John Prentice (Sidney Poitier) to meet her wealthy white liberal parents, who are forced to confront their racism. Sound familiar? In "Get Out," Chris also deals with racism from his white girlfriend's family who consider themselves liberals. Fortunately, John doesn't have to escape his fiancé's house and the Sunken Place. Sir Poitier was the first Black man to win an Oscar for best actor in 1964 for his role in "Lilies of the Field," so watching this film is the perfect way to honour his legacy.
