It really goes back to what you said about it being sad.
A movie can be a good movie without it being only entertainment. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Carmen Jones," "Imitation of Life," "The Color Purple" are among the movies that I absolutely love and have watched over and over again all of my life. But, they aren't just entertaining. They reinforced some of what I was always taught (even when the schools didn't teach it) and what I always saw.
