It’s about life. It’s about love. It’s about us. Academy Award® winner Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey star in director Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Color Purple. From 1909 to 1949, Celie (Goldberg–Ghosts of Mississippi), a Southern Black woman, gradually gains self-respect as she strives to educate herself and to find love–despite an abusive spouse and a society biased against her race and her sex.

Curated by Coral Gables Art Cinema founder Steven Krams and Books & Books owner Mitchell Kaplan, Movies We Love! brings beloved cultural treasures back to the big screen—preserving their legacy and sharing their magic with new generations of film lovers.
