My list from favorite to least favorite:

1) Rosewood

2) Mississippi Burning

3) A Time to Kill

My honorable mention is American History X since that movie is not "southern" but regardless a very powerful expose on modern racism.

American History X gets my top vote if we take away the southern element and just list movies about racism in general.

So does School Ties.

To Kill a Mockingbird. The scene where scout meets Boo is one of the greatest moments in all of film.

Best Ku Klux Klan rally scene in cinema history with old timey southern racism sprinkled throughout.
