Buffalo Soldiers (2001)

1989. The Berlin Wall is about to fall, and the world is about to be made safe for the new world order. But outside of Stuttgart, West Germany, at Theodore Roosevelt Army Base, Specialist Ray Elwood of the 317th Supply Battalion is about to find his own cold war turn white hot. Elwood’s a lovable rogue, a conscript who’s managed to turn his military servitude into a blossoming network of black market deals, more out of boredom than ambition. Officially, there’s his day job as battalion secretary to the inept but caring Commander Wallace Berman. On the side, there’s everything from selling the locals stolen Mop’N’Glo to cooking heroin for the base’s ruthless head of Military Police, Sgt. Saad. When a new top sergeant arrives, with the avowed intention of cleaning the base up, Elwood thinks the new blood is nothing he can’t handle, especially after he lays eyes on the top’s daughter, rebellious Robyn. But that was before he figured in the $5 million in stolen arms that just landed on his lap, Berman’s jealous wife, an insane Turkish drug dealer, and, of course, the resulting lust, betrayal, and murder.

Sydney White (2008)

Sydney White hopes to fill in what she believes are fairly big shoes that belonged to her late mother by joining Kappa, her mother’s sorority. As is to be expected, the sorority president is the stereotypical snob who despises Sydney’s natural charm, skill at pledge tasks, and of course, the attraction between Sydney and the Beta president, the Kappa’s former beau. Sydney is humiliated in front of the entire sorority ball but bounces back through befriending 7 less-than-popular nerds down the street. They mutually help each other meet their goals of becoming more “normal”(the dorks) and able to make the campus friendly for all types of students (Sydney). It is a good, relatively clean movie, with mainly the B-word and the A- word the extent of any foul language (nowadays it appears that this is no big deal unfortunately) which many not sit well with younger audiences. But the message of acceptance and empowerment was a positive one and I found myself tearing up a few times!
