1. The Anniversary Party
2. Home for the Holidays
3. The Joy Luck Club
I can't say that these are the three BEST as there are many films that beautifully portray humanity and social interactions. However I chose the first two because they both center around either a party or a holiday, both of which brings (or forces) people together. Friends, family, neighbors, enemies....parties tend to create environments/situations that are out of the cycle or routine of everyday life and therefore tend create almost heightened or exaggerated atmospheres.
The third movie spans a much longer amount of time. The film portrays the lives of two generations - mothers (Chinese immigrants) and daughters (born in the US). The film does a fantastic job of illustrating generational differences and cultural differences.
