Another recent film tha comes to mind is Baz Luhrman's WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO + JULIET, with a mostly-white cast. I am not sure if it quite fits Krin's request, but Spike Lee's use of music is always interesting and the focus on an Italian-American community in SUMMER OF SAM might be worth attention too.
