Since your course's name includes "20th century," you might consider using any of the episodes of the Bill Cosby show. I know it was long ago, but the storylines in that series were excellent, and just about all of them included some kind of moral or ethical choice to be made.
See if you can find these online, and watch a few.

They are not long -- they used to be used in 30-minute time slots. But they are excellent!
Hi, I am having a severe case of writer's block at the moment. My assignment asks me to pick a popular t.v series, movie, or book that I believe suggests a moral choice. Then briefly provide explanation of the section of the story I believe to be the moral/ethical dilemma and the results.Was the rationale for this choice convincing? In your Discussion response(s), consider how the categories of morality, such as self-interest, altruism, moral absolutism, or moral relativism, are portrayed in these decisions. I know I am overthinking this but I would appreciate any suggestions anyone may be able to offer.
