Has to have been produced in or after 1980. So "The Battle of Algiers" doesn't count, although its a great example.

The Mission (1986) http://imdb.com/title/tt0091530/ about the Portuges in colonial Brazil/South America ca. 1700.
Out of Africa (1985) http://imdb.com/title/tt0089755/ about 20th century Europeans (Danish and Dutch) in Africa

The Color Purple (1985) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088939/
Most of the movie takes place in Georgia, but the parts with Celie's sister Nettie take place with an African tribe that is being destroyed by European imperialists.
Cry the Beloved Country (1995- remake of a much older movie) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112749/ is about Apartheid in South Africa, which was completely a result of Dutch imperialism.
The Last King of Scotland (2006) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455590/ is about Idi Amin (Ugandan dictator 1970s) but shows the effects of European intrigue and imperialism in the country.

'Breaker Morant' - Very good period piece.
'The Flames Trees of Thika' - a 12-part series from Masterpiece Theater. Might be available at your local library.
