What Is Your Favorite Spike Lee Film

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I was thinking of the line from She's Gotta Have It when Mars (Spike Lee) says to the bourgeois African American guy-"Chill- you ain't down you probably voted for Ronny."

1. I Like

when Malcom said "we didn't land on Plymouth Rock...Plymouth Rock landed on us."

2. Summer of Sam

3. I Forgot Summer Of Sam

If you like his work you should see 25th Hour...


P.S. I like your avatar... He's my second choice... In a perfect world he would be my first choice...

4. How about the best three minutes?

It would have to be when the Ed Norton character goes into the diatribe about all the groups he hates in 25th hour. And he even singled out my neighborhood!

6. I Love The End

when Bryan Cox gives an alternate version of his life.....

7. Bensonhurst?

10. Summer of Sam was pretty good.

One of my husband's friends can't watch the part when the dog talks to the Son of Sam without busting up. He keeps expecting the dog to say "roll that beautiful bean footage".

15. Yep it was very underrated.....and it was extremely profound....

14. the most important film ever made about race in america.

in reflection, only "the birth of a nation" comes close.

[jus_the_facts]

16. I agree....takes you through all the emotions.....

....and like I said above....highly underrated!:)

12. Summer of Sam.

I remember the news reports as a child, my mom allowed me to watch the news with her at a very young age. I recall historical info which amazes ppl. Things like Gary Gilmore.
