spike lee has like 4 good films though…. this 4 are pretty special though. Do The RIght Thing is perfect as far as i am concerned. 25th hour has started to pick up esteem in recent years. havent seen Malcolm X in a minute but that shyt was a bit tooooo literal for my tastes but it works as far as time spanning epics go. and Inside Man showed he could do studio genre fare.
kubrick is a mount rushmore type entity so the comparison is silly. no disrespects to spike though.
