What are your top 5 Spike Lee joints

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

1. Do the Right Thing
2. Malcolm X
3. School Daze
4. Mo' Better Blues
5. Crooklyn

Yeah I do got a lot of love for He Got Game, Summer of SAM, Bamboozled, 25th Hour, Inside Man, School Daze and when The Levees Broke. Girl 6 is even decent. His only duds IMO are Miracle at Saint Anna and She Hate Me.
Spike is that dude, he deserves a lot more respect as a film maker.

Spike was on an INCREDIBLE run in the early 90s, year after year dropping heat...and he was lauded accordingly for it.

But he fell off, and the fact that it's been so long since he's had a great, true "Spike Lee Joint" is the only reason his perceived respect as a filmmaker isn't there.


And while it had it's faults, I liked She Hate Me.

I haven't seen enough Spike Lee-directed movies to even have a top 5.



I've only seen:

"Inside Man"
"He Got Game"
"Jungle Fever"

If I can include Spike Lee-produced movies, I'll add "The Best Man" and "Love & Basketball" to complete my Top 5.

The way Spike captured our complexity thru the lense, made a 90s kid proud to see US on the Silver Screen

...he was also the Executive Producer of Tales From The Hood: BLACKEXCELLENCE

Anyone see Spike produced movie "Drop Squad"? Pretty dope concept, movie was cool to.
