Why doesn't Spike Lee get more credit for jumpstarting the careers of so many actors?

Was miracle at st Anna really that bad?

I remember having a couple issues with it(mainly the unnecessary love triangle)
But otherwise I don't see why it gets panned to the extent it does.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Was it a bit long and bloated? Yeah. Could the editing have been better? Yeah.

But it had my interest the whole way. Even when Spike is a bit off his game, there is a certain level of substance and quality in his work. I never feel like I wasted my time or didn't get anything out of the movie.

I admit that I haven't seen She Hate Me


But here's a list of Spike Lee movies that I have seen, that range from mixed bags to classics. All are, in my opinion, worth watching.


She's Gotta Have It
Do the Right Thing
Mo Better Blues
Jungle Fever
Malcolm X
Clockers
He Got Game
Summer of Sam
Bamboozled
25th Hour
Inside Man
Miracle at St. Anna
Oldboy


I know I'm forgetting some

Spike in documentary mode is great as well
From four lititle girls
To the hurricane katrina
The ones that cover Michael Jackson bad and especially the off the wall

 

[King Poetic]

clockers was my shyt. can watch that all day

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

I love Mo' Betta Blues. It's a dikk thang!

But Inside Man is one of my all-time faves likely tied with Inception as all-time fave.
