    he has more misses than hits, but i’m not gonna scrutinize a black director unless its tyler perry

    Wanna list them? Because I don’t see that at all and it’s pretty disrespectful to apply this ‘leeway bc he’s black’ narrative to a legitimately consistent af creative- even if you didn’t mean any slight

    There’s Miracle at St Anna (for most) and Oldboy, but he has waaaay more good or solid movies than ‘misses’ imo

    She’s gotta have it
    Do the right thing
    Malcolm X
    He got game

    all classics and bring something unique to the table

    Good topic for discussion but nah Spike is legendary

    Only movie I disliked of his was Chiraq. Not wasting my time watching a remake of Oldboy though.

    You mean the kinda corny dialogue and everything?

    corny dialogue, distracting camerawork, mismanagement of the actors in any given scene, and long overall length (pause)

    Nah, his movies are pretty good, some even more than that. Do The Right Thing is a masterpiece in my opinion, not only because of its importance, but also from a filmmaking perspective.

  • Jul 28, 2020

    He has a very big filmography and while he got as many, if not more, misses than hits (which is fairly common with a lot of "legendary" filmmakers such as Ridley Scott, Francis Ford Coppola, Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, list goes on and on), he also has given us:

    Clockers
    She Gotta Have It
    Do The Right Thing
    Malcolm X
    Inside Man
    25th Hour
    Crooklyn
    He Got Game
    4 Little Girls
    When the Levee Breaks
    Get On the Bus
    Da 5 Bloods
    Blackkklansman

    And many other films which people feel were unfairly judged at the time of their release. Just seems weird to me that there would be any real doubts being put on the fact that Spike Lee is clearly a legend.
