We depend too much on these white awards tbh. We need our own awards. Who the F was Oscar anyway ??? Plus The design Of the Oscar award was inspired by Ptah, a Black deity of ancient Egypt. The last thing black America needs is that award. It's pretentious.

And Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X are 'subtle'? Also I like how you're complaining about lack of subtlety in a Spike Lee movie.

Blackkklansman was AMAZING! Adam Driver and John David Washington did amazing!! I love Adam Driver and I was soooo happy to have people see what a great actor he is and versatile. He's amazing and such a great guy.

Spike Lee: My all-time favorite director. My favorite “joints” by him are: 10. Mo’ Better Blues 9. School Daze 8. Jungle Fever 7. Clockers 6. He Got Game 5. Get on the Bus 4. Crooklyn 3. BlaKKKlansman 2. Malcolm X 1. Do the Right Thing

it needs another top 10 spike lee movies.. a lot of movies left out (School Daze/Mo’ Better Blues/Bamboozled, for example)

I like this list. Thanks Watchmojo ❤️

Summer of Sam and Clockers would replace Chiraq and Inside Man personally. Love Spike Lee!

Awesome Content, Spike Lee is The Boss!

I watched Jungle Fever when I was in college. We had to write an essay on stereotypes - I'm so glad my teacher introduced me to the film. I watched Blackkklansman today - brilliant film

The fact that Chi-Raq is on this t list makes this list INVALID

I like how watchmojo used spike’s technique and renamed “film” to “joint” in the video title

Inside Man is in my Top 10 of all time. Its refreshing to see a Hero and Villain on the same level, plus its just such a satisfying film with excellent twists and payoffs

The background music is soothing

I just watched BlackKklansman last week and it’s probably one of my favorite movies.

I don't know why he did Oldboy remake. He has much more potential. Good list watchmojo! I hope someday I could come up with great lists like you guys :)

Where is School Daze?

This list is tripping. School Daze and Mo Betta Blues, and When the Levees Broke should’ve made the list.

Great title

Mo Better Blues is too underrated.

Love Spike or Hate him. You can’t deny his films got STYLE. Especially Do the right thing. Instant classic

I've seen a lot of movies in my lifetime. Chi-Raq is one of the most boring things ever

Chi Raq off the list Crooklyn on

Good list can't believe Mo better Blues wasn't mentioned or Crooklyn even School Daze should had been on the list.

School Daze doesn't even make the list?

The lady in "She's Gotta Have It" looks like Nas' ex Kelis, she's beautiful. Malcolm X is Spike's greatest work.

Number 1 and 2 are correct. But 25th Hour should have been 3.

25th Hour is a masterpiece. Blackkklansman was my favorite movie of 2018. The man is a Legend

Always have respect for spike lee

I was so worried 25th hour wouldn't be on the list. One of my favourite movies from spike Lee.

So chi-raq makes the list and Mo betta blues doesn’t even get mentioned? Just horrible
