51864, So I'm crying, watching Malcolm X
Posted by Nettrice, Thu Jun-23-11 11:56 AM
Again. After all this time Spike Lee's film still brings me to tears. In the theater I had to be consoled by strangers. No other film has ever made me get so emotional. I forget how much Spike Lee struggled to get the film made but it remains for the ages. The film has flaws but overall, it's a triumph IMHO.

I can't think of any other films right now with a commercial/mainstream release that have honored a Black leader, hero, or heroine in such an epic way.

Any others I'm missing?
