The cast, subtle brilliance and acting of 25th hour, the acting
of HE got game, the authenticity and camera work of Malcolm X,
The coolness and expressionism of Mo Betta,

25th Hour
He got game
Malcolm X
Mo Betta
She’s gotta have it

So you see why by the poster saying “easily his best” is such a huge disregard...
Spike got some absolute Gems, just brilliant work.

And my personal list is overlooking movies like Clockers, Crooklyn, Blackklansman ,Inside Man, etc.

Spike is so underrated, even by his own culture, is mind numbing. Dude if you were to put Woody Allen’s name on 25th hour or Martin Scorsesce on Inside Man...it would be nothing but high praise.
