401306, You coming at the wrong dude trying tell me the merits of Spike.

I'm a avid Spike fan. If he makes a shit film, I'll say it though. And won't defend it to no end like some folks will. Or if his movies don't get lauded with awards I don't cry racism. Him winning an Oscar is not going to make me recognize him as a Great director, because he already is one. In my opinion Spike has made 3 GREAT films:
Do The Right Thing
Malcom X
The 25th Hour
And a handful of really good films:
School Daze
Mo Better
Jungle Fever
Bamboozled
Crooklyn
Some of the others are just okay. And only maybe 1 or 2 suck like "She Hate Me" for example.
He's got a much better percentage than most directors. And you can put his catalogue up against just about anybody.
