Completely agree with you on the Damon Wayans peformance. It very ill-conceived. I think the end credits to that movie makes its point better than the actual movie that preceded it.

It's close to a great movie that never settles on a tone. <br /><br />Also, you really don't need to see She Hate Me. Like the XFL that gave the movie its name, it's a stumble best forgotten.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867827164062216789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-63296392327615907962015-01-22T14:41:15.563-06:002015-01-22T14:41:15.563-06:00Cool!

I didn't include 4 Little Girls just because it opens the floodgates of all the concert movies and docs he's done as well.

It screams Spike and Theresa Randall is really good (and freakin' gorgeous) in it. <br /><br />I guess your not including "4 Little Girls" but that's a great one, too. My top 5 are Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, Bamboozled, Mo' Better Blues and Summer of Sam. Girl 6 is #6.Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-43221752469232675492015-01-22T14:31:25.531-06:002015-01-22T14:31:25.531-06:00Holy crap guys - I may have seen a couple others a...Holy crap guys - I may have seen a couple others at some point but I only really remember seeing <i>Malcolm X</i> (but way back when it first came out so I really should watch it again), <i>Inside Man</i> and <i>Oldboy</i>. I will use your list as a guide, Adam and start with the Top 2 per John's suggestion.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114869401584310369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-6699062827882508492015-01-22T14:03:03.286-06:002015-01-22T14:03:03.286-06:00In my estimation, if nothing else, I strongly enco...In my estimation, if nothing else, I strongly encourage you to see Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X, Sol.

I use to be a much bigger fan than I am now as I agree with what you said (or maybe Patrick) in the podcast, that his latter films have been mostly unimpressive and, oddly, uninventive. "Da Sweet blood..." sounds visually interesting at the very least.Chaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696179838579647187noreply@blogger.com
