Spike Lee is the greatest film maker of all time

--- Quote from: Hajj Ibrahim Islam on September 22, 2004, 09:00:09 PM ---Spike Lee is the greatest. He's the thinking man's film maker. If you watch one of his movies with your wife or one of your friends, you absolutely have to discuss and talk about the movie afterwards. He says that a great deal of his inspiration in film making comes from music, you can tell, because his love for music permeates throughout his films. His music is best for old school fans, he'll drop an old school jazz track, or hand over the whole soundtrack to Stevie Wonder (Jungle Fever) or Public Enemy (He Got Game) and it will all come out perfect. Right when he's got you caught up in the climax, in the greatest moment of suspense, he'll drop the slooowwweesst, most solemn song you've ever heard.
He's a throwback, his films are always relevant to today's time's but they are always 'grown up' films, intellectual (Bamboozled), groundbreaking (Do the Right Thing), and often he'll hit you with a masterpiece (Malcolm X). Even his worst movies (He Got Game, 25th Hour, Summer of Sam), you still don't regret watching, because it gave you a perspective on life that you may not have had before you went into the movie. I'm saying this, and I still have only seen half of this man's movies. I'll post up some of my favorites later.

Please tell me you're kidding me. He's a great director, but 'no director can compare to his legacy' ? What the hell are you smoking. Why does everyone forget every person that's ever lived on the earth, up until the moment they're born?

Im talking about current directors. I dont think we can compare old ass directors to the new ones in the first place. Total different things to work with.

On The Edge of Insanity:
Spike Lee is very dope, but even without really thinking about it I can name Lynch, Scorcese and Tarantino that I would put above him. Would probably be in my top ten though.
