Whenever I see a list with that many movies I have seen on it, I KNOW it’s a lousy list.

I’m actually a little surprised that Do The Right Thing isn’t higher on the list. The film opened up levels of conversation and debate people were ignoring at the time (and have gone back to ignoring today, unfortunately).
Spike Lee may not have had the smoothest touch as a director, but he knew what should have been said, from his own point of view. The movie’s tense as hell and really holds up these years later.
