Spike Lee's intense 1989 film Do the Right Thing was a seminal achievement. An ambitious, aggressive, stark look at American race relations and how we approach or ignore them until they reach a breaking point, Do the Right Thing has informed Lee's work ever since, for better or worse. When Lee's on, his films match the level set by "DTRT" (Crooklyn, Malcolm X). When he's not, his films suffer (Bamboozled)
