3. I just watched Crooklyn.
Great take on a coming of age story.

The man's a genius.

Oh, and I need to get the soundtrack.

6. My favorite is "Do the Right Thing."
I know that's not everybody's favorite, but I loved the way he set Danny Aiello free of what could have been a very stereotypical role.

One of the things that striking about Lee's movie is that everybody is really alive down to the last detail.

He is one of the greatest filmakers there is.
