#840. Do The Right Thing (1989)
Why It's In The Book: "Spike Lee’s social protest film Do the Right Thing brilliantly captures that moment when rap was urgent and conscious… Incendiary and insightful, it’s a film born of hip-hop, when hip-hop had something to say…
Controversial and frequently misrepresented by detractors (many of whom claimed that the film was a call to riot), Do the Right Thing is an unapologetic angry film…. Shot in bright colors that all but pop off the screen, filled with slightly skewed camera angles often suggesting the freewheeling style of comic books, and edited to reflect the energetic thrust of the most propulsive rap track, Do the Right Thing has become one of the most influential movies in the history of filmmaking, not only for its stylistic flourishes, but for giving filmmakers permission to draw from experiences of lives previously ignored or distorted in both Hollywood and so-called independent film. It dares you to dismiss it." -1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

Movie Guy Steve - 10/10
"This is a film that demands not only to be watched, but to be discussed, at length, and with a mind toward frankness and openness on all sides. Put bluntly, this is Spike Lee’s best and most thought-provoking film."

"Do the Right Thing is aptly named. Whether the title comes across as a gentle, sensible reminder or a scolding rebuke probably rests on the person reading or hearing it."

Kim Wilson - 7/10
"When I watch Do the Right Thing now I get a little aggravated at the mixed message that Lee delivers. There’s no doubt that this is a powerful film, but now nearing the age of 25, its message has not aged well."
