    The way he presents our existence in this country is like a time capsule. You font get this raw truth on tv. Who woulda think that kids in the projects are actually jus ? kids, as this movie shown, vs mindless animals which this cop and america thinks


    More important director

    okay FINE!

    Outside of Malcolm X, I never really been a fan of Spike. I'd rather watch a John Singleton (boyz in the the hood/higher learning/baby boy) or Hughes Brothers(dead presidents/menace to society/American ? ) film before a Spike film.


    With that said, Malcolm X is in my top 5 of alltime.

    Tino.

    Lee never made a good movie.

    All he ever does is Jim Kelly knock offs.

    Can't vote. Both are influential and amazing film makers. Both have classics and different filming voices Pulp Fiction Do The Right Thing, Reservoir Dogs, 25th Hour, Clockers, Django Unchained, Inglorious ? ,Clockers,Jackie Brown. It's two hard to favor one over the other.

    This is comparing apples and oranges

    But let me see...

    For me...

    Spikes best flick is X...for obvious reasons

    QTs best film is Jackie Brown

    X>>>Jackie Brown...its the directors most mature and organic work

    So its Spike is the better film maker

    I don't think QT has an "X" in him, while i feel Spike could out Jackie Brown a "Jackie Brown"

    Than spikes "X" and "Crooklyn" are two of my fav movies of all time

    Malcolm X is very good film & definitely his most important film. But its definitely not Spikes best from a filmmaking standpoint.

    I'm not even gonna type a lot but I'm going with Spike just based off originality in his filmmaking compared to QT who's borrowed from film genres..


    However QT's movies are like events in themselves when released and are enjoyable to watch (mostly under the influence); he's an auteur

    ^^ go to 0:33
    And apparently Tarantino is a fan. LOL

    Like i said its definitely his most important and significant film. But its a 3 and half hour docu-drama.

    It doesn't have the replay value of a Do the Right Thing, Clockers, or Crooklyn.

    Here is 3 mins that could have been trimmed from the film

    Not saying its not a great film. I own it and it should be required viewing but IMO not hit most enjoyable work

    Yep. They both rep the same city (NY) and Scorsese has produced one of Spike's films (Clockers). I believe they'd be a level of respect and admiration for each other's work




    Spike calls his films "joints" and has his production company named after refrences and terms used in the Jim Crow era. Plus the moving 'Doll Technique' he uses in his films are all signature to his originality IMO

    I went with QT.

    The best movie of all of them is MALCOLM X.

    But Spike have movies that I absolutely hated. And QT has not made a movie I didn't enjoy yet.
