Probably Spike Lee's best film, and it wasn't even nominated.

What was nominated: Born on the Fourth of July, Dead Poets Society, Field of Dreams, and My Left Foot. All fine films, but nothing comparable in scope to Do The Right Thing. I'd watch this ten times before I'd ever watch Driving Miss Daisy again.
