The best films to date from Spike Lee and one of Denzel Washington's best performances to date. And this is also one of the most snubbed films in the history of the Oscars, Washington's portrayal of Malcolm Little is far more prolific and memorable than Al Pacino's performance in Scent of A Woman.

Granted I love Pacino, but Washington was the far superior. Along with him, director Spike Lee was not even recognized for this epic biopic. Great setting, period dressing, cinematography, music compilation and original score, the overall cast and acting, this is a film that is in the forefront of all filmmaking, and should be noticed as such.
