  • Love him or hate him, most can agree that Spike Lee is one of the most talented, as well as polarizing filmmakers ever.

Lee appeared on Sesame Street in 2000 to direct "Summer of Snuffy," a spoof of his film Summer of Sam. In it, Snuffy is directed to act sad when Big Bird can't play cabbage volleyball with him at the beach. Unfortunately for Lee, Snuffy's personality won't break from his happy disposition. This leaves the director frustrated enough to strap on a snuffle and play the role himself.
  • Lee's thesis film, Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads was to be the first student film to be showcased in Lincoln Center's New Directors New Films Festival, though it was quickly revoked of that honor when it was discovered that the film featured an unreasonable amount of blood and gore, mostly relating to the vicious decapitations Joe and his minions perform on unsuspecting patrons looking for a trim or a shave. Spike Lee begins the opening credits in his films with the phrase "A Spike Lee Joint." This is a tribute to his passion for marijuana.

In 1986 Lee's first feature film The Highlander made its debut. Starring Sean Connery and That Guy, The Highlander made a bajillion dollars in the box office and went on to win the 1986 academy award for Best Movie Ever Forever. He went on to make other movies but none were near as awesome as Highlander so people didn't really care as much. In 2006 Lee will be directing the NBC legal drama Shark, starring James Woods as a Great White Shark who has dreams of becoming a lawyer, but is repeatedly thrown out of court after gruesomely devouring his clients. Spike Lee begins the opening credits in his films with the phrase "A Spike Lee Joint." This is a tribute to his passion for marijuana.

  • Love him or hate him, most can agree that Spike Lee is one of the most talented, as well as polarizing filmmakers ever. Known for being opinionated both through his work as well as his own voice regarding issues of politics and race, Lee tends to create pieces that usually tend to make the average person think, though the message is either wasted on some, or totally misinterpreted by others sometimes. Anything dubbed "A Spike Lee Joint" can come off as somewhat heavy-handed or preachy, but it's all within the context that's it's viewed. Throughout the 90s, he made at least one film a year. This didn't carry through into the 00s, however. Twenty Fifth Hour is often cited as one of his best films, but his next film, She Hate Me, is considered one of his worst. His next film, Inside Man, was his biggest hit yet. At that same time, he made the acclaimed documentary When the Levees Broke. Despite this, he still had trouble getting two projects off the ground-a James Brown biopic and a film about the L.A. riots. When he did make another film, WWII tale Miracle at St. Anna, it was a commercial failure and received mixed reviews among critics. Most recently, he has been chosen to direct an English-language remake of the South Korean thriller Oldboy. He frequently acted in his earlier films. He played the lead role of Mookie in Do the Right Thing and major supporting roles in Malcolm X, Girl 6, and Mo' Better Blues. One character he played, Mars Blackmon from She's Gotta Have It, also appeared in ads for Nike.
