Spike’s “Do The Right Thing”
Last year, the 20 year anniversary of Spike Lee’s terrific film, “Do The Right Thing”, was celebrated with a special 2 disc DVD package containing extra footage, interviews, and new commentary by the director. 
Director Lee has made so many films since 1989, but, “Do” is his most celebrated film so far – it came in # 96 in the 2007 American Film Institute list of the 100 best movies of all time. The movie tells the story of a hot day in Brooklyn’s Bed’Stuy, when pent up anger, and resentment combust into violence in a matter of minutes.
The stellar cast includes Spike Lee, Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn, John Turturro, Rosie Perez, Martin Lawrence (film debuts for both Rosie and Martin).
