Spike Lee Joint Collection (Clockers/ Jungle Fever/ Do the Right Thing/ Mo` Better Blues/ Crooklyn)

Unbelievable he priced it so low. Fantastic job 👏

This would be a steal at twice the price. I don't know what possessed Spike Lee to offer five of his best movies at such a low price. Do the Right Thing is a brilliant movie, capturing both the rhythms and tensions of Lee's beloved Brooklyn, which he would return to time and again. Lee is at his best when avoiding the polemics and sticking to character-driven movies. Jungle Fever and Mo' Better Blues stand out in this regard, because they are first and foremost about people. Jungle Fever introduced the great Samuel L. Jackson, as well as launched Wesley Snipes in an intense social drama which revolves around an inter-racial love affair. Jackson stole most of the scenes however as the drug-addled brother who simply couldn't get his act straight no matter how hard he tried. Mo' Better Blues exposed Lee's love for jazz. Moody and atmospheric, with Denzel Washington delivering a solid performance, the film tries to recapture the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance. Clockers was his crime drama with plenty of tension. Crooklyn revolved mostly around amusing family disputes, with Alfre Woodard as a strong mother figure. It was probably the least satisfying of the five, but fun to watch just the same. Lee embelishes his movies with such rich cinematic color, and offers numerous fascinating camera angles such as his now famous walking scenes in Jungle Fever. Not since Gordon Parks, had someone done so much for black cinema, rescuing it from the blaxploitation films of the 70's.

I love how 5 of these movies combined! The best three I like out of five is "Do the right thing!" 5 stars for that!The next one was "Mo better Blues!" I give it about 5 stars as well!The other movie was "Jungle Fever!" I like the movie and it was kind of funny! But the way it ended is very tragic and very confusing! I had to give this one 3 1/2 stars this time!The other movie was "Crooklyn!" The movie was straight and it ended pretty good! I give this one 5 stars as well!The other movie "Clockers" was straight! It kind of ended in a way. But not as decent like I thought it would be. I give this movie about 4 1/2 stars.I got to admit; some of Spike Lee movies are not that good! Except for Malcolm-X, Do the right thing, Mo better blues, Crooklyn, and the 25th hour!But other than that I like this whole DVD collection! A perfect gift for somebody who is a fan of Spike Lee!Thanks Amazon!Dee Smalls!Representing: Decatur,GA!

Hard to put into words how good this is. Price makes it a steal but the movies are worth a lot more. Spike Lee offers an educated look at race, religion and society that is oft overlooked in today's world of Meet the Browns and Madea. A few people believe Spike Lee was too critical regarding Tyler Perry but I think Mr. Lee has every right to attack the pop culture product that Perry pushes.So far I've watched Crooklyn, Jungle Fever, and Mo Betta Blues. (I will update with the other reviews)CROOKLYNNot my favorite movie. Good movie and pulls at your heart strings at the end. In depth look at life in the city.MO BETTA BLUESGreat movie. Life through the eyes of a dedicated musician. The ending was kind of unbelievable to me at least but still a great movie.JUNGLE FEVERSnipes' character rises above society's racism/inability to take responsibility for their actions (ie his parents that blame the devil and his brother that blames drugs) only to later fall victim to it through experiences and biases. Reads like a Shakespearean tragedy.

I loved every single one of these movies and I was affected deeply by each one. I love Spike Lee’s film so it was great to pick this up at such a great price if you like his movies you can’t afford to pass up this deal. At all great films as well.

Good price for vintage dvds

Jungle Fever plays like a bootleg version

These five films make a fine introduction to the early work of Spike Lee, one of the most exciting directors working today, a man who has remained true to his cinematic vision. In the 80s and 90s, Lee was working with top talent, including such icons as Halle Berry, Wesley Snipes, and Samuel L. Jackson. This compact box set really captures the cream of black motion pictures during that period.The quality of the DVDs matches that of the films, but please be advised that this set includes no extras. Also, the collection contains two double-sided discs (Clockers and Jungle Fever are on opposite sides of Disc 1; Do the Right Thing and Mo' Better Blues are on opposite sides of Disc 2; Crooklyn is on Disc 3). Still, you can't beat the value!

10/10

Super belle collection des films de Spike Lee

Classic Lee films.

Ho visto la recensione di un'altro cliente ma non ci ho voluto credere, un pò perchè non chiara e un pò perchè non potevo credere che amazon non avesse corretto la descrizione prodotto! Comunque rimane il fatto che nel box di traccia audio Italiana e sottotitoli, c'è solo il secondo film, cioè Mò better blues e tra l'altro in 2.0 e non in 5.1 come riportato nella fittizia descrizione di amazon! Gli altri quattro film non hanno ne audio italiano ne sottotitoli Italiani. GRANDE DELUSIONE!!!

All ace films. Happily revisited.
