Every Spike Lee Movie, Ranked
Updated 9/11/20 to add American Utopia.
Spike Lee's new Netflix film Da 5 Bloods has been earning mostly terrific reviews, but where does it rank among the veteran director's best films? In the gallery above, we rank every feature directed by Lee in order by Metascore (reflecting the consensus of top professional film critics) from worst to best.
Note that a few made-for-television films are not included because there were not enough reviews available to calculate a Metascore. These include Spike Lee & Company: Do It a Cappella (1990), Sucker Free City (2004), Kobe Doin' Work (2009), and 2 Fists Up (2016).
Set during the summer of 1977 when David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz’s killing spree spread paranoia through New York, this 1999 release focuses on an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx. The cast is led by John Leguizamo as a philandering hairdresser, Mira Sorvino as his wife, and Adrien Brody as a punk-loving stripper who becomes the neighborhood outcast.
“It's a kaleidoscope of ideas that range from exciting to silly and gaudy.” —Liam Lacey, The Globe and Mail
