Spike Lee
Born: 1957
The director whose bedroom must resemble SpecSavers and Niketown. Lee has made several provocative movies since his film school debut, She's Gotta Have It. Do The Right Thing and Get On The Bus stand out among his overtly political projects. Girl 6 and Summer Of Sam - whose orgy scene made Eyes Wide Shut seem like Songs Of Praise - are both enjoyable. Lee has worked with some great actors, including Ossie Davis and John Turturro. The loyalty he inspires among them suggests that the hostility he regularly displays in interviews is reserved for uppity critics.
