Do the Right Thing, 1989
“Do the Right Thing,” a pioneering 1989 film by Spike Lee, is tragically still relevant today, but is also a stone cold classic. On a sweltering summer day in a Brooklyn neighborhood, racial tensions between the Italian-American proprietors of a pizzeria and the neighborhood’s African-American residents grow. As the film progresses to a tragic and violent conclusion that relates to race relations in America, the comedy is beautifully placed.
