95 FILMES ESSENCIAIS POR SPIKE LEE

When he’s not crusading against gentrification or boycotting racist award ceremonies, Spike Lee can also be found lecturing at NYU. The Do The Right Thing director, who has been a professor at the heralded TISCH for over 13 years, holds some of the school’s most sought after classes – regularly bestowing his cinematic wisdom to New York’s next generation of filmmakers.

Luckily, Lee has made some allowances for those of us who can’t make it into that classroom. In a post shared on his blog a few years ago, the director revealed his list of “essential” films for students wanting to embark on a career in cinema. This includes gems from Alfred Hitchcock, Jim Jarmusch, Francois Truffaut and Roman Polanski. See below for the initial selection:
