This was a lot of work last time, but it could pay off come next February.

I seem to be the only one so for. But I'll add the others I mentioned John Singleton, Antoine Fuqua.

John Singleton made one decent movie.

How the hell does that equate to great?

Spike Lee is the "greatest" black filmmaker.

And if he were white he'd probably only be Joel Schumacher.

I have enjoyed every one of Antoine Fuquas movies.


Serious question: does Spike Lee get a lot of praise because he's really a great director, or because he's a black director that made one great movie and a bunch of mediocre movies?

Tyler Perry , I know you guys give him a lot of shite, but he is a good filmmaker . I enjoy almost all of his films.

r u serious? the names I listed are who I think are the best out there because it's a short list. besides, I'm the only damn one listing names, nobody else including yourself has listed any damn thing except critiques.

great for him because it jump started his career. but you're right the rest of his films have been just average, I just threw his name in there as a bonus.
