Poll question: Best Spike Lee Joint
What's the best Spike Lee movie?

If it's different from you're favorite, what's the story?

(I had to leave some out. School Daze, 25th Hour because it's new, the documentaries.... Just pick "Other" and name you're fave.)

1. Always wondered: Why "Joint"?
What does that mean?

7. Not sure
I think it is a play on joint production, the way Spike's movies are made.

It's also like a recommended way to get high and wake up to reality, which fits into Spike's anti-drugs message.
