- Spike Lee won: the film made his career, is one of the greatest movies the country has produced, and inspired generations to make movies.
- Lee lets actors from Edward Norton to his own sister give good performances.
- Clockers is a second-favorite Lee film with his greatest ending, solving Richard Price script problems with moral clarity, as in his Katrina documentary and 4 Little Girls.
- This is the film Lee should be proudest of: a perfect movie about an imperfect problem America will not solve, which people will still watch in 100 years.
