Malcolm X (1992) -- S. Lee
Long, but gripping bio-pic (following the tried and true formula). I enjoyed the few Spike Lee flourishes (and a role for himself) even after reading that others thought they detract. A bit of a history lesson for me -- seems reasonably even-handed, siding with the more tolerant Malcolm X post-Nation of Islam... but not letting up on the issue of institutionalized (and personal) racism. Perhaps I would have wanted even more philosophy and less of the early years... (but I was looking to get educated). (2008 review).
