Malcolm X (1992)
"When it was released in ’92, Spike Lee’s Malcolm X was not only a movie but a movement. Suddenly kids in the neighborhood were proudly wearing baseball caps and sweatshirts emblazoned with that giant “X,” and Alex Haley’s 1965 biography, upon which the film is based, became a must-read. Because finally, we saw the celebration of a civil rights hero different from the ones we learned about in school — an icon who, as played by Denzel Washington in an Oscar-worthy performance, was fiery, fearless and free-thinking." —Dawnie Walton, Managing Editor, ESSENCE.com
