Underrated Film. Great acting from everyone in it. Keith David really stood out

[candycane]

The two opening songs for the movie Clockers are so deep. The visuals are so tragic & touching. So many young people gunned down in the name of the game.

Never seen this before, highly illuminating and many ways, saddening because the problems discussed still persist. Thanks for sharing.

This was a great interview, l learned so much from this sit down.

Harvey Keitel was INCREDIBLE in Clockers!! Dont worry about DeNiro

[ibiggcvisuals]

This is a great movie ! - Got my original VHS copy looks as new as when I bought it on its release
I Saw it way back on its release back in the day - And was plesently suprised on how good it really was - In fact this movie - it got me into this Genre - ( Whatever you call this Genre?) To this Day latest one similar to this genre I watched and is still sittng in my didgibox is "Snowfall"
Followed Spike Lee from seeing this movie - He's a great movie maker ! But all now on Dvd !

I love the fact that Lee gets more heated about the Knicks than anything else in this interview

One of the kids in Clockers is from Bridgeport Connecticut.. I was in the barbershop as a youngin in 95 and they were clapping for the kids appearances and etc..

I swear Spike Lee is a fantastic and incredible director and actor who's so underrated. Also, I believe that all of his movies deserve Oscars, Best Actors, Supporting Actors, etc, etc, etc.

[tyzilla]

is how we should be having racial discussions here in 2019. I'm already past 30(trust me) and I'm glad I grew up in the era I did, but y'all younger people GOTTA realize there's alot to life, and there's always a chance at a NEW LIFE, as long as you're still breathing.

[Official_coffy]

Spike knows talent almost all his actors he hired are now academy award & Oscar award winning actors & actresses or gone on to do big things 🙌🏾

[dakritic]

Even Al Pacino knew he didn't deserve the Oscar that year.

[Princeallahagnew]

Dope movie man I luv dis joint me and pops used to watch this joint all da time classic from shout out to mekai phifer

[avaatkinson]

In my opinion, Mr. Spike Lee, is THE MASTER STORY TELLER. Well - But that's my story and I'm I'm sticking to it.

[claycall]

Coulda sworn Spike accidentally said Richard Pryor instead Price.
But rewinded and I was wrong :(
Interesting insightful comment huh?! Psyche lol

[QEsposito]

Man, imagine a Clockers director’s cut that includes all those scenes that they deemed good but had to be cut for time. Make it a little closer to the novel.

[checkthemikecrophone]

Would like to hear them explain the end was the detective shame that he made mistake trying to pen a crime on strike when strike didn’t kill anyone

[aye_jonesfkamarvel_jones]

I’m trying to imagine who Scorsese would have casted as Strike. I actually like the dynamic of Mekhi and ONYX etc being casted as the Clockers. These guys had the least experience playing against seasoned actors which was true for their characters. Guys who probably never left Brooklyn as opposed to guys who are experienced at what they do; Delroy as a kingpin, Keitel as a NYPD homicide detective, Keith David as a veteran beat cop

Weird that already in 1995, Spike Lee said that the "hood movies" are over.
