Showroom Classics: Do The Right Thing
In the height of Summer, tensions rise between Salvatore "Sal" Fragione, the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn, and Buggin’ Out, a neighbourhood local who becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria's Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors.
Buggin' Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighbourhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees.
The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin' Out and to other people in the neighbourhood, and tensions rise.
Written and directed by Spike Lee, the film was nominated for multiple Academy Awards and is often sited as one of the greatest films of the past 50 years.
In 1999, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress, and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
