    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.

      Clockers would've been way different with DeNiro as Rocco and Scorsese directing but as it is it's still in my top 5 Spike's.
      Plus Marty and DeNiro made Casino instead. Win Win.

    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 !

      If Martin Socorse woulda directed it like he was originally supposed to, it definitely woulda be nominated because it woulda been extremely different from what he’s made before. Instead he executive produced it and made Casino instead… which went on to be nominated for academy awards 😂😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️ 90s Hollywood game

    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
