Thirty years ago, director Spike Lee released what at the time was his magnus opus...this highly ambitious biopic of the eponymous iconic civil rights leader played by Denzel Washington.  We are taken through the entire life of Malcolm and his journey from street gangster to prominent spokesman for the Nation of Islam.  His words and actions as an activist inspired millions while dividing many others.  This 190 minute epic received much acclaim and a couple of Oscar nominations, including Best Actor or Denzel who gave one of - if not THE best - performance of his career.  It also stars Angela Bassett, Albert Hall, and Al Freeman Jr.
