I quite like pretty much all of them, I just think he's a big talent whose time seems to have been and gone. Malcolm X was fine but he was clearly a bit overawed by the subject matter. I like Summer of Sam, too, even though it was a film that really only Scorsese (or at a push Abel Ferrara) should've been allowed anywhere near. I was probably a bit harsh in my initial post, I just can't stop thinking of him as being a bit of a yesterday man. Fair play to him, though, for keeping his career going.
