Grandmaster Flash - White Lines (original video filmed by Spike Lee)

www.dailymotion.com/relev...ines_music

Seen quite some Grandmaster-clips on tv in the past, but this one surprisingly never, despite it's popularity back then.

I saw this years ago. It's a bit disturbing, then again the song is about drug addiction so it illustrates that perfectly.

I guess this must've been one of the very first projects of Spike.
About 2 years later he released his debutmovie "She's Gotta Have It".

Yeah, this is quite a trivia for me too....

I'm still searching for his thesis debut movie "Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads".

I read somewhere that he signed a deal with Criterion to remaster the film and release it among its collection of movies,,,,I also read that they'll include couple of old short films he shot @ that time.

I can't wait till it get released.

I'd suggest you do as well, its a good collection of extras that come with that DVD, Criterion is to DVD collections what LONGCHAMP is to high priced handbags.

p.s.... for what is worth, I never knew White Lines had a video as well, 85 was quite some time ago.

Tell me about it! I have SO many titles from them and THEY are considered exceptional in my DVD library...

Black Orpheus
Trouble In Paradise
Heaven Can Wait
The Lady Eve
Grey Gardens
Unfaithfully Yours
Eclipse Series - The Lubitsch Musicals Boxet
My Man Godfrey
Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One(One of my FAVE movies)


And many others.

I could think of afew movies that deserve the criterion treatment,,,,,esp black independent movies.
