Ben Kaplan of The Ampersand listed Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” on Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing” as the best of “The Five Best Movie Music Scenes of All-Time.”

“It plays throughout the movie, but I particularly like the opening credit sequence, just Rosie Perez dancing in her boxing gloves to Chuck D. and Flavor Flav’s militant, rebellious song. You watch those opening credits like, ‘Oh yeah, we’re in for a wild ride.’ Check out the scene of Radio Raheem talking about love and hate – you can hear Fight the Power in the background, no question Spike Lee wrote the movie to this song.”

Great Movie, Great Music. Spike was robbed, no Academy nomination for the a black man!
