Re: Oliver Stone or Spike Lee?
Tough call, but Spike Lee has a film in my all time top 5 with "Do the Right Thing" and I can't even think of an Oliver Stone film for a top 10.

Spike Lee. While I don't always agree with his opinions, his films are some of my all-time favorites.

JFK is in my top 10 of all-time. I really love his vietnam trilogy, Talk Radio, Salvador and Nixon.
My favorite Lee films are Do The Right Thing, 25th Hour and Clockers.
Stone gets the nod.

Stone's stretch from 1986 through 1997 is one of the strongest runs by a director ever:
Salvador (1986), Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Talk Radio (1988), Born on the Fourth of July (1989), The Doors (1991), JFK (1991), Heaven & Earth (1993), Natural Born Killers (1994), Nixon (1995), U Turn (1997)
11 consecutive well made, impressive movies in a 12 year stretch. Robert Richardson was a major factor as well.
