Suffice to say, Lee belongs in the pantheon of American filmmakers. But which films and filmmakers influenced him? I found this little nugget on Reddit. it’s a list of films that Lee deems to be most essential for every inspiring director to see. I do love the inclusion of Paul Schrader’s “Blue Collar” in here. Some of the list reads like film school 101 minus the silent era, but the majority of these are excellent selections. I personally wouldn’t put “Kung-Fu hustle” and “District 9” on mine, but to each their own! That’s why they call ‘em lists! [Source]. Contribute Hire me
