#232. 25th Hour
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/24/25th_Hour_Poster.jpg
Dir: Spike Lee
Genre: Drama
Year 2002

Speaking of post-9/11 films, I struggle to think of another movie that captures New York City better after the World Trade Center attacks than 25th Hour. It also happens to be Spike Lee's best and most underrated "joint."

25th Hour is peak Ed Norton doing peak Ed Norton things. Set in a single day before he is set to go to prison, it is a wonderful reflection on friendship and loyalty. Almost like a grimmer and grimier Stand by Me. It also has one of the more heartbreaking conclusions in recent memory. I don't recommend watching this unless you're in a certain kind of mood.
