1. “THE 25th HOUR”

We didn’t expect Spike Lee to direct this crime drama about a man’s last 24 hours of freedom as he prepares to go to prison for seven years.

2. “S.W.AT.”

It took us a while to realize that Clark Johnson was the creative mind behind this action thriller.

3. “HOPE FLOATS”

This romantic drama seemed left-field as a directorial release from Forest Whitaker.

4. “2 FAST 2 FURIOUS”

Gray wasn’t the only Black director from this franchise. John Singleton gave us the second installment for those of us with a need for speed.

5. “FANTASTIC 4”

Did you know Tim Story was credited for directing the first two “Fantastic 4” films?
