*MALCOLM X is presented as part of our Spike Lee & Denzel Washington Guest Selects for their new film, **[HIGHEST 2 LOWEST](http://drafthouse.com/show/highest-2-lowest)**.* In 1992, Spike Lee released a juggernaut of a biopic with this 202-minute celebration of the life of Malcolm X, played with ferocity by Denzel Washington (who was nominated for an Oscar for his performance). More than three decades later, it remains one of Lee's most powerful films – epic in both scope and subject and still as timely as it was when released.
