Just a month ago as we were watching Do the Right Thing (on MLK Day, as a matter of fact), I remarked to a friend that Ossie Davis is ageless. Sadly, this very talented man passed away last week.
Go rent his work and "always do the right thing".

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002; a brilliant B-movie with heart)
Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970; writer and director)
