14. Malcolm X Dreamed of a Great Public Service

In the Spike Lee joint, Malcolm X — which Denzel totally rocks as the lead character — there’s a scene in which Malcolm X’s house is firebombed. As he gathers his family on the curb and soaks in the disaster, Malcolm X cries for a neighbor to call 9-1-1. Unfortunately for the civil rights leader, 9-1-1 wasn’t established until three years after he was assassinated.
