Do the Right Thing as 'Buggin' Out' and then Spike Lee's follow-up film Mo' Better Blues.
It's funny, but in his first three Spike Lee films he plays variations on the same type of overzealous comical character, but whereas in DTRT, he's a would-be black militant, in School Daze he's a white wannabe and in Mo' Better Blues he's constantly being mocked by his bandmates for dating a white girlfriend and being an apologist for white people.
Going back, he's also great in Taps and Trading Places, but I only really noticed those appearances after I'd seen DTRT.
