25th Hour has the dubious (for me) distinction of being the first Spike Lee film I've ever seen, and the first film with Edward Norton in it I've ever seen (I even checked the imdb to be sure). It's excellent. I really liked the film--it was overall pretty gripping (although there were a few slow moments) and very well-acted, and I appreciated the post 9/11 NYC setting. It didn't do very well in it's theatrical run (about a year ago), but do yourself a favor and rent it.
