No is not, and how socially significan those movies are is completely irrelevant. Also I don't know where are you getting from that Do the right thing is critically more acclaimed than 25th hour that is just not true, you are clearly basing your opinions only in the scores you see on metacritic, but time has passed, the same critics that said Pulp Fiction was shit now say is the best movie of the 90's, don't rely in old critics reviews when we talk about classics.

Do the Right Thing was critically acclaimed when it was first released it make the top spot on both Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert top ten movie list of 1989.

Of course It was aclaimed, and for good reasons, that's not the point, the thing is 25th hour is the most acclaimed out of his work nowadays, is the bigger classic now, and you shouldn't be relying on metacritic scores to judge the work of a director, have a real opinion instead, what you said about the Katrina documentary being his best work just because the score is higher was kind of dumb.
