What's the best hood movie of all-time?

[Black_Panther_JS]

it's a tie bewtween Menace and Boyz n the Hood

those are my 2 favorite movies OAT

but if i had to choose i'd watch Menace

New Jack and Juice both in my top 10 movies OAT too

No, Paid In Full can stay

Movie has been real influential

I can't pick one but my top 3 are

Paid In Full
Boyz N the Hood
Baby Boy

doesn't matter to me either way - just put up Belly

We should be allowed to pick more than 1 in the poll

 

[TEH]

City of God is by far the best on that list but isn't a hood movie imo

Not an American hood movie. I guess it's a Favela movie.

hood movies are movies popular in hoods, not just set in the hood.

Killa Season

I love Killa season for what it is but "BEST".

 

[Reflected]

Boyz n the Hood, Paid in Full, or Friday. Why is Friday not up there? lol Is this limited to movies produced in America? I see City of God up there.

 

[Remote]

City of God was the most overrated hood movie I've ever seen.

As much as everyone loves it, I saw it as nothing but violence for the sake of violence.
The only reason I suspect critics loved it was because it was very gritty for its time.

But the story of violence and friends taking different paths in life is something that A LOT of other movies have done A LOT better.

I'd pick Boyz N the Hood or Menace II Society.

 

[A1aaa]

boyz in the hood or new jack city.

honorable mentions:
baby boy
belly
juice
paid in full
shottas

But I say Boyz N The Hood would probably be the best. nikkas still can't get over Ricky

Anybody remember strapped?


Thank goodness you didn't add jasons lyric.

New jack city best soundtrack hands down. Movie isn't as good to watch now.

Menace probably my fave.
