What Is the Best Urban/Gang Type Movie?? - Blu-ray Forum

CZAR · 10-06-2009, 05:38 PM

Ok this one should be interesting. Please vote/choose the best or fav whatever works for u. Also list what is the worst one as well. I listed all the movies I felt qualify for what I am looking for and basing it on. I didnt list movies that were comedic, musicals, organized crime, or bad cops. I wanted to go with the serious gang movies with urban youth. If u feel I left out a movie that fits my criteria then just reply what it is, no need to call it out or ask why its not listed. I wont reply with an answer as I already explained here. But if the movie does fit the criteria and I left it off I will apologize early here. lol. Ok well here we go. My thoughts would be:

Best: Menace II Society/Boys N The Hood

Fav: Menace II Society

Worst: Original Gangstas

Thoughts? Got Em!!

It's a tough decision between Boyz in the Hood and American History X.

I think everyone should go rent baby boy its by far the least hyped movie of any on that list but its by far a top5 of this group.

1.Boyz in the Hood/ AH:X
2. Menace II Society
3. Baby Boy

Well it is in a way, I was 16 in those days, was my time, I relate to it. I don't really relate to the stuff of today, hip hop and all that clothing. I guess I am growing old. In the same way you could not relate too well to the gang movies of the 60's.

But it's your thread and your rules

so I will say American History X but that movie is scary
