Ichi the Killer. Gozu.
lol That movie is ACE, son!
Don't spill your juice in south central while walking through the hood (or something)
I wanna watch one now, are there any decent ones I won't have seen?
Off the top of my head I can think of Fresh, Juice, MenaceIISociety, BoyzndaHood and New Jack City
what are the other gooduns?
are there any that are actually good instead of just cheesy fun?
Boyz N Tha Hood is the best film of that lot.
American Me is about the latino side of things, but it's pretty cheesy.
Lepechaun in the hood.
Bugsy Malone - but it does tend to glamourise it somewhat
Things to do in Denver when your Dead (though I don't think that technically is a gangster movie but Walken is great).
Belly is superb, really dark and it certainly helps if you know your hip-hop as it makes loads of references to various tunes.
boyz in the hood is ridiculously cheesy
ice cube is good in it, but it's a bit of a mess when you watch it back now
fresh is one i remember liking cos it was a bit darker but i haven't seen it for years and years so that might be the same
belly is not good. honestly
what about that bit where he has to kill the reverend
'we were gonna go to africa' etc etc
proper rubbish
method man is fucking brilliant in it tho
Adulthood and Kidulthood are embarrassing tryhard shite stuffed with faux grit and the stink of dishonesty.
is a south African gangster in a similar vein to city of god but more cold bloodied (really) and motional too
