Ugh, I feel all depressed from watching...

Throw Juice in there. That's doom-y.



Not a hood-movie per se (not an AA one, anyway), but did you ever see The Basketball Diaries? Jim Carroll fans don't seem to like it generally so far as I can tell, but it's a very decent flick for what it is (depressing, but edifying, too).

I do like it though didn't know anything about Jim Carroll before that. Definitely did depress me in the later parts of that movie.

Me either, man. The film made me aware and got me interested in dude.


I still think it's a solid flick watching it as an adult after digging on Carroll's stuff.

why dont you watch the parody version of those films?

... a hood movie marathon of Menace II Society, Boyz N The Hood and New Jersey Drive - all consecutively. :conf3: See I normally love watching this ****, but damn it can get depressing on overload.









Anyway, how about some more recommendations?

Not a movie, but nothing gets realer than the hood show "The wire"

The grimey Baltimore streets to the fullest..

South Central was great. :thumb1: I'll move onto Colors next, followed by I Got The Hook Up (here's hoping it's as funny as the Friday trilogy).

The most underated hood movie ever and a top 10 movie overall is "clockers" IMO. A movie from the old times that's hood is Bronx tale

[Blue Heffner]

Menace to Society is my favorite movie.

Roots........

I felt depressed and very sleepy after watching Ward-Green

How about Above the Rim?

Yeah that is pretty damn underrated, I haven't seen it in a while.
