Hm....I'd Say...


1. Menace II Society - If No Body Here Has Ever Watched This Movie, I Suggest You Watch It - Setting Is Watts, California From The Riots In The 60's To The Problems Still Facing Urban Life Up Till The Early 90's, Instant Classic.

2. Scarface - The Story Of One Mans Rise To Power & Fall. Another Instant Classic.

3. Boyz N The Hood - I Can Only Watch This Movie Once Really, But It Was Dope - Ice Cube Does Some Descent Acting, There's Some Very Dramatic Parts To The Film. I'm Sure Most People Watched This Allready.

4. Blood In, Blood Out - About Spanish Gangs Outside & Inside California Prison. Dope Movie, A Bit Long - But Awesome Regardless.

5. Juice - Tupac Does Some Sub-Par Acting But The Movie Is Nice Anyways. Tupacs Character Is a Dumb And Crazy Mother Fucker.

That's some violent shit.

Dont Be a Menace In South Central (or someting like that).... Yo.

The Best Urban/Hood Comedy Is The Original Friday Than Don't Be a Menace :).

One of the Better list is this one (not in any particular order):
Goodfellas
Mean Streets
Godfather II
Once upon a time in America
Scarface

The Untouchables.

A Clockwork Orange– numbers one two and three

Little Caesar

Key Largo

The Big Sleep

Once Upon a Time in America

Capone

Untouchables

Ghost Dog! He's a black man and a samurai! It doesn't get any better than that, I'm afraid. "What the hell a samurai doin' in the ghetto" you ask? Well I'll tell you, friend, he's kickin' some ass, that's what. Oh, that and teaching young girls to read (cuz he's got heart, brotha').

On another note I had a boyfriend when I was back in New York - he lived in Brooklyn and was really sort of the stereotypical Italian from Brooklyn and all, and he just hated it whenever I asserted that "Black is the new Italian" hehe. Think about it - the organized crime - the bling - the bad clothes. . . it's all there!

You guys ever seen Fresh? IF you can find a copy, watch it, it's absolutely out of control.

Ahhhrrrggg. Groan. :mad:

Everyone is automatically trotting out the standard American crap….

- Menace II Society???

- Boyz N The Hood???

- Blood In, Blood Out???

- Juice???

Oh puh-leese, give me a break! :rolleyes:

(But to be fair, films like Godfather, Scarface and Key Largo have been mentioned which are classics.)

If it’s violence you want, look no further than gangster/cop films that have come out of Hong Kong for the most graphic and intense violence I have ever seen in movies. The violence is often very ‘stylized’ but it still leaves you with your jaw on the ground. The early works of John Woo (ie. before the sell-out Hollywood version of John Woo when he was still making films in HK) spring to mind. It always amuses me when blinkered American film goers declare a US-made film to be “violent”. You ain’t seen nothing! :eek:
<P>

what?are you saying that us made films arent violent?

what?are you saying that us made films arent violent?
No I am not trying to say that. What I am saying is that (in reference to the portion of the thread title that mentions violent films) I do not think any US-made films would rank in a list of the Top 5 Most Violent Films (assuming that the list is open to films from any country).

That is all.
<P>

hmmm.,then i may be inclined to agree.i think ichi the killer would have to come in at number one for gore.but for sheer horribleness i think that irreversible and casino have to be there.two scenes which i find very hard to watch.

I would have to go with:

Scarface
Goodfellas (although it's not that violent)
Reservoir Dogs
Donnie Brasco I love Johnny Depp and Pacino

New one I liked

The Departed I love Jack!!

Meh, if you want quality gangsters just go watch The Wire.

Ghost Dog!

Band Of The Hand

Here's a great idea for reforming the juvenile justice system. Take a handful of the most hardened youthful criminals (who all look to be about 25 years old) and entrust them to the care of an ex-Marine who has no training at all in criminal justice. Have him take them to an isolated spot in the Everglades and teach them survival skills, including how to spear a wild pig. Make sure you give them just the right survival equipment, including one of those Rambo knives that were so popular during the 1980s (the kind my dad would never let me buy), because these violent youthful offenders would never use it against each other. Once they have learned to survive in the wilderness, they will naturally be rehabilitated and ready to release into Miami. Once they get there, the next natural course of action will be to involve them in a firefight against the local pimps and drug dealers in an effort to save the neighborhood.
