Fresh is the best "hood movie" ever
let's talk about this. Classic movie. Fresh setting up all the dealers against one another was so well orchestrated.

Duly Noted. Though I think Fresh is better. Both are excellent films to watch.Paragraph President wrote:I dunno about "best" but probably the most brilliant and intriguing.
The "best" is probably "Menace II Society" which is coincidentally also one of the most idiotic movies ever made.

Clockers is miles better than Fresh; it's better directed, has better acting, and is working with much better script by Richard Price. A lot of dialogue in Fresh feels contrived and (no ) feels like it was written by an out of touch white dude.
The Corner, directed by Charles S. Dutton and written by the writers of The Wire >>> any hood movie every made though. It features the kid that starred in Fresh, only he's older. You should check it out Mag.

I nver saw the Clockers, I've been meaning to rent it for a while though.Icesickle wrote:Clockers is miles better than Fresh; it's better directed, has better acting, and is working with much better script by Richard Price.

I saw every episode of that mini series The Corner atleast 10 times. And I watched every epsiode of the Wire as well. Both are tremendous. But they don't count as films.

I really think you're a faggot. Not in the figurative sense. I hope you get gaybashed.Icesickle wrote:Clockers is miles better than Fresh; it's better directed, has better acting, and is working with much better script by Richard Price.

Clockers is a dope movie, yes... but it lacks the romanticism that makes a hood movie a real hood movie.
A movie just being set in the hood does not a hood movie make.

i really love the chess metaphor throughout and how you don't quite realize what he's doing until it all comes together at the end.
Giancarlo Esposito is great as Esteban
even as malcolm x's killer
