seen them all expect State of Grace....

i thought paid in full was crap.... typical african american gangster film.... someone needs to make a really good one.... because i dont really dig the ''classics'' like boys in the hood n mennace... i think its because wat makes the movie is the story line and the camera work etc....  i thought waist deep is half decent...

i thought gang tapes was ok... because of the camera used in it....

so i think someone needs to make a really really good african american movie bout drugs or wat ever... wth good directing etc and a really brilliant story line.

yeh i watched paid in full... and it was like... yeh i allready could see the ending of the movie when it started..... u know.. u could expect wats going to happen.... not a good movie....

what i thought was good was training day.... and how it had a really good story line...

edit: waist deep was ok... maybe i liked it more cause it had Game in it... and he loooked pretty fucked up in it... it was a good movie... but paid in full bored me..

because i dont really dig the ''classics'' like boys in the hood n mennace...

Damn that's crazy.

I guess you had to grow up in America, and have been "of age" when those movies came out... because for the time, that movie was so realistic, it's almost frightning.

Those 2 movies honestly and realistically took a look at inner city Los Angeles during the early 90's

So...I know i'm about 30 years late on this but I bought the godfather set the other day.  I've only watched part 1, and it's honestly the best movie i've seen in any genre.

I'm gonna wait on part 2 cause it looks like it's long.

And part 3 gets a lot of hate so I don't know if I even want to see it.

godfather is arguably the best movie ever. i think it's always godfather II and citizen kane that challenge the title .
Title: Re: Best gangster/criminal movies?
Post by: Lunatic on July 30, 2007, 06:07:03 PM
Godfather 1 is the shit...i'm not bit on pt 2, not at all :-\

i liked 3 better than 2 surprisingly
