that's a good one, hard as ? to find to. Very independent film.
Thicker Than Water is slept on. MC Eiht put on another stellar performance playing basically A-Wax again.
1-8-7 with Sam L. was tough.
Almost every list I've seen for Top 10-15 hood movies has Menace and/or Boyz N The Hood as 1 and 2. All those gangsta and mob movies listed above don't even make lists because they gangsta and mob movies.
How can yall forget ...
Check for Young Caesar and here's a list of hood movies and a lot of unknown, independent joints

West Coast easily.

Has anyone mentioned House Party? Does that count?
-
what coast is taking claim to this wack ass Mac and Devin movie ? was garbage

Being Black, its real hard for me to dissect our movies and separate them like that. But i understand the thread. What makes these movies a East/West thing is the FLava. We have a West coast flava, and a East Coast flava. and all those movies mentioned, east and west, has their own respected Vibe.
You cant do that with white movies made on the east and west. only thing different with them is their accent.
is that racist of me to say? Take away the white peoples accents and the movie could have pretty much been made in ohio and nobody would know the difference.
honorable Mentions:
Jason's Lyric
In too Deep

New Jack City was based off Detroit ? , though

Menace & Boyz are GOAT. Throw in Friday and its a wrap. Keep it real.
The best of those east coast movies t/s listed were Carlito (which is a stretch to call it a hood flick) and Clockers -

Do the right thing
Both coasts got classics but the edge goes to the west IMO.
