I've never seen any of these movies. I like Boyz in the Hood a lot.

Menace II Society, and it ain't even close.

Still the Hughes brothers best film.

I love how everyone says Mencase but haven't seen the other movies. LMAO You guys are something else. Anyway you should see the rest. They're pretty good if you're into the genre.

Re: Belly vs StateProperty(I&II) vs PaidInFull vs MenaceIISociety vs Shottas

Well, Belly is the only other one I've seen listed (I'm honestly surprised at how many others haved admitted to seeing Menace...Never knew that it's acclaim had surpassed the popularity of Boyz/Hood)

But at this point, I'm only interested in which one has the most sex/nudity (Yeah, I'm 1-dimensional like that)

There's no way I am seeing anything directed by Hype Williams that is not a rap video.

This list is hilarious.

And my answer is Fresh.

Belly was decent. I really liked the first State Property, but the sequel was weak. I honestly can't remember Paid in Full. Never saw Shottas. Menace II Society is, hands down, the best of this bunch.

Menace II Society.

I thought it was really good and right up there with Boyz N The Hood.

Boyz N the Hood will always have the advantage of coming out first, but in terms of quality, Menace II Society will always be the better of the two, IMO.

How dare you leave out RAPPIN' with Mario Van Peebles!

It predates everything on your list:

A better poll would have been Menace vs. Juice vs. Boyz N The Hood vs.New Jack City vs. Dead Presidents vs. King of New York.
