This is a movie question, not DVD, but it fits the thread. I saw Boyz N the Hood when it came out, and thought it was excellent, but, to anyone who has seen it AGAIN recently, does it hold up at all? It always seemed to me it wouldn't, so I deliberately haven't watched it again.

I say it still holds up well. The same issues the movie exposed still exist today as they did in 1991.

Troy Stiffler

It still holds up. I actually watch it rather often. After watching it twenty or so times, it's still as engrosing as it was the first time.

The early nineties music and clothing doesn't bog it down at all. Like the previous poster said, it still ties in with current problems and situations.

For me, it's one of the greatest films ever made.

FYI...

Amazon is listing it as the "anniversary edition."

Is this a new type of special edition? The 12year anniversary edition?

I just bought the single disc version for 9.44 at walmart. All I wanted was the movie anyway.
