Murda Muzik is a hood classic from 2004, it was written by one of the best mc’s in hip hop: prodigy. It is 100% a hood movie and should have never been removed from the list NeroFenix ( talk) 02:34, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
This is a list of hood films. These films focus on the culture and life of African American or Hispanic American, some cases, who live in segregated, low-income urban communities. This list also includes comparably deprived and crime-ridden communities in other countries such as the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100B:B13D:975E:2F1A:30BA:5E9F:D79E ( talk) 08:14, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

The normal slang word "hood" refers to a criminal (who might be wearing a hood).
The term used by this article abbreviates neighbo(u)rhood, and is therefore written 'hood.
Correct the spelling.
This is an encyclopedia, not some stupid dictionary of "urban" slang.

Stand and Deliver should be on this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1008:B03D:42BB:CC70:F3F0:CD5D:20F9 ( talk) 03:44, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
okay, i confess, I added a whole bunch of movies which I feel fit in as "hood films" including West Side Story, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, A Clockwork Orange, and a whole bunch of movies about inner city Asians and Asian American youth caught up in triad or criminal activity. Do those films not qualify as "Hood movies" b/c they don't feature Blacks or Hispanics as main characters?
Should hood movies center ONLY on Black and Hispanic Americans living in the inner city? While there are exceptions, e.g. 8 Mile, Four Brothers, it seems like hood movies are meant to be about inner city Blacks and Hispanics and capture their struggles rather than on other races such as Asians or Italians.
I guess movies that focus on white youth who commit juvenile delinquency would fall under "teensploitation" films, and movies that focus on Asian youth and criminal activity fall under the triad movie subgenre? And movies that center on inner city Irish or Italian Americans fall under the mobster/gangster genre?
Some films I think would otherwise qualify as "Hood movies" but for the race/ethnicity of the characters:
West Side Story (1961) (this one should definitely be included, it's often considered a precursor to the hood movie and it focuses on Puerto Rican youth)
A Clockwork Orange (1971) (juvenile delinquents)
Mean Streets (1973) (inner city Italians)
Taxi Driver (1976)
Thief (1981)
Once Upon a Time in America (1984)
Tenement (1985) (about a Hispanic gang that attacks tenants in a low-income apartment)
Year of the Dragon (1985) (Asian gangs)
China Girl (1987) (inner city Asian and Italian gangs)
As Tears Go By (1988) (about inner city Asian youth)
A Moment of Romance (1990)
Young and Dangerous (1996)
Bringing Out the Dead (1999)
The Corrupter (1999)
Summer of Sam (1999) (this one should DEFINITELY be included)
Gangs of New York (2002)
Infernal Affairs (2002)
Election (2005)
Shinjuku Incident (2009)
Revenge of the Green Dragon (2014) (about inner city Asian gangs)
Ash is Purest White (2018) (about inner city Chinese gangsters)
Admittedly, several of these films probably belong to the mobster/gangster or triad subgenre rather than hood movie. 173.71.122.33 ( talk) 00:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
