4 Film Favorites: Urban Life (4FF) Titles include: ATL, New Jack City, Set It Off: Deluxe Edition, and Menace II Society: Deluxe Edition Review: GREAT COLLECTION OF MOVIES! GREAT PRICE! - Thank you so much for the fast shipping! I can't wait to enjoy these movies! Review: Definitely a must-buy - It's difficult to decide how many stars to give this collection. Each might not be a five-star film, but they're all still required watching. Along with "Boyz in the Hood" and "Do the Right Thing," beginning movie students will have a strong grounding in the third wave of black film-making. While Spike Lee might be an auteur, and thus his films are considered to be a few steps beyond these, don't look down your nose at any of these movies about urban living. They're strongly-plotted with realistic narratives, and will bring back strong memories for those of us lucky to see them on the big screen several decades back. After you're done with these, check out the great HBO series, "The Wire," certainly in the top three contenders for the best television series of all time. Some might say it's "The Sopranos," and others, "Breaking Bad." Each are top-tier, and if you include "Oz" and "The Shield," you have yourself quite a deep field of excellent film-making. I'll rate "The Wire" number one. Anyway, this collection is a great introduction.

Classics from a time period that makes you think 🤔 more
It's a different view of life's problems and depression/desires/ discipline/discovery = trust, debt , danger. Opportunities, motives, processing and financial problems. False information. These films 🎥 showed or shared 🤔 multiple years of experiences that some found themselves intriguingly interested with or lost everything chasing after illusions
