Paid in Full is on the same level as Goodfellas

[Ol’Otis]

Better than American Gangster imo (cause half the film was focused on an Irish cac cop)

true

shyt is mad annoying

 

[Ol’Otis]

I know the directors are black

half

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Im probably gonna get flack for this but

after rewatching Menace it reminds me of more of what white people think black people in the hood act like

I know the directors are black but if i didn't i'd assume they were white after watching it

Boyz in the Hood felt more authentic and made the characters act more realistic and less like stereotypes

Menace has some classic scenes but overall I think Boyz has aged better.

pause

I felt the opposite, scenes with O Dog were legit street shyt to me. Boyz in the Hood was a bit melodramatic. He scored just enough on the SAT! *mother cries* lol

If it was as ornate It would be leagues ahead. Esp w/ the critical fanfare stripped away from both(which is a major thing).

Message! And your argument is, because i enjoyed th e movie more it's better film making?

Boyz has the classic scenes, quotes and is the powerful and relevant film period. You may enjoy PiF but it will never have those accolades, so Boyz is the better film and always will be.

With your ignorant ass.



Now go watch Scarface for the first time

Once again using pretense as a crutch. If I like a movie better than another, that's what it is. You can save all that other shyt for the critics. Maybe nikkas like you do, but I don't need validation for my opinions. The fact that you came out the gate copping pleas for it (despite its flaws ) leads me to believe you probably don't even rock with it like that your damn self, you're just propping it up because once again...that's what you're "supposed to do" for one of the "chosen" black hood classics. :fohch: The overwhelming feel of it being a "very special episode of..." knocks it down several points for me and I think you know exactly what I'm talking about. fukk an accolade, how do you feel about it?




And as far as age, let's be all the way reality, nikka I'm 28 years old. You're what, 30-something? You aint that much my damn senior so sit down somewhere.

Or maybe you are 40+ in which case, you better calm yourself down before you hurt yourself. I know you put on that Muscle Rub before and after work.

one of the "chosen" black hood classics. :fohch:

lemme grab this popcorn

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

No way

If anything Paid In Full came across as a great piece of work for a film student. Goodfellas was filled with moments that were properly emphasized that could be tied in well together. There is really no comparison. Cam & Mekhi did a great job though

 

[Cladyclad]

Hell no

 

[Knowledge]

Y'all nikkas too obsessed with Italians


It's definitely up there with Goodfellas and Casino in my book. Better than American Gangster imo (cause half the film was focused on an Irish cac cop)


Thanks for reminding me to grab this flick in Blu-ray (is it even available in that format?)

Exactly, Italian mov movies get that CAC cosign and it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Black movies with black leads compared to CAC movies.....didn't y'all know Massa's ice is colder?

I just watched Goodfellas last week. Paid in full is not on that level. But it is highly entertaining.

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Nah paid in full definitely not on that level

 

[Able Archer 83]

Paid in Full is a very good B-movie.

Goodfellas is a classic feature.

Corny but
