BOYZ N’ THE HOOD
Even if you didn’t grow up anywhere near South Central L.A., you can relate to the complex issues of life in the hood from this 1991 classic by director John Singleton. Tre (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), “Doughboy” (Ice Cube) and Ricky (Morris Chestnut) were the trio we grew up watching on the big screen as they grappled with poverty, gang violence, love and their tough environment.
