11. Menace II Society (1993)
Rough, raw and uncompromising are all words which aptly describe this 1993 movie from the Hughes brothers. The movie tells the story of Cain, a hustler from the LA projects, whose confronted with the dangers and allure of the gangster lifestyle on a daily basis. The soundtrack is one great song after another, and the film balances callousness with poignancy beautifully.
