There is no doubt this was an important movie with big bright spots but it's importance is only in the fact that it was the first black youths growing up in the hood movie. Just because it's first doesn't mean it belongs in the Canon. I agree mostly with Devin although there are some parts he didn't mention that I didn't like. The way they bring Ricky's body back to the house seems illogical and completely traumatized Ricky's mother. I also found the ending very lazy in how Singleton did a text ending to say Ice Cube's character died.

This is a good one. I couldn't really choose although I'd lean towards Sandlot just because it came out when I was a kid. At the same time though Bad News Bears is awesome.
