List of hood films

These films focus on the culture and life of African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and, in some cases, Asian-Americans, Irish Americans or Italian Americans who live in segregated, low-income urban communities. This list also includes comparably economically disenfranchised and crime adjacent communities in other countries such as the UK and Canada.
