Crime movies: Boston vs. New York vs. Los Angeles....let's keep it to the past 15-20 years...

Goodfellas, Bronx Tale, and Donnie Brasco put NY on top
But Boston has been on point recently with Boondock Saints, Departed, and a few others
LA has Boyz n the Hood and Menace 2 Society
 
Hong Kong > *


And The Boondock Saints is way overrated. Honestly, it's just a rip off of a Tarantino flick or was trying to be one.

--All are appreciated. Cant choose just one.
--There are some movies that arent that great in each one and each one has their classics.

I thought I was the only person that didn't like Boondock Saints on NT

Man I've been feeling the same way as well. When I was in film school, cats in my class would geek out over Boondock Saints when this type of discussion was brought up. I just never saw the hype to it.

And I wouldn't categorize Reservoir Dogs as crime film per say, since it dealt with the aftermath of a robbery and the coming together of the team. I don't know, that's just me tho.
