Default Favorite Modern Gangster and Sci-Fi Films

Simple just make a list of 5 of your favorite Gangster/Crime films and 5 Sci-Fi Films. Also make them modern, so 90 and beyond. I will post mine shorty after a few responses are down.

*Note: Trilogy would only count as 1 movie.

I definitely agree with Boyz N Da Hood. Theres a lot of movies that tried doing the same thing, but failed.

Boyz N Da Hood is my least favorite gang life film of the 90's, really. Or, at least, I like it less than Colors and Fresh.

Oh, wait, I replace it for Goodfellas. That or Departed will be replaced. I'll make another list.

And good choice with Primer, very different movie but filmed fantastically.

No one likes Godfather 3. I need to see City of God and Solaris too.

You could get it either way I'm sure, but it's foreign, so usually subtitled, the way I like more.
