    because of the trouble and expense of securing the music rights.

    Also the National Society of Film Critics named it as one of the 100 Essential Films of all time and it's been deemed a national treasure and selected for preservation in the United States Library of Congress' National Film Registry.

    I'd never heard of it until it popped up at a local arthouse theater a couple of weeks ago.

    Now it's with me... bits of it going in and out of my consciousness.

      I'm not entirely sure I (and I emphasize the I) would call it the greatest ever (that would take a lifetime to determine, I think). It's definitely got something to it, though.

      I could see where some of Singleton's inspiration for Boyz N The Hood came from (one of my favorites). One thing that did stand out was how heady and deliberate it was without beating you over the head with any messages or sermons and for a student working with no budget and non-actors, it was very, very impressive.

        There's no way I could declare it the best as I haven't seen enough films and even if I had who can really say such a thing.

        I would say that in it's way it's among the best I've seen.

        One of my favorite scenes was the little girl singing along with "Reasons" by Earth Wind & Fire.
