So what? It's REALLY overrated. People saying its the end-all of gangster or drug movies, when it's not even in the top 10 of eithergenre. Is it good? Sure. Is it influential? Yup. Is it the best, though? Not even close.
 
cant think of 10 @ the moment so you get 3...edit in the morning:

1. HIGHER LEARNING
2. SPEED
3. BOOMERANG
