The moment
Right after getting into a fistfight with his half-brother Ricky (Morris Chestnut), Darin 'Doughboy' Baker (rap star Ice Cube) must take his sibling's bullet-riddled dead body home to their mother.

Why we get choked
We've followed these boys from adolescence to their premature adulthood in this hell town known as South Central in 1991. Just as Ricky is about to turn his life to something positive, he's the victim of a drive-by of which Doughboy was the intended target. After Doughboy and his crew achieve retribution, it's an ironic justice that lingers with him - and us.

Do you agree that this moment is one of the best?

The scene in "Amistad", when Cinque can no longer keep it in and says "Give us us free" should be here. It truly brought tears to my eyes, and many of the men in the theater when I saw it.
