As an African-American woman, sometimes I search for movies that feature Black actors and tell Black stories. These Hood Romance Movies on Netflix feature Black love stories that illustrate the unique struggles of this demographic. 

What are Hood Movies?

Hood film is a film genre from the 1990s that depicts aspects of urban African American or Hispanic American culture.

What is a Hood Romance?

According to Urban Dictionary:

The type of romance that is expressed in a sincere, straight-forward, but crude manner. A relationship that is publicly open regarding their strange and sometimes raunchy sexuality.

According to Ranker:

Some of the greatest hood films set in, and about, the ‘hood.' Hood films began appearing in the late '80s and early '90s, with the most widely-known examples being Boyz n the Hood and Hustle n Flow. These films explore themes of life in African-American urban communities, including poverty, violence, gangsters, education, drugs, sports, and music.
