0 Guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Well, if you're looking for one's out on DVD... "Momento" is intriguing "All About My Mother" (I actually saw the original spanish version "Todo Sobre Mi Madre" when I was in Spain...I haven't seen it with the English sub-titles, but in my opinion the sub-titles don't really subtract from the film) "Fargo" is my all-time favorite black comedy. If you haven't seen it yet, "Burn After Reading" is a very similar type movie - disturbing yet hilarious. and of course one of my all-time favorites, which doesn't get near the recognition it deserves: "Stranger Than Fiction" - definitely NOT the typical Will Ferrell movie (think Jim Carrey in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" except less bizzare ) Enjoy.

0 Yoruichi-san Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I'm not much of a movie person, since I usually go for plot/character development, which requires longer media, but here are some I like: Sin City Match Point Crash My Sassy Girl (Korean) Battle Royale (Japanese) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other great Japanese flicks: Ichi the Killer, Sword of Doom, Audition anyone ever seen 3 Extremes? It's pretty crazy too. And Sympathy for Mr. vengeance and Old Boy. Old Boy is so great, now I want to watch it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents watch alot of independent/world/non-hollywood cinema so i've seen quite alot of things that aren't exactly known worldwide I'll think of some more for you... there's one German film which is absolutely mind-blowing about a high ranking Stasi officer in East Germany during the climax of the Cold War... the actor died shortly after the film won the awards it did.... if only i could remeber the name of it.... <_< Edited October 9, 2008 by Joe's Student Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Joe's Student Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 yeah if you only could! I am very much into independent cinema as well. being so close to hollywood, the big budgets dont get me going. Got it! The German one i mentioned is called The Lives of Others. Have to agree with you there CP, once you see a great film like Gosford Park, which is devoid of all Hollywood's perfect lighting and extreme budgets, you can never really go back and enjoy something like The Dark Knight (although it was a good film) just as much... I'll make a list for you and post later today or tomorrow, let m know if you watch any of them and like them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andromeda Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Love In Bruges is such a good film! Would recommend Donnie Darko its my favourite film of all time The Wind that Shakes the Barley if you can find it, and Once is brilliant! F***ing Bruges hahhah, I love Colin Farrell!!! Oh and I love Cillian Murphy and liked a lot "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" "Intermission" Colin + Cillian = hilarious Oh and you must, must, MUST watch "Stranger than Fiction"! Brilliant film!!! Will Farrell's in it, but this role is unlike his others (this is not a comedy)! EDIT: I forgot to say that there are so many brilliant lines in "In Bruges" + Colin with his genuine Irish accent!!! = PRICELESS Edited October 10, 2008 by andromeda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen it? Yeah, Twin Peaks is awesome. He also made a prequel movie called Fire Walk with Me which is really crazy. It's funny because they cut Twin Peaks off the air without finishing the story, so the studio gave Lynch a chance to sum it up in a movie, but instead of finishing the story he made a prequel to the TV show - so badass of him My favorite Lynch movies are Mulholland Dr. and Blue Velvet.

Atleast that's what I have heard. Bollywood, for a few exceptions, has been reduced to just skimpy dresses and storylines which lose their plot midway.

0 itachi-san Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Shaolin Soccer ftw! Also, I really can't stress enough how good The Fall is. I saw it randomly, and it's really worth a look.

0 Mekal Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I just saw city of ember last night and that was actually a pretty good movie I never atually finished the book though so i don't know how well it stayed true to the book...

But for the part of of the movie that i read the book it followed it pretty well... The "childrens book" City of Ember is so much more than a children's book - it's awesome. I'm hesitant to see the movie cuz most book-to-movie transitions aren't very good, but if it does stay true to the book... hmm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
