Re: foreign films
Wages of Fear is pretty awesome too, but if you're new to foreign, you can skip the first 20-30 minutes to when the guys are actually in teh trucks (yeah, yeah, film blasphemy, I know).

Re: foreign films

Re: foreign films
I've heard the Japanese film "Batoru rowaiaru" ("Battle Royale" in English) is very good. But apparently it is quite difficult to get in the US due to its mix of violence and teens.

[/ QUOTE ]my night at maud's and boyfriends and girlfriends are both amazing. Oh yeah, I just remembered Battle Royale (2000) ....basically the whole 9th grade class is taken to an island and it's a fight to the death. Kill Bill: Vol 1 has some parts inspired from it, and features one of the girls from the movie: edit: bah, cola beat me to it ! |

It's basically an homage to one of Chiaki Kuriyama's (Go-Go) scenes in BR. It shouldn't be too hard to guess which one. |

Re: foreign films
Korean Cinema is "so hot right now" in the words of one of your two favorites... www.koreanfilm.org has seriously become a place I go to fill up my netflix queue (ok, not fill up as it is over 400 already, but find good new movies anyway)
Tae Guk Gi, best war "FILM" made in the last decade imo. (I had to emphasize film because that statement becomes false when you include band of brothers) Oldboy, twisted, lots of action, completely original story, very good movie. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring. A great film. Stunningly beautiful cinematography. Definately not action packed, but the writing and acting are supurb. I have honestly never talked to someone else who has seen this movie even though I suggest it to everyone. Everyone is missing out [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |
