Schindler's List- any other hidden/missed films?

I think I may have a drink film problem. I just love films 8) and Indie/small cinemas.

Heres an awesome documentary/film: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/when_we_were_kings/

I’m not a boxing fan but the energy/story and James Brown is a brilliant mix. Really entertaining.

Anyone seen “My Life as a Dog”. Really good film, Swedish I think.

“Subway” I thought was fantastic with some of the actors goin onto much bigger things. Recall it had loads press at the time, does that still happen for French films?

+1 for The Lives of Others
Also…
Brotherhood…historically very accurate and VERY powerful film about two brothers fighting in the Korean War, great soundtrack. I have watched this with my classes twice a year for the last 7 years and it still brings a lump to my throat. It’s in Korean, but has subtitles.

Schlinder bought and ready to go

City of God and A Prophet.
My gran was feeling a bit down after dealing with some stuff about her war widow’s pension so my dad took her to the pictures to cheer her up to see,you’ve guessed it Schindler’s List .It didn’t work.

Another +1 for The Lives of Others, great film.

I would suggest Let the Right One In or actually, if you’re feeling a bit lazy, the American remake Let Me In is almost as good.

City Of Lost Children
Dark City
Amelie
The Station Agent
Diva
They Call Me Trinity
Trinity Is Still My Name

Dogtooth.

It’s kind of how I imagine hora’s world to be from his perspective.

No Badboy Bubby is my world perspective.

I’ve never seen Reservoir Dogs and never really felt the need to see it, although I do like other Tarantino movies!

Wings of Desire – God, what a superb film, possibly Wim Wenders finest.
AND it’s got Peter Falk in it.

3 colours: red, 3 colours: white & 3 colours: blue by Krzysztof Kieslowski – all superb, well worth a watch.

As a recommendation what about Man bites dog!

The Wild Bunch is great

Two Lane Black Top

I thought Downfall was astonishing.

Dogville …do not be put off by the set, the film is utterly rewarding and a horrible reflection of civilsation.

Downfall fab
Dr Strangelove
Clockwork Orange
The Life of David Gale
Das boot

for a start

Two Lane Blacktop is superb.
Await Hora’s thread re suitability of a ’55 Chevy as a daily driver. 🙂

The Lives of others is probably my favourite film, but also:

(Sympathy for) Lady Vengeance
American History X
Crash

oh…. and the goonies

Revanche. austrian film. cold, but good.

Mammoth. a warning to all those who are too busy to realise what is important to them (says he who has just worked 50 hours in the last three days and will be giving it “voll gas” for the next month or more….)

Watched the pilot episode of ‘Breaking Bad’
It’s about a high school chemistry teacher who finds out he’s terminal cancer, goes off the rails a bit
and starts up a meth amphetamine lab from a camper van.
IMDB gives it a 9.4 out of 10
Well worth a viewing.

toni,la grand illusion,une partie de campagne- j renoir
kubrick.all.
truffaut-all.
tarkovsky.all.

Ozu,kobayashi,mizoguchi,kurosawa.

wong kar wai

saw a few of robert hamer’s recently.

chabrol is good.

rivette,

Have a fondness for lang’s Dr mabuse

in america by jim sheridan is great.
belrin alexanderplatz is great as well but it’s about 9hs.
Solaris,both versions are fine,but tarkovsky’s is a masterpiece.

Ghost Dog is good.

Fighter is a good film about boxing with Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, also Sunshine is brill.

IF , an everyday story of urest at a conservative public school, wait until the end, for the best bit.

Brokeback Mountain, fantastic filming and scenery, youll cry at the end,

oh and this ones quite good,

Schindlers list is fantastic, a true story that should be never have been true

12 Angry Men.
Dead Man’s Shoes.

The curious case of Benjamin button.

Absolutely epic.

I quite enjoyed Elite squad[/url].
Or Das Boot is a must if you haven’t seen it? All in all I just think that other countries exist outside of english speaking nations & most of them make better films than we do.

Fancy taking a chance on The guard post?

A couple I’ve always found thought-provoking when I’ve seen them.

Snow Falling On Cedars – post-WW2 smalltown lawyer defends Japanese immigrant against murder charge
A Midnight Clear – wet-behind-the-ears US soldiers get up to not much over Christmas in WW2 Europe, then it all goes somewhat awry

Both very sedate pace, both beautifully shot, both starring Ethan Hawke.

Oo man bites dog is brill not seen in years where can I get a copy?

How about leon?

the guns of naverone
where eagles dare
bridge over the river kwai

(not watched any of these since I was about 12 mind)

The Fall

Seen two good German films recently, Goodbye Lenin and The Lives of Others, very enjoyable.

Ghost Dog is good.

He’s right, it is very good, I’d forgotten that one.
Any of the Myazaki/Studio Ghibli animé, like Howl’s Moving Castle, Porko Rosso, Spirited Away…
Collateral – just thought of this one, Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. Cruise is very good in this, as a contract killer cruising LA in a taxi. Really enjoyed it, but it seems to have slipped under the radar.

Can I wholeheartedly recommend with every fibre of my being that you DO NOT watch The Serbian film.
I really mean it. There’s been some great suggestions already, I like to think of myself as being able to enjoy just about any film from anywhere in the world but not this one.
I really mean it. Don’t watch it.
Ps, Leon is a great film if you haven’t seen it.
Pps, what did you think of Schindlers List Hora?

Interesting how OS set out for personal gain/slave labour exploitation but fell into a reluctant savior role.

Is the film accurate? I.e The Accountant Stein?

On Goth, three attempts to hang him in 1946. Oh dear oh dear.

Best film I have seen in a long time, still at the top of the charts, the Russian film How I Ended This Summer.

It’s slow to start but builds nicely.

(No helicopters explode though, and it doesn’t have any kookie good looking french birds in it, which I gather is your cup of tea if you liked Amelie. Try Betty Blue for that.)

School for scoundrels a classic comedy

wild geese

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas (watched again last night)

Oldboy (another vote for it)

Boondock Saints (also try Overnight, which is the making of documentary)

Clerks (then go on a Kevin Smith athon)

The Hill
Fandango
Dr Zschivago (sp!).
