Let The Right One In- AWESOME MOVIE. If you haven't seen it, DO IT

Anxiously awaiting the DVD release, since we only get crap movies at the theaters in my town.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I'm a big fan of the Kurosawa samurai dramas.

Seven Samurai
Rashomon
Yojimbo
Throne of Blood
The Hidden Fortress

I'm also a massive fan of pretty much anything Zatoichi with Shintaro Katsu.

Karate Bull Fighter
Karate Bear Fighter
Karate for Life
(Gotta love Chiba )

Aguirre, The Wrath of God (Good call there, Batty )
Nosferatu - 1979 Werner Herzog remake, German language version. Superior even to the original silent masterpiece imo, and my favorite vampire movie.

I think Kinski was a mad genius.

Festen to name one, surprised nobody has mentioned this movie it is hilarious and tragic at the same time

Taxi 1

Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain

Un long dimanche de fiançailles

 

[agonistes86]

Already a lot of great films mentioned, so I'll add some that haven't been mentioned yet:

Das Experiment
Lammbock
Elementarteilchen

All three are great german movies (all starring Moritz Bleibtreu incidentally).

 

[McHavyck]

- hero, fist of legend, fearless (3 of jet li's best movies)

- ip man (biography of bruce lee's mentor, starring donnie yen)

- connected (hong kong remake of cellular that's way better than the hollywood original starring paul walker and kim basinger)

- grave of the fireflies (my favourite miyazaki animation)

- letters from iwo jima (clint eastwood's underrated war drama)

- cinema paradiso (always reminds me why i love movies and cinema so much)

Amazing film!!!

 

[alphatyrant]

Seven Samurai - Just truly epic in every sense of the word.

Battle Royale - Fantastic movie, let down by sub-par sequel.

L'Interieur/Inside - Fantastically gripping French Thriller/Horror.

Save the Green Planet - impossible to describe, just a mental black comedy.

Neighbour No.13 - Haven't watched it in a long time, but it's a very good thriller with some nutty twists.

Versus - Balls to the wall high octane insanity.

The Host - a crazy family based drama with a sodding great tadpole.

Switchblade Romance/Haute Tension - Nasty.

I'll gladly watch anything with Tadanobu Asano in it, he's pretty much Johnny Depp from the far east plus Beat Takeshi's films are always worthwhile.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Downfall & Letters from Iwo Jima

 

[Jen]

Run Lola Run
Cinema Paradiso
Farinelli
Day Watch
Night Watch
The City of Lost Children
City of God
Like Water For Chocolate
La Femme Nikita
36th Chamber of Shaolin

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head that I don't think have been mentioned yet.

I love Pan's labyrinth.
I also love Brotherhood of the Wolf ( le pacte des loups). It's a kick ass movie with a great reveal at the end. I can't believe I don't have it on DVD. I must rectify this

Did any of like Night Watch and Day Watch ???? My wife is Russian so I watched the first one because my brother-in-law loves it. I thought it looked great but I got lost with the story

Yes, I loved it. I love Night, but like Day. Day is the more confusing of the two. But Timur is one of my favorite action directors now. S'why I love Wanted a lot a suppose.

 

[BadMoon]

City of God for me hands down.

Next would be Pans

I really enjoyed them both.....were a bit confusing at first...but I watched them a couple times to let it all sink in. Loved the whole premise.....how one guy's action had a devastating snowball effect. Can't wait for the third one to get done.

City of God for me hands down.

Next would be Pans

City of God is one of the best foreign films I have seen as well......really left me speechless.
