I was wondering where you were, senik!
I want to see The Blackboard, which is this Kurdish film about roving teachers in Iraq. 
Other than that, Y Tu Mama Tambien was good, as is anything by Fellini. Can't think right now. Has anyone seen Dead Man with Johnny Depp? That was great! | |

wait until you see his latest: La Mala Educación. It´s a fantastic film! i kept meaning to see it when I was in Barcelona -- it was at a theater very near me. But my Spanish isn't great, so I thought I'd wait for subtitles. CAN'T WAIT FOR it to get HERE!!! http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |

It's hilarious that Canadian movies are often placed in the "Foreign" section of the video store here in Canada (even the non-french-canadian ones). You can even see that in Vancouver where the film industry is very strong...
So for fun I'm going to mention some of my favourite Canadian movies (so far): The Sweet Hereafter The Adjuster Nobody Waved Goodbye Hardcore Logo Léolo Crash Cube Les Invasions Barbares | |

Nice one you guys. I've seen the mexican 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' and the German 'Run,Lola Run!' was on telly a while back last year. I liked them
Seen 'Cinema Paradiso' too, what a little charmer of a film that was aswell. Saw Almodovar's 'Hable Con Elle' (Talk To Her) in the pictures, but I had to get it on video to appriciate it better due to my foo'kin' peeps in the cinema who wouldn't keep their cake holes shut coz they were gettin' bored! 
If any of you get the chance and if you aint actually seen it... check this bit of Brazilian class out (done with mainly ameteur kid actors I was told too) : 
'CIDADE DE DEUS' (CITY OF GOD)
"..My work is personal, I'm a working person, I put in work, I work with purpose.." | |

If you like that then try and catch 'My Favourite Concubine'. It's a little old so I don't know how accessible it is but it's a nice movie. 'Chungking Express' is also cool.... It has a great line in it that I remember... "....when you have a broken heart, you should go running. Running evapourates fluids, so there's less tears to cry...." 
joey spelling edit! [This message was edited Thu May 6 16:58:13 2004 by senik] "..My work is personal, I'm a working person, I put in work, I work with purpose.." | |

 i've seen that city of god. i thought it was good but i didnt like the last half hour or so.
Monsoon wedding is also a good one. humour, sadness, issues, wedding time tensions, it covers things well. she is a good director but i forgot her name. you seem to like iranian films alot. are you iranian? | |

Sedmikrasky ('Daisies' in English), 1966, is a Czech film. One of the best movies I've ever seen in my life, hands down!
'Two teenage girls, both named Marie, decide that since the world is spoiled they will be spoiled as well; accordingly they embark on a series of destructive pranks in which they consume and destroy the world about them. This freewheeling, madcap feminist farce was immediately banned by the government.' (stolen from imdb.com) I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

Das Boot (The Boat in German)
You can get it in English but its better to watch in German even if you don't know all of what they are saying | |
