world cinema? which is your fave?

howdy all, seen some great world cinema lately. me faves being zatoichi( puts kill bill to shame), city of god,oldboy and seven samuri, what do you lot like?

Shark_biscuit on May 26 '05 at 4:16am

the old Fellini films kick ass

garr on May 26 '05 at 4:19am

Seven Samurai is one of my favs of all time, Kurosawa's movies are teh awesome.

A lot of Wong Kar-Wai's movies, Chung King Express, Fallen Angels, 2046.. really stylish films. Miike Takashi's City of Lost Souls was excellent, and Audition was beautifully shot but creepy as hell to watch. Recently saw Last Life in the Universe, which had Tadanobu Asano, the other guy from Zatoichi, and that was a pretty great one as well.

And I'm an animation fan, so all of Hayao Miyazaki's films. La la la

jock05tees on May 26 '05 at 4:54am

For animation, you would have to see the films of Yiri Trinka, simply magical. My favourites tend to come from France The Four Hundred Blows, The Red Balloon, La Belle et Bete, oh god there are so many. I've recently seen Maria Full of Grace a Columbian film, it was good! Picnic at Hanging Rock from Australia. My favourite all time has to be Pandora's Box starring Louise Brooks made in 1925 - AWESOME!!!

Moglandor on May 26 '05 at 5:09am

Zatoichi: the original, or the new one with the fakey CG blood and blades?

karma_queen on May 26 '05 at 6:08am

saw y tu mama tambien for the first time the other day (what on earth took me so long??), it completely blew me away. also saw amores perros too, which was fantastic! these world cinema films put hollywood to shame don't they?

i'm also really into bollywood - see devdas to make you cry like a baby :o(

Ady bear on May 26 '05 at 6:44am

zatoichi:i was referring to the new one, i really digged it! other great world cinema ive seen:amorros perros(spelling it wrong i think) motorcycle diaries,tale of two sisters(not porn!), dark water,spirited away,save the green planet(one messed up film) itchi the killer.

goatse on May 26 '05 at 7:35am

city of god was an f'ing great movie. y tu mama tambien was overrated while amores perros was amazing. and kill bill was f'ing great too and will never be put to shame.

Ady bear on May 26 '05 at 9:08am

siz to disagree there goatse, i found kill bill a bit of a let down. dont understand why it was in two parts? could've easily been squashed to one film. the first one ended with a fantastic fight sequence. that should have kinda been the end fight, i just thought zatoichi was great 'cause it was made by beat takishi who in my opinion is under rated, in the uk zatoichi went by without any publicity.which i think is a crying shame.also i love anything by larrs von trier.

Ady bear on May 26 '05 at 9:09am

i meant soz!

Kristina on May 26 '05 at 4:40pm

City of God is such a good movie.

Kristina on May 26 '05 at 4:41pm

Oh!

You should all see the Japanese musical/horror Happiness of the Katakuris.

It is brilliant, and I bet would be really inspirational for designers in that IFC contest!

just seen a documentry called bus 174, watch it!

Robotron5 on May 29 '05 at 11:51am

Happiness of the Katakuris is worth watching due to it being extremely bizarre, I really want to see the Motorcycle diaries, Kung Fu Hustle and Save the green planet, though that last one has had some shite reviews.

karma_queen on May 29 '05 at 4:44pm

just seen ichi the killer. my male flatmates said i wouldn't like it, being a girl. so i proved them wrong. really nicely shot film. visually fantastic

I have many favorites; I'll just list anything I can think of at the moment: A Better Tomorrow Trilogy, Infernal Affairs (being remaked by Scorsese), Amores Perros, Battle Royale, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Dreams, Amelie, Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle. I found Ichi the Killer to be alright compared to Takashi Miike's other film Audition(which made me cringe plenty).

Ady bear on Jul 07 '05 at 6:43am

good choices there dude,although a top tip:

dont bother with battle royale 2-soz but i thought it was awful!

funkie fresh on Jul 07 '05 at 9:19am

I've seen city of god and princess mononoke and they were reaaaaally good. City of God is amazing..I'll be sure to check some of these other movies someday too

Renzox on Jul 07 '05 at 10:51am

ady bear- Too late, already saw the movie lol. Was quite disappointed in it too. When they armed the students with guns, it begins to lose its survival aspect it was known for (at least for me).

Webbins on Jul 07 '05 at 10:53am

La Haine.

twirling around on Jul 07 '05 at 10:57am

bad education was interesting
run lola run is just awesome
amores perros......wow
the sea inside made me cry
lets not froget house of flying daggers

if anyone likes frenchcinema check out 1 2 3 trilogy(nothing to do with the three colors series)

Ash Sammy on Jul 11 '05 at 8:06am

I just saw War Of The Worlds... I was astonished, shocked, mystified and horrified, not as horror, but amazed by this mans work.
Best movie I ever seen.

eskimokiss on Jul 11 '05 at 8:11am

Charme discret de la bourgeoisie, Le
Gregory's Girl
Life is Sweet
Marcelino pan y vino
Alphaville
Amelie
Città delle donne, La (City of Women, my fav Felini film)
anything with Marcello Mastroianni

many more but that's what first pops in my head

bluekryptonite on Jul 11 '05 at 1:26pm

I have an increasing interest in foreign films, especially those in Spanish. Y tu Mama Tambien and Amores Perros are both amazing. I'd like to see the following:

Talk to Her
The Motorcycle Diaries
Sex and Lucia
The Sea Inside
Open Your Eyes
Bad Education

Also, as stated before, Amelie and City of God are also amazing films.

jublin on Jul 11 '05 at 1:53pm

old boy is the bomb. coming out on DVD this august

pinkerton on Jul 11 '05 at 1:58pm

Ady bear on Sep 27 '05 at 4:06am

just saw downfall,v good film.

Bulk Paint TL on Sep 27 '05 at 5:48am

I'm going to pipe up with:

Shaolin Soccer + Kung Fu Hustle - Chow is a comedy genius
House Of Flying Daggers + Hero - both endings had me in floods
Taxi - the original French one
Brotherhood Of The Wolf
Seven Samurai
The Killer
Fong Sai Yuk 1 & 2
Chinese Ghost Story

Hmm. This list appeared to grow a lot faster than I'd expected. Maybe I just like reading a good film...

gerpander on Sep 27 '05 at 5:51am

City of God is pretty darn great.

Ady bear on Sep 27 '05 at 6:32am

city of god is a masterpiece.
surprised hollywood haven't nicked the idea and remade it!

gerpander on Sep 27 '05 at 6:38am

^somebody up there mentioned La Haine and that is one of my favourite films of the 90's. Gritty and bloody great music on the score as well.

Ady bear on Sep 27 '05 at 6:40am

has anyone seen irreversable?

the scene with the fire extinguisher,youch!

gerpander on Sep 27 '05 at 6:50am

No but just happened to read about it in IMdb, maybe see it later if I go on a date or something.

Ady bear on Sep 27 '05 at 6:53am

soz to reboot an old thread of mine.....

......saw a film called "the lives of others" the other night-for anyone who likes great drama without shit blowing up every 5 mins...this is fantastic.

welshalex on Sep 24 '07 at 2:11pm

I just bought 'New Police Story', Jackie Chan's efforts still put most US action blockbusters to shame.

juliejeremiah on Sep 24 '07 at 3:11pm

The Lives of Others was amazing....that's the most recent foreign film I saw, I think. Anybody see Black Book?
