I'm not only looking for foreign movies, I just had to have a title, and that was the first one to pop up in my head...
It's form SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy.

Yalla! Yalla!

yep, true

maybe they think that because the ring was so successful the sequels'll be that good, in this case they ain't (N)

Tales has... It's in the first reply :wink:

I've been trying to get a hold of that movie for like two months now, but all I ever find is ether with bad qualety, or no subtitles.
I just have to wait for it to be released here in Sweden I guess...

I saw it when I was little and don't remember a lot from it but did Bruce get his butt kicked by Kareem?

I just saw "In America" and I'm pretty sure that's a foreign flick. It's about an Irish family who moves to New York and befriends an African man who's living in their building. The African man is nominated for "Best Supporting Actor." It takes place in New York, but I'm pretty sure it's classified as a foreign movie.

Also "Veronica Guerin" is really good. It stars Cate Blanchett as Veronica Guerin, an Irish reporter (in Ireland) in the mid-1990s who did extensive reporting on the Irish drug lords. She was killed at the end. It's a true story and I thought that Cate would be nominated for "Best Actress" but I guess not.

I saw "City Of God" in the beginning of 2003... It rocked. I saw it 2 more times since that. Its director, Fernando Meirelles, a famous ads director here in Brazil, was nominated for Best Director Award on this year's Oscar, (Y)

All you Americans, don't lose the chance to see this incredible movie!

by **Filip** on Wed Feb 18, 2004 8:28 am

Enter the Dragon good movie, awsome fighting scenes (y)

Trainspotting great (y)

Lock stock and two smoking barrels excellent (y)

(y)(y), I can always watch this movie, I never get tired of it the story, the character, the lines, the viewing, the music, aaah I love it :beer:

Looked up City of God @ IMDB, and wow, the movie have 8.6 in user ratings, I think I have heard about this movie before, not sure.

U cant have that 1 cos its an american movie. The tagline on the movie posters read "The first American produced martial arts spectacular!"

by **Andreas Dahl** on Tue Feb 24, 2004 3:33 am

It doesn't matter if it's an USA movie, as long as it's good and worth watching... (Y)

by **MC Hao** on Tue Feb 24, 2004 6:00 am

little off topic, but i have to say Battle Royale II is a disappointment.

by **Filip** on Thu Feb 26, 2004 9:00 am

Have anyone seen Kubrick's "Dr Strangelove:Or...", i'm gonna get this movie asap (if i'm lucky i'll get it to my birthday), I have just seen some scenes, it's seems to be hilirious.

by **Owen** on Wed Mar 24, 2004 11:53 pm

why do you guys know Battle Royalle ? i thought it was just a minor movie... :roll:

by **Andreas Dahl** on Thu Mar 25, 2004 12:03 am

"Dr Strangelove: Or how I..." seems to be quite great :wink:

I saw the first 15-20 minutes of it a year and a half ago... Didn't think to much of it though...

Battle royal is great

It's not a minior movie, many people here in Sweden has seen it. It's realy good.
I heve Battle Royalle on svcd, but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. I hear that it's not nearly as good as the first one. Has anybody see it?

By the way, I forgot about an movie earlier
:arrow:

Man on the Moon (With Jim Carey)
Man I love that movie, especially in the first half, after that it get's a little to sad...

I strongly recomend people to watch it.
I love the sceene where he's suppose go make an lecture or something like that at a universety... I won't say more, I wouldn't wanna ruin it :wink:

by **Jackal** on Thu Mar 25, 2004 1:52 am

Now look, can I also suggest movies in Hindi? (Indian) We have some of those, I'm sure Hotshot would have some suggestions too. Most of the DVD's have english subtitles now days anyway.

by **Andreas Dahl** on Thu Mar 25, 2004 2:04 am

Sure you can, I don't think anyone would see them, but yea... :wink:

cuz there were chinese subtitled versions released... i guess that helped its popularity

Got Dr Strangelove for not long ago. And it's great, it has some hilerious scenes :lol:

.

I have only seen one scene from battle royale and that was when a teacher or someone throw a fucking knife in the head of one of the students! UGH!! Nasty shit!

Reviving an old toppic as always awsome... :wink:

Last night I saw Cidade de Deus (Gods City). It was realy awsome.
I still don't understand how they weren't Oscar-nominated.
I recomend everyone to see it... It's truly an amazing film.

Last week; I also saw Battle Royale 2.
I was expecting a big dissapointment. But that did not happen.
I expected it to be a movie living of it's predesesor. And it was to some exctent. Not so much, but it still had a lot of stuff from the first one.
But it was a nice movie anyway. Not in the same scince as the last one. A different approach and story-line.
It's a nice movie. But not nearly as great as Battle Royale 1. :wink:

I also saw Rushmore. I know it's not a foreign flick, but whatever. It was a realy nice movie. I recomend this one strongly.

by **magius** on Sun Apr 25, 2004 6:34 am

rushmore has an okay soundtrack too :wink:

anyway, some films i like (some american ones too, i gather its 'allowed' now :wink:

) :
rashomon
seven samurai
the seventh seal
grand illusion
the godfathers
vertigo
schindlers list
lost in translation
american graffitti
taxi driver

p.s. interesting topic because this summer im starting film school

maybe i'll have more input next year!

by **Andreas Dahl** on Sun Apr 25, 2004 6:42 am

Yea. The sound-track is great :cool:

I haven't heard of: rashomon, the seventh seal, grand illusion not american graffitti...

I'v been meaning to see Seven Samurais for like 2 years now. Never got around to do it though. Is it realy that good?
Never realy got Vertigo... I didn't realy understand what's so great about it. It's a rather nice movie and all, but not as great as most people say it is.
I don't realy like Schindlers List either for some reason. It was made to politicaly correct (or Hollywoodised if you like)...
