antichrist was just gross.  it was interesting to me since i was a former psyche major and i like watching very weird sex scenes.  but some of the scenes hurt my eyes.

i liked the movie Melina.  It was a sad movie but Monica Bellucci

My favourites have already been mentioned, City of God (Ultimate Fave), Motorcycle Diaries, Oldboy. Irreversible is not a favourite, but it is a goo movie. It is one of those movies that makes you feel so sick watching it, but it is thought-provoking.

A movie that has not been mentioned, Paradise Now. There some elements to the plot I did not like, but overall good movie.

No one has mentioned Tsotsi yet!!?!?!That is definitely one of my favourites. It is a South African film that won the Oscar the Best Foreign Film a couple of years ago. Such a touching movie.

In Johannesburg, the small time criminal Tsotsi is a teenager without feelings, hardened by his tough life. After killing a man with his gang in a robbery; hitting the gangster Boston of his gang; humiliating a crippled beggar along one night, Tsotsi hijacks a car and under the despair of a woman, he shoots her in the stomach. While driving the car, Tsotsi finds that there is a baby on the back seat and the woman was a desperate mother. He brings the baby to his house in the slum and becomes attached to him. For six days, the baby changes his behavior, arousing and developing the sense of empathy and humanity in the cold blood killer.


Next foreign films on my list to watch are Pan's Labyrinth, A Prophet, and another one not mentioned here, Ajami.

Ajami is the religiously mixed community of Jews,Muslims and Christians in Tel Aviv. These are five stories about the everyday life in Ajami.

TAMPOPO-SAN, OMEDETOU

Edit: *+!+, should probably give a description.

Tampopo is a Japanese film with one of Japan's finest actors, Toshiro Mifune. It's about a woman and her conquest to becoming the best ramen cook. It also has some other scenes that deal with how people interact with their food. A+ movie, would watch again.

Does anybody have Lejos De Africa, or live in either Mexico or South America and is willing to download and reupload it for me? Because I found a site that will let me pay to download it legitimately but it is unavailable in the US and I tried running through a proxy to ip spoof another country but it didn't work

 

[mo matik]

A lot of good recommendations in here.  Some that haven't been mentioned:
