    • Hi everyone :)

      i'm a great fan of foreign films, so does anyone here have anything good to recommend?

      A few that i really like are Das Boot (Germany), Broken Wings (Israel), Blind Shaft (China), Crying out love in the centre of the world (Japan), Love me if you dare (France), Monsieur Shlomi(Monaco) etc

      How about cult films? any must-watch?

    • a few movies i enjoyed watching:

      =>  Savage Nights or Le Nuits Fauves
      a bisexual man who is HIV-positive learns about love in a madly destructive passionate woman

      => Clerks
      the misadventures of two store clerks with dead end jobs.. a laugh until you hurt insane comedy..

      => Go Fish
      friends try their damnest to get their single friend hooked up... thing is.. they're all lesbians.. hilarious date movie, only lesbian

      => Tetsuo - The Iron Man
      a salaryman runs over a metal fetishist and he starts mutating.. and the madness starts...

      => Eraserhead
      weirdass movie about this dull man, his weird and horrible girlfriend and his mutant child

      => This Is Spinal Tap
      a "Rockumentary" about a fictitious rock band, the ups downs and stupidity on the road...

      => Freaks
      a circus midget marries a woman and his friends find out she's only out to get his inheritance.. freaky as hell

      => Plan 9 From Outer Space
      called the worst movie ever made, it was so bad it was hilarious..

      => A Clockwork Orange
      so.. is enforced "good" as evil as naturally occuring evil?

      ... and so many more

      the establishment of course... Alex is "treated" in such a way that he loses his free will.. even if that free will is ultraviolence..

      so.. is an enforced "good" good at all?

      yep i enjoyed all Kevin Smith's, and Stanley Kubrick's too.

      now what i personally feel is that the "good" itself is very subjective. I'd say no.

      as much as we want to live in a no crime society, we don't want to live in a 1984.

      His films are very good and very controversial!

       

      For something not that controverisal but good too you can try movies like Eklavya: The Royal Guard or even some brainless Hindi movie like Neal & Nikki icon_lol.gif or their version of Action movie Dhoom (I think it's better than Dhoom 2)

      Or any Shahrukl Khan movie but then I would be being bias here embarrassed.png

      Cashback was pretty quirky and humourous. Left a deep impression!

      Thumbs up for Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz too!
