It's slower paced, and based more on the story than any action (there isn't much at all) but I loved the movie. I felt connected to the main character. That was a beautiful movie. I watched it a few times. As well as Yôji Yamada's previous movie The Hidden Blade which dare I say I loved even more! They are both in my category of a masterpiece. And anyone who likes those two movies will love When The Last Sword is Drawn, incredible. | ||

Good polish movies to watch: Dekalog (you can also check other works by this director, the Three Color series: Blue, White, Red; The Double Life of Veronique; Short Movie About Killing etc.) Dzień Świra This are all deep movies, but what we do best is comedies. Seksmisja Kiler Chłopaki Nie Płaczą I have also provided the IMDB links so you can check out the english titles there. | ||

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096126/ This movie has spirit, soul, atmosphere, masterpiece touch. Something that is completely unexistant in modern "culture". | ||

It's not because the American entertainment industry tries to kill off other cultures; it's because mass culture here wants to see them. I've met more people who like them here than I ever have in the US. The myth of dependency theory is that it's a one way street. The American shows don't get the prime time slots, and they make up a minority of what's in the theater yet they still get more viewers, especially online. Gegen die Wand/Head On (technically German, but about Turks and by a Turkish-German director, so they take credit for it.) Yol Günese Yolculuk Günesi Gördüm Head On is the only one I'd consider great, compared to movies from the US/France/Italy, etc. Turkish movies are ok, but they tend to be overdramatic because the public flocks to it. I don't know what country you reside in but in our movie theatres in Sweden there are definitely a lot of Hollywood movies, and you'd have to go to film festivals to see more than a few foreign movies (except Swedish movies) at a theatre. People are sheep and they want to see what's most easily available to them. They are just being brainwashed into believing American cinema is the best while Americans themselves can perhaps be more conscious of their own country. Fatih Akin is a nice director yes, I've seen Head-On and some other of his movies. Head-On has a certain rawness to it, even when speaking of love, which I found refreshing. | ||

My favorite Hungarian movie is Kontroll, as for romanian films, idk, Train of Life was quite good, altough that's a common project. 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days is said to be one of the best recently. | ||

is it ok if I upload some of the movies I have mentioned ? I own all of them and can rip them into avi, without subtitles though, you'd have to look for them but I'm quite sure it should be that hard I can upload Lilja-4-ever for starters, | ||

However I think this is not the right forums to do so. And rest assured that TL forum members are experienced in the mysterious ways of mother-Internet, and are very resourceful. Would anyone here wish to obtain a movie, one would do so easily. I think recommendations and review links will suffice. | ||
