It's based on a book On December 20 2009 19:22 Shauni wrote: Sion Sono is a controversial japanese director, often involving difficult themes as religion & cults, suicide, media and a question of identity. Love Exposure is a genious 4 hour movie, other good movies from him are Noriko's Dinner Table and Suicide Circle. cool list A few days agoI finally managed to dl love exposure after having read about it a while ago but then I found out that a local "alternative" theatre is gonna play the movie on the 2nd and 3rd of january, really looking forward to that. Btw if so. is gonna look for love exposure, make sure you dont end up watching the trailer for the korean movie "love exposure"... I was really confused when I saw the trailer of some shitty sex and the city like love movie bullshit. Some German movies I've liked (I dont watch many though I must admit) some of them were already mentioned: Das Leben der Anderen - got an Oscar over Pan's Labyrinth, very good movie Lammbock - If you like getting stoned, and want a good comedy about it watch this Das Boot - Classic Anything by Werner Herzog, his latest movies have been english though (like Grizzly man, great documentary) | ||

-Trainspotting -Anything by Mike Leigh, in particular Abigails Party (TV film) and, well...Vera Drake is the most famous I guess, but all good. - Theres a movie called "My Brother Tom" which I'd call one of my top10 favourite films, but its very hard to find anywhere, even in UK (might be on google video though I think) - Monty Python films. - Four Weddings and Funeral and The Full Monty. Among the best British comedies. - Once - In the Loop | ||

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. I'm in Turkey, and American cinema/tv is better than Turkish cinema/tv, but I don't think they're watching it simply because of marketing. Most of the kids here watch it on Megavideo, not tv. You're right that the general public makes questionable choices, but it's the same as in the US and I don't think it's simply because of cultural imperialism. Shows like Mad Men and Friday Night Lights get plenty of publicity and are pushed like crazy, but most people just don't watch them. I'd criticize the public, not "multi-million dollar American entertainment industry" for that. | ||

You can love a movie and find it fascinating without understanding the language at all. Missing a joke or two because of bad subtitles? Oh how horrifying! A good movie isn't built upon language and dialogue, even though many movies are. Well people have different definitions of what a good movie is. Personal tastes you know ... which depends quite a lot of your culture and ... of your country. As i said some foreign movie can achieve blockbuster status but still ... there a lot more who can't not because they are worse but because they have less exposition or because it is hard to identify oneself with the characters or the situation if you aren't born in the very same culture ... For example i have recommanded here a couple of times "Man bites dog" and all the American people who watched it said it was meh and not funny. Why ? Because they don't get the jokes, all the references and the hilarious Belgian accent. I really wonder how you can translate the joke about the petit Grégory for example. How could you get it if you are not French or Wallon ? And yea before you make your answer " but is just one joke blablabla ", i just want to point out that i don't want to write about every small references you won't get in every French movie i liked. So my advice is that people should only watch foreign "mainstream" movies or blockbusters ( People have made some nice lists so far ). Some movies are only accessible if you are deeply immersed in country X culture and i would definitly not recommend this kind of films to the average TL teenager who might find it uninteresting. Another example of a very good mainstream foreign film: Good Bye Lenin ! | ||

Lola Rennt was also a great movie  But now back on topic. 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. I suppose Ondskan didn't quite do it for me, it's not a bad movie obviously so it could go on the list, but I completely forgot about it, it's not very special to me...  | ||

Always with a serious backgroud, they never fail to make you wet your pants. ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/84/Adam%27s_Apples.jpg) Adams Apples ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/36/Flickering_lights.jpg) Flickering Lights "In China they eat dogs" is also tremendously funny I hear (same director). | ||
