Well, I saw Le Diner de Cons (Dinner Game) And Death at a Funeral which are both funny.
In Bruges is a good one too. But still, Step Brothers is better. -_-;; And most of the movies listed here suck anyways.
Thing is... unless it's a comedy, a movie rarely grasps my attention nowadays.
And a foreign film probably won't be the first to jump into people's heads as the best recent movie they've seen.
Like who the hell names Seven Samurai as the best movie ever? LOLOL nigga plz, you ever see that movie? Your opinion is a joke. Yeah 100 years ago it was fly... but now it's sooo bad. I dare you to watch it without wincing at the movie, they stab each others armpits for god's sake.

is the almost complete lack of foreign films (bare som asian movies which is obvious given TLs userbase) because you guys think they suck or because you just dont watch anything else than hollywood movies? Apart from Vendetta and LOTR movies there are like a ton of foreign movies I cant even remember the name I liked a lot more than all those hollywood blockbusters.
In that regard it still boggles my mind nobody even mentioned "The Sea Inside". Anybody here even seen it? It has like a fuckton of awards (including an Oscar), so it shouldnt even be thaaat underground. Watch that film, its a masterpiece ^^
edit: also "Open your eyes" from the same director is a very very good movie too. Tom Cruise adapted it as "Vanilla Skies" which completely sucked horseshit compared to the original. I was fortunate enough to watch the movie before ever havin heard the story of "Vanilla Skies" so I could enjoy the film without knowing the story. Must suck a little if you watch Vanilla Skies first and Open your Eyes after...
I'm pretty sure it's got a lot more to do with the genre then the fact they are foreign movies. As far as I know slumdog millionnaire and city of god have been mentionned a lot here and they're both foreign.

There's been a lot of good films even in the past few years

Could someone explain what makes V so awesome?
For me it was just boring and simple. It was boring and simple, I had more fun with the Da Vinci code... Bourne Ultimatum for the win... really any Bourne movie... all three were incredible Wait, you don't like V but you are going to say the Bourne series? They're decent movies... but really? Yup and I don't consider them anywhere near the same thing... because they aren't. I also did something called reading so I know the whole other half of the plot the movies didn't go over, I just liked it that much better. I don't even know how you can really compare them to each other.
I'm comparing them on the basis of being a good movie. I think the Bourne series is far more overrated than V for Vendetta, and is nowhere near as good of a movie.

I quite enjoyed slumdog millionaire, although it seems critics and other movie buff friends had issues with it.
What?
It won the academy award for best picture lol. Obviously movie buff people didnt have too much of an issue with it...

i really liked slumdog millionaire. And i even watched it with an open mind, in fact, i thought that it would be some richie rich kind of a comedy or something. (i for some reason thought that "slumdog millionaire" means something like a lazy millionaire or something).
It turned out to be a really good movie. It inspiring too. Dreams can be fulfilled, even if you are just some slumdog (the dream was to get the bitch, the gettin' rich part was just a side plan).
Even though the story is very sad. They lost their parents, they lost everything, and the brother of the protagonist is an asshole, and all the fucking shit they go through, its still a very happy movie.
it IS a girly emotions movie though, some guys don't like it i quess.
Also, LOL at saying that movies like zach and miri make a porno or superbad <_>
Those are so fukcing shit.
I quess they are allright when you watch it with proper people, and proper substances (weed, alcohol)
But do any of you think that you will watch superbad again in 10 years?

Sunshine is like 75% of a really good movie haha yeah me and my friends were all thrilled... well... until the movies gets ridiculously stupid. At that point we just closed the TV and throwed a tantrum at the ruined potential from what could've been an epic movie.
Watching Sunshine was like reading a Stephen King book. You settle in and things are good. Soon you're reminded that the guy has a knack for developing characters and setting that is hard to find in any genre. By 50 pages in you're hooked. The next 300 pages fly by until it turns out that everyone is a radioactive ghost that needs to drink the blood of still-born babies to stay conscious. And you go "fuck".

Leon the professional, definately a classic from the 90's...
also for documentaries, i would strongly suggest u have a go at Zeitgeist, i can honestly say its the only film i watched that changed the way i look at things...

mmm just watched Revolutionary Road, gonna have to say it's one of the best movies I've seen in the last couple of years. Seems to be a movie that you either 'get' or you don't, but still DiCaprio's superb performance can't be denied by anyone.

Basically describes every M Night Shyamalan (sp) movie ever; Interesting premise... gets you hooked... then the twist happens and you do the proverbial facepalm.
I'll throw my support behind Gran Torino, Slumdog Millionaire and Pan's Labyrinth for reasonably recent movies that I really enjoyed.
Conversely I've got to say that There Will Be Blood and Stalker (although it's not recent, it's been mentioned in here) were fucking GARBAGE. I don't know how the hell I sat through both of them... they were terrible.

Children of Men was so good. I will single-handedly make that film a cult classic if I have to distribute a copy to every fraternity in America. It deserves it.

into the wild was very nice. Is there similar movies that are recommended?
I am really in a stressful situation right now and this movie really made me want to get away from everything. Of course, i dont have the balls to do it, but I can fantasize ~_~

Windstruck

My Sassy Girl
