crouching tiger hidden dragon

hero
house of flying daggers (how cool was the drum and ribbon scene?!?)

'city of the lost children' is an odd one. think it was made by the same bloke as delicatessen, the same actors are in it. actually they are in a whole string of french movies.

I've seen:

crouching tiger
hero
house of flying daggers
city of god <- interesting facts on imdb about that!

Il Cyclone
Das boot

No doubt i've forgotten plenty, wanted to see motor cycle diaries but i missed it at the theatres. Mad

Haha cheesy martial arts films are cool too, haven't seen many though. Laughing

I guess with SP you do get alot of time to watch things hehe.

The Idiots!! thats nuts that movie.

almost filled my pants laughing when they let that idiot drive the bus on the factory tour!!!

maybe that would be a great idea for overcoming SA!!!! form a group like the idiots, then we could draw attention to ourselves but still be hiding behind the idiot facade.

Il Postino
La vita e bella
Betty Blue
trio colour triology
Stalingrad
Das Boot
La Femme Nikita

and recently I have seen the excellent german film 'Downfall' ,its about the last days of Hitler and is compelling viewing

"Amelie" is an amazingly insightful, original and beautiful movie. I recommend it to anybody with a good sense of artistic taste and I recommend it in particular to socio-phobic women. =)

The best foreign film I watched had to be City of God. It is a must watch.
