You have no taste snoopcester Send a noteboard - 31/08/2010 08:10:26 PM
and I was not impressed. Oh, it's not a bad movie, but I certainly don't think it's among the best 100 non-English-language movies ever.


I'd rate above at least Night Watch on that list
It is hard to say without having seen all of the films there but I think it was done very well as the type of film it is.

And nice amount, I don't think anyone's going to beat you there, judging by how Jens has barely seen more than me.


And you two have a head start, language wise since my native cinema is exluded. Also, I've just realised that The Proposition wouldn't qualify since it is Australian.

Empire's 100 Best Films of World Cinema Legolas - 31/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 1665 Views
As for my quibbles with the list... Legolas - 31/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 1052 Views
Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM* Palatine - 31/08/2010 05:51:00 PM 493 Views
It usually means non-English language films *NM* snoopcester - 31/08/2010 06:36:34 PM 468 Views
Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:19 PM 910 Views
No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2010 10:55:18 PM 368 Views

Hey I've only seen 21 ironclad - 31/08/2010 03:40:54 PM 966 Views
My opinion of their list rose by a fair bit when I saw La vita รจ bella was not on it. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:56:15 PM 944 Views
What exactly is Battle Royale doing there? Lordling - 31/08/2010 04:07:46 PM 1063 Views
Juno is Canadian-American though. ironclad - 31/08/2010 07:40:20 PM 968 Views
I'm quite surprised to see that La Vita e bella (Life is Beautiful) isn't on the list. *NM* Missa Sedai - 31/08/2010 04:51:53 PM 656 Views
Me too. Pleasantly surprised. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:47 PM 482 Views
Really? I thought the movie was fantastic and well-made. *NM* Missa Sedai - 01/09/2010 12:36:05 AM 489 Views
In fairness, Roberto Benigni being an overrated ass doesn't mean his only good film isn't good. Legolas - 01/09/2010 01:01:21 AM 978 Views
