And after somebody brought up Requiem for a Dream in the other thread... Legolas Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 02:15:51 PM
Christiane F - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo should've been on the list too. Every bit as chilling as Requiem for a Dream, perhaps even more so (not in the least because the characters dying of heroin overdoses are twelve or thirteen...), plus Bowie's great music.

Empire's 100 Best Films of World Cinema Legolas - 31/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 1693 Views
As for my quibbles with the list... Legolas - 31/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 1071 Views
Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM* Palatine - 31/08/2010 05:51:00 PM 503 Views
It usually means non-English language films *NM* snoopcester - 31/08/2010 06:36:34 PM 480 Views
Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:19 PM 928 Views
No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2010 10:55:18 PM 379 Views
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert would've been a shoe-in otherwise... *NM* Legolas - 01/09/2010 12:14:28 AM 391 Views

Hey I've only seen 21 ironclad - 31/08/2010 03:40:54 PM 986 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 970 Views
What exactly is Battle Royale doing there? Lordling - 31/08/2010 04:07:46 PM 1087 Views
Juno is Canadian-American though. ironclad - 31/08/2010 07:40:20 PM 1004 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 666 Views
Me too. Pleasantly surprised. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:47 PM 492 Views
Really? I thought the movie was fantastic and well-made. *NM* Missa Sedai - 01/09/2010 12:36:05 AM 498 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 998 Views
We may have to fight, now. Camilla - 01/09/2010 10:47:45 AM 951 Views

Well, I don't think that she could have made that movie IN Iran... Tom - 02/09/2010 09:51:17 PM 917 Views
Night Watch? Really? Fun book, bad movie. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/09/2010 07:29:58 AM 434 Views

I've seen one Haneke movie (La Pianiste), and I've decided I'm going to keep it that way. Legolas - 01/09/2010 04:08:55 PM 938 Views
I haven't seen any of his other films so I'm not sure what to expect really Stephen - 01/09/2010 04:26:40 PM 952 Views
