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 1734 Views
As for my quibbles with the list... Legolas - 31/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 1113 Views
Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM* Palatine - 31/08/2010 05:51:00 PM 523 Views
It usually means non-English language films *NM* snoopcester - 31/08/2010 06:36:34 PM 501 Views
Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:19 PM 962 Views
No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2010 10:55:18 PM 397 Views
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert would've been a shoe-in otherwise... *NM* Legolas - 01/09/2010 12:14:28 AM 412 Views

Hey I've only seen 21 ironclad - 31/08/2010 03:40:54 PM 1020 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 1007 Views
What exactly is Battle Royale doing there? Lordling - 31/08/2010 04:07:46 PM 1130 Views
Juno is Canadian-American though. ironclad - 31/08/2010 07:40:20 PM 1035 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 684 Views
Me too. Pleasantly surprised. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:47 PM 505 Views
Really? I thought the movie was fantastic and well-made. *NM* Missa Sedai - 01/09/2010 12:36:05 AM 519 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 1032 Views

I've seen a whopping 4.....but in my defense, I hate subtitles, so I just don't watch these movies *NM* Brian - 31/08/2010 07:49:38 PM 562 Views
Well, you miss out on a ton, then. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:59:33 PM 485 Views
Indeed....many of them are available on Netflix streaming though, so maybe I'll watch some soon *NM* Brian - 31/08/2010 08:17:39 PM 516 Views

Well, I don't think that she could have made that movie IN Iran... Tom - 02/09/2010 09:51:17 PM 956 Views
Night Watch? Really? Fun book, bad movie. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/09/2010 07:29:58 AM 455 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 968 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 986 Views
