I've seen eight but Cache is on tonight so I'll watch that. Stephen Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 03:56:31 PM
I'm suprised Delicatessen isn't higher. I'd say it's one of the best films I've seen.

Also, the Night Watch doesn't deserve to be on it. I've seen the Russian and international edits and they're both only passable fantasy/action films.

Empire's 100 Best Films of World Cinema Legolas - 31/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 1614 Views
As for my quibbles with the list... Legolas - 31/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 997 Views
Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM* Palatine - 31/08/2010 05:51:00 PM 471 Views
It usually means non-English language films *NM* snoopcester - 31/08/2010 06:36:34 PM 446 Views
Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:19 PM 862 Views
No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2010 10:55:18 PM 346 Views
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert would've been a shoe-in otherwise... *NM* Legolas - 01/09/2010 12:14:28 AM 355 Views
And after somebody brought up Requiem for a Dream in the other thread... Legolas - 01/09/2010 02:15:51 PM 836 Views
Hey I've only seen 21 ironclad - 31/08/2010 03:40:54 PM 919 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 901 Views
What exactly is Battle Royale doing there? Lordling - 31/08/2010 04:07:46 PM 1003 Views
Juno is Canadian-American though. ironclad - 31/08/2010 07:40:20 PM 890 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 623 Views
Me too. Pleasantly surprised. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:47 PM 459 Views
Really? I thought the movie was fantastic and well-made. *NM* Missa Sedai - 01/09/2010 12:36:05 AM 466 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 936 Views

No, but I've heard a fair bit about it. Legolas - 31/08/2010 10:23:49 PM 885 Views
Good point Camilla - 01/09/2010 11:06:15 AM 855 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 509 Views
Well, you miss out on a ton, then. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:59:33 PM 430 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 465 Views

Well, I don't think that she could have made that movie IN Iran... Tom - 02/09/2010 09:51:17 PM 841 Views
Night Watch? Really? Fun book, bad movie. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/09/2010 07:29:58 AM 396 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 870 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 880 Views
