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 1506 Views
As for my quibbles with the list... Legolas - 31/08/2010 03:01:43 PM 886 Views
Since it's "World Cinema," does that automatically exclude U.S. films? *NM* Palatine - 31/08/2010 05:51:00 PM 416 Views
It usually means non-English language films *NM* snoopcester - 31/08/2010 06:36:34 PM 413 Views
Not only that, it also seems to exclude British, Australian and other English-language ones. Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:19 PM 777 Views
No one minds Australia's exclusion. All they make is bad Jackie Chan films. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 31/08/2010 10:55:18 PM 303 Views
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert would've been a shoe-in otherwise... *NM* Legolas - 01/09/2010 12:14:28 AM 301 Views
And after somebody brought up Requiem for a Dream in the other thread... Legolas - 01/09/2010 02:15:51 PM 733 Views
Hey I've only seen 21 ironclad - 31/08/2010 03:40:54 PM 809 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 796 Views
What exactly is Battle Royale doing there? Lordling - 31/08/2010 04:07:46 PM 908 Views
Juno is Canadian-American though. ironclad - 31/08/2010 07:40:20 PM 775 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 532 Views
Me too. Pleasantly surprised. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:57:47 PM 409 Views
Really? I thought the movie was fantastic and well-made. *NM* Missa Sedai - 01/09/2010 12:36:05 AM 422 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 840 Views

No, but I've heard a fair bit about it. Legolas - 31/08/2010 10:23:49 PM 791 Views
Good point Camilla - 01/09/2010 11:06:15 AM 754 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 453 Views
Well, you miss out on a ton, then. *NM* Legolas - 31/08/2010 07:59:33 PM 381 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 424 Views

Well, I don't think that she could have made that movie IN Iran... Tom - 02/09/2010 09:51:17 PM 745 Views
Night Watch? Really? Fun book, bad movie. *NM* Ghavrel - 01/09/2010 07:29:58 AM 361 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 778 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 770 Views
