I sense a few amazon.com orders coming soon. Vodalus Send a noteboard - 19/11/2010 06:20:53 AM
92 Ghost In The Shell (Japan)

86 Run Lola Run (Germany)

82 Battle Royale* (Japan)


Unfortunately, I read the book first. The movie was a major disappointment, devoid of almost all the humor and the wonderful little mindfucks that made the book shine.

77 House of Flying Daggers (China)

70 Hard Boiled (Hong Kong)

69 Ringu (Japan)


Saw this in Japan when it first came out. Probably creeped me out more than it did my girlfriend.

66 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (China)

51 Akira (Japan)


Interesting start. Then it just gets bizarre.

31 Godzilla (Japan)

28 Raise the Red Lantern (China)

25 Das Boot (Germany)

20 Y Tu Mamá También (Mexico)

14 Three Colours Trilogy* (Poland)


I picked up the trilogy on sale for $25. While it wasn't a waste of money, I really should've spent it on something else. Pretty woman in each one, though. And all French, I think.

7 City of God (Brazil)

5 Pan's Labyrinth*


Saw this not too long ago. Loved it.

2 Amelie* (France)


Along with P&P** and Bend It Like Beckham*, this is a great flick for when I'm in need of a warm fuzzy. And no, I'm not gay.

1 Seven Samurai* (Japan)
