How could I forget, Full Metal Jacket! That makes it 11, oh well.

Any movie by Stanley Kubrick, aside from Eyes Wide Shut, is a great movie. What was he thinking with Tom and Nicole doing a movie like that?

I'm a big fan of Takeshi Kitano and my starting list had a couple of his movies but I decided to stick with one. Anyone else really into his stuff?

Post by **Eldo** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 2:22 am

I've seen Zatoichi, great action, although I can't say much about the plot....

INFERNAL AFFAIRS!! WATCH IT!! It's gonna be made to hollywood by the name of the Departed, where Martin Scorsese is directing and Matt Damon and Leonardo Decrapio is starring. Hollywood always butcher great foreign films.

Post by **mrJotaan** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 2:35 am

I've seen a lot of movies similiar to Zatoichi where there wasn't much plot and all I can say is that what makes these movies great is what isn't said. It's hard to really explain it properly but I've seen a lot of Japanese movies and thought by North American standards, nothing is happening. A movie like Seven Samurai, for the people who haven't seen it, I won't ruin it but you pretty much know they're gathering up samurai to protect the village. During that time of finding samurai, there's some dialogue but not a whole lot yet this movie is still rated one of the best movies of all time. It's hard to explain why this method of directing movies is effective but it just seems to be that way.

No, but I'm into foreign films, cos they'll usually better than the usual Hollywood trash that seems to be producing. I like Asian (Korean, Japanese, Hong Kong) cinema alot, so if I see a film floating around on the net....

Post by **dos.azn** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 6:49 am

sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. the plots for korean movies sometimes seem repetitive, not directly but you know

Post by **Dark_Zilo** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 11:23 am

although some seem repetitive a lot of them are great concepts that are even copied by hollywood
if asian films had the budgets of hollywood films you would see cinema at his full glory - but even with their budgets now they make better films than hollywood

Post by **Libaax** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 12:26 am

Of course asian movies are better why do you think hollywoo likes to copy them,look at the several japanese horror films that they copy.

Action movies are ten times better than hollywood action.
