I'm interested in what you guys think are some great movies out there. I just finished watching The Host (a S.Korean film) and thought it was fantastic. It's about a creature that mutated from dumped formaldehyde into the Han River and attacks a bunch of park people, and is then chased after by a man whose daughter was caught by the monster, and his family. Nice instrumental soundtrack as well.

Feel free to post any old movies or new movies. I'll update it with any movies I check out.

Great movies in general...? Wow, that is really a lot.

But from movies I saw lately for their first time I would nominate at least one:

Trainspotting

What can I say? there is so much packed into this one; humour, hope, tragedy, horror, futility and so much more.

Andrew, I don't know your taste of movies, but knowing you prefer cats over dogs ( ;)), I would recommend to indeed watch Amores Perros. It will make you hate dogs even more, he he. (And, of course, because it is a good movie.)

Check out "The Seventh Seal", one of my favorites. Check out a review on it.

Check out Network, 2001, Chinatown, Maltese Falcon.

those are the movies I have last seen in the past few months. All really good, and everybody loves em, total classics.

I'm having my friend check out Seventh Seal as we speak TMA, so don't let me down!

Oh it wont let you down Acriku. Directed by Ingmar Bergman, brilliant. One of the most profound movies I have ever seen. I had no idea that a movie so soul wrenching could be made at that time, at the same time though I had really no idea on how film progressed in different parts of europe near the middle of the 20th century.lol

check out Network too! You will really appriciate it.

Ok, I have a couple more movies to suggest to the world!

First: Leon (The Professional) - the international version is a must! [just saw Khan recommending it, so call this me double recommending it!]

Second: Shaolin Soccer - a funny movie about soccer and a man's attempt to broaden Shaolin Kungfu to more people's liking. If you liked Kung Fu Hustle, this won't disappoint!

Third: Pirates 3. Just see it. I don't have to explain why :P

Saw The Machinist... wow! What a powerful movie! Also goes to show how dedicated Christian Bale is for dropping to 120 lbs from 180 to play the role. Must see!

Watched Jesus Camp last night. Scary how they brainwash children. A couple times I LOL. Great seeing the repressed homosexual drug addict Ted Haggard on there.

Michael Moore's Sicko has been leaked onto the net (while hiding it in Canada from American prosecutors...). From what I hear from reviews it is a very good movie, a must see movie.

Link Apparently he just admitted he pirated the movie...

Big discussion on slashdot.org about the movie being released onto the internet.

While it doesn't necessarily take from its relevance, I read someone commenting that Sicko is... "well arranged", presenting popular views in popular ways but with "backstage" tricks. A lot would say "yes but it's for the good cause" I guess.

Possible. Maybe I should try that to argue that I am worth being paid to study.

Not so sure I want any and all others to follow his lead at random though.

Or all I'll get is "Alright, it's kind of interesting. I preferred the Matrix."
