I woke, and found that life was Duty.

A good strategy of mine (similar to my John Lennon / After '66 Beatles strategy) is when I'm really stuck, just to get a Hitchcock movie.
It only works because I don't otherwise get those film out. ie. thats the only time i've actually bought John Lennon albums.
Last Hitchcock film i saw was Spellbound
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
i picked it up on e-bay from a film dealer bohs. havent seen it on any rack yet and i may buy the official release anyway just for those mad subtitles !! the version i got was excellent quality and subtitled but not like the day watch package !

85 posts and nobody has mentioned Dekalog. (perhaps as it isnt strictly cinema?)
I recommend Dekalog above all others.

City of God is one of the best films i've seen ever.Top Class!
Going back a bit main stream and for stupid funny i think Dave Basset England Manager is worth a look.Made me laugh
La Haine which was mentioned already is another very good film which should be seen!
Other ones worth a look are Battle Royale and Chopper

Life isn't all beer and football...some of us haven't touched a football in months
In case not mentioned,
13 Tzameti- good French thriller
Mountain Patrol- just a good Chinese/Tibetan flick
Memory of Murders- Korean thriller
Twilight Samurai
The Hidden blade(almost the same movie as Twilight samurai, same director, worth watching though.
Chaos(the French one from a few years back)
Kill Zone", -stupid English title(like Infernal affairs) but pretty decent Hong kong action flick, with some great fight scenes toward the end, will probably be re-made by Hollywood.
"The Aura"- very, very good Argentinian thriller.
Taxi - The original French version is a good laugh.
Kubrick is probably a bit too obvious but Full Metal Jacket and Clockwork Orange are masterpieces, Eyes Wide Shut is not as bad as some critics suggest either.
Tallaght Stadium Regular
I would have said Dekalog, but I wanted to stick to recommending only one Kieslowski film, which is a feature length version of one of the stories anyway.
Dead Mans Shoes, directed by Shane Meadows, director of This is England.
Great show, not to be watched though if you are on acid.... apperently!!
It's only just begun...............
If the last 21 years were class, here's looking forward to the next 21 years. It is our time
I knew there was a movie I was missing and there it is, Hidden, the best movie of last year
Saw Brother, Very good film What is the sequel like?
Another one I recently saw Amandla http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303297/

I'm sure someone must have mentioned the Film Noir classic:
Teen Wolf 2
Quoting years at random since 1975
Actually, this wonderful opus, a forray into the mid-1980's fear of communism and the burgeoning culture of inverse celebrity, e.g. Traci Lords, etc, is properly entitled Teen Wolf, Too, in an effort to distinguish it from the work it succeeds, Teen Wolf; and also to excuse the fact that Michael J Fox was not in it. Nevertheless, to paraphrase the only writer who could successfully rival it's insight, age cannot diminish, not custom mar it.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
yef def agree there
but there are chinese movies that are made for western audiences.......i hate them movies..........."Crouchin Tiger", "Flying daggers", "hero"
rubbish storylines, rubbish acting, rubbish action moves
believe me.......ordinary Chinese TV has much better Kung Fu on all day 24/7
good chinese movies to watch..........
"Fairwell My concubine"
"Beijing Bicycle"
"Raise the red lantern"
"Devils on the doorstep"
and the best Chinese movie of them all........"The shower"...great

also the director Jia Zhang-ke is cool, small time movie maker making movies about life amongst young people in rural chinese towns where nothing much happens, but very quirky
some westerners are too easily fooled
Slapshot is another great one. Its about an Ice Hockey team in a declining industrial Northern US town. Very funny, stars Paul Newman.

I've never laughed so hard.
/Not in a good way.
It's by the same guy who made Old Boy. Sympathy for Mr Vengeance is another of his - I haven't seen it, but it's supposed to be in the same class as the other two.
FUBAR
check out this canadian movie. Its deadly! Think Waynes World crossed with Beavis and Butthead but done in a documentary style... so funny.
