    Battle Royale 2000

    Teenagers are kidnapped and sent to a deserted island. They are told to kill each other as only one survivor will be allowed to leave. Murder and mayhem follow.


    Surprisingly good thriller. Not for the squeamish. Tarantino fans will like it.

    An Egyptian film Al-irharbi / The terrorist - 1994. Quite funny.



    Adel Imam plays Brother Ali, an Islamic radical scheming against the government and Egyptian society. Hurt after escaping the scene of an assassination, he is taken in by a local modern Muslim family unaware of his radical ties. After living with the family and learning about tolerance and love, he has doubts about his views. He is killed by his former comrades after challenging their leader

    Ali Abd-El-Zaher is a member of an Isalmic radical group which has been launching attacks against the government and the society under the orders of the spiritual leader Brother Saif. Ali manages to assasinate an officer but as he escapes from the authorities he gets hit by a car driven by Sewsan,the daughter of a respected Muslim family living in the Maadi district. Sewsan's father who is a surgeon and his family take care of the injured terrorist who then tries to conceal the truth about his personality,such as his dislike of music, unveiled women and Western life styles.

    Downfall (2004)

    I bet everyone reading this thread has seen at least a bit of this film.





    It's an excellent film.

    Although I must admit I've had a chuckle or two at the memes...

    Leviathan



    Hard drinking small town garage owner battles the thuggish mayor and local church to keep his family home.


    Wow. Excellent movie. Russian. 140 minutes of beautifully filmed and finely acted harsh reality.

    Need to watch the latest Sponge Bob movie after this one.

    watched The Rocket tonight.
    Nice movie.
    The writing is Lao but I could understand almost everything they were saying. Guess it is pretty similar to Thai.

    Another Thai movie

    Teacher's Diary (Kit Teung Wittaya) 2014

    A bit soppy and with a few moments of 'thai humour' but hangs together as a watch-able story about a teacher falling in love with another teacher when he is banished to teach on a boat-school on the Mae Hong Son reservoir by reading the diary she leaves behind the year after she suffers the same fate.

    7/10

    ^^Watched Leviathan a couple of months back. Pretty grim but well acted.

    Another Thai movie.

    Palme d'Or winner from 2011

    Uncle Boonmee who can remember his past lives

    Meditative, dreamlike, surreal observational study of a man as he slowly dies among his friends and family. He is visited by the ghosts of his wife and son. Set in an Isaan village. A sequence of distinct extended scenes each one evoking a different mood. Very much 'art cinema'.

    Different.

    7/10

    Watched a Japanese movie called Hero on the plane last night (I'd seen everything else).

    I've already plugged the best Sci Fi ever, Space Battleship Yamato, and the lead in this is the same guy.

    It's about a couple of Japanese prosecutors investigating the death of a young lady near a fictitious foreign embassy. Apparently based on a Japanese drama series.

    It has everything Japanese - complete misinterpretation of foreign culture, hilariously inappropriate soundtrack, and grotesque characterisations.

    Plot wise it can be measured in microns, but it passed the time and was fairly funny.

    Anything by Ingmar Bergman - even the one which critics pan which starred kung fu man David Carradine as a drunk in Germany's inter war years. BTW - Carradine died in Bangkok in 2009.

    hmm
    agree on kurosawa; Kagemusha was very good
    also for Japanese a film called Nobody knows; about a group of kids
    and battle royale of course
    korean; oldboy is very good
    chinese: crouching Tiger was better than Hero (but that was ok to)

    "The Devil's Backbone" by Guillermo Del Toro.


    Spooky tale of a young orphan sent to a Spanish orphanage during the Civil War last century. Sub-plots involve adultery amongst the adult staff, a hoard of gold bars, and the ghost of a young boy brutally killed and dumped in an indoor pool of water.
    Very well made film with a lot going on. Beautiful cinematography, and very involving despite the Spanish soundtrack. I'd recommend his other Spanish language film "Pan's Labyrinth" also, for people that enjoy horror or visceral thrillers.

    ^^ I've downloaded The Devil's Backbone twice and didn't get the promised English subs. If you have recently downloaded a good copy, where?

    ^ Agree Pan's Labyrinth is a good film.
