Great thread.
Y'all should check out "Clockers" and "She's Gotta Have It". Both Spike Lee joints.

I was looking through some of my blu ray/dvds last night & I didn't realize how many foreign movies I have. A lot of people don't watch them because of subtitles or overdubs but here are some incredible films I highly recommend.
Night Watch
A Russian horror/sci-fi/fantasy flick where the plot moves pretty quickly with a lot of action & special effects. This is a fan made trailer that's better than the studio released versions.
Brotherhood of the Wolf
Oldboy
Can't wait to see the Spike Lee remake. Interested to see what he does.
City of God
The Killer
Put John Woo & Chow Yun Fat on the map...
Infernal Affairs
The Departed was based on this Chinese movie... More people should see this movie.
Maria Full of Grace
This was such a powerful flick & the actress that played Maria, Catalina Moreno should've gotten more jobs after this...

Agreed. One of the most critically acclaimed movies in the 2000s.
Maria Full of Grace, saw that in a Population and Society college course. Excellent movie.
I always recommend this book to movie buffs. It's like the encyclopedia of movies. He reviews every movie on a **** basis and for the most part I agree with his reviews. He's very impartial.

Highly acclaimed, but disregarded by general population.
Still one of my favs all time.
This movie really messed with me. Literally broke up with my ex that same night so got on Netflix and wanted to cheer up, looked through the comedy section and decided to watch it....This movie is not a comedy! had me all in my feelings and I didn't even like the girl that much

A lot of people I know who count themselves as movie heads don't really watch foreign movies for whatever reason so whenever a thread like this has come up from time to time I include it as something I recommend. It's critically acclaimed but not mainstream.
You might have a smaller cable provider or it may have run it's course since it's been out on VOD since mid January. It's available on Netflix. Should be on iTunes also. Some young heads here at work said they saw it on XBOX & PS3. I don't really play video games so I can't confirm. Hope that helps.
Don't look it up & see if you can spot Ed Norton & be sure to watch the director's cut. It's already an epic movie that's long so the director's cut ads another 45 mins which is worth it because it fleshes out the story.

[COLOR=#red]I definitely recommend taking a cinema related course or Pop/society related course as an elective in college if possible. Even if you are a STEM major. It opens your eyes to critical thinking and analysis...not to mention different viewpoints. Makes you a more well rounded person IMO.
Edit: psk, I get your point. True enough.[/COLOR]

Yeah I'm going to look for the director's cut. And I already know he's probably the king just from watching the trailer and reading your post

There are some historical inaccuracies with the movie that you can research on "the internets" if you care to. I've always been fascinated by the crusades but the errors didn't bother me as much like they did with a movie like Oliver Stone's Alexander (which was terrible IMO). I liked how Nasir, the Muslim commander was portrayed (actor Alexander Siddig) & I really liked the portrayal of Salah al-Din (Ghassan Massoud). Post back & let me know what you thought...

I dont think it's possible to have a fave Spielberg film, but this movie is damn near flawless, on point casting and acting too, the side characters made the most of their screen time even if they were there for a min. Def felt like i got my moneys worth when i saw this in the theatre!
Great film! I'll watch anything with kate winslet in it. The book is amazing as well!
