off the top of my head, Old Boy. It's in korean which may turn off a lot of people, but it's a pretty amazing movie, very original.

It has one of the greatest/most realistic fight scenes, where the main character beats up about 20 guys in a hallway.

the plot is about this guy that is imprisoned in a room for 15 years without knowing why and then suddenly released and given five days to solve the mystery.

Dick Van Cock - your list interests me yet I see you failed to mention Gregor Voss' "Here Child, Finish Your Nothing". Was this perhaps an oversight?

In Estonia Shaun Of The Dead was not a known movie, but it's really good

 

[AFA]

IFC, The Sundance Channel, and Film Movement all feature a lot of really good independent films. :thumbsup:

Dick Van Cock - Your post pulls down my pants and taunts me. I am already your symbolic cleaning woman. Sadly I am unable to play youtube clips at present. This borrowed computer is driving me insane. There, I am insane now!

"Dead men don't wear plaid" is one of my all time fav Steve Martin films, followed by "The Jerk"

For those who try to comprehend the incomprehensible:

Shoah

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090015/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoah_(film)

I very rarely give a 10/10 rating but this deserves 11/10. Schindler's List has unfortunately gained the status of the definitive holocaust movie, while in fact it is a sentimental pile of crap.

Watch Lanzmann's subtle, epic study instead. Spielberg's two hour-feature is a waste of time, the nine-hour long Shoah is a realistic journey into the abyss.

Sorry for spoiling the party! :o Bring on some happy fun films! Something Ethel Merman-ny or Jimmy Durante-ly.

the 13th warrior is an adventure film set in viking times. and so much more.

the prestige actually appears on the good film thread 16 times

why we fight is another favorite on the freeones. hatsoff:to Blakey for turning me onto it) a documentary about the military/industrial complex.

Three I can think of right now: Machinist, The Jacket, Special,

I know theres more, and I'll add them when I think of them. Good thread.

Two great calls on the Machinist,one of the most under appreciated movies to come out in say the last 5-10 years,and what can I say about Oldboy?Fucking great,that's what I'll say.The hallway fight alone is worth seeing this movie.Great call guys.:thumbsup:

RepoMan.

I sort of like the old horror movie The Blob.

I remember liking Labyrinth a long time ago...although maybe that was just because the last time I seen it, it was so long ago I was too young and stupid to know any better.

Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3). Yes 1 and 2 are great but not enough is said about this one, even if it is the third best in the series.
