I'm dying for a good movie,

I've only been reading some star wars books to the little brother lately, better then the movies...

If foreign movies don't turn you off checkout Amélie, it's a classic.

Froderik:
Ginger- I won’t deny that. There are people who would be upset by that remark and perhaps even pissed at you because you dared compare your branch of hell with theirs saying that yours was worse, but I’m certainly not one of them. Some folks just can’t handle the truth, I guess. They’d proceed to go on about how you “minimized their experienceâ€

Gee Frod, one would think you don't like virginia much...  and i can imagine feeling displaced. at least near home if you do cop out you have somewhere to run.  i can't imagine after running 6 times how steve would have felt being dragged up to cincinnatti... makes sense that he would jump from a moving car just to get away.

i just never understood the need to compare especially if it's from the perspective of "i had it worse than you" lol and? your point? lol that's not aimed at you frod just generally speaking.

I don't normally do foreign films cuz i have double vision, if i want to have a drink while watching a film, which i sometimes do, double vision turns triple.  subtitles are very very annoying when this occurs... lol seriously.

However I did watch Amélie a few years ago and what a great movie.  Plus the lead actress is just so adorable, she really owns the role.  

A few i'd recommend that aren't all that "common".

"Memento", great flick. So is "Primer" if you dont mind watching it a couple times it takes at least 2 viewings to totally "get" what you just watched lol.  "Pi" of course is another fabulous film. "In America" is quite good, about a family from ireland who comes to the US to start a new life, present day. Really great acting, the kids are priceless.

Another really good foreign film is "Nobody Knows" a Japanese movie about 4 siblings who basically get abandoned by their mother and have to fend for themselves.  It's heart breaking yet really great.  at the same time.  Highly recommended if you like good film.

Speaking of a clockwork orange... i need to read the book one of these days. it's by far one of my favorite films but i know the book is much better than the film so yeah i need to check that out.

Yeah Memento is a real mind binder, great film.

Non Foreign films that are pretty good, um...

I liked both Freeways 1 and 2 confessions of a trick baby, Night at the Golden Eagle, Lucky Number Slevin(I was surprised at how good this one was), Life Aquatic... I tend to like indie style movies that are a little off center...
