Good Movies ?

A Playstation game with the same title? I've never heard of it. Anyway, it's just a movie based on the book of the same title by Eiji Yoshikawa, which is a great novel, by the way. However, it's quite expensive, $30 for each DVD on Amazon. Ouch!!

It's the first time since in a long time I'm going through Woody Allen movies, and I'm really enjoying them! First Take the Money and Run, which was really funny And then there was especially one scene in Everything you wanted to know about Sex but where afraid to ask, where that guy comes and says he's a love in a sheep, and there's this awkward silence. Then I just cracked up
Hannah and her Sisters were cute too.

I enjoy Kurosawa.

I am not really into anime...but I'll give it a shot. I'm not sure though, that I'll find 'Grave of the Fireflies' at Blockbuster.

You guys seem to be getting on the right track .... any work of Takeshi Kitano is worthwhile.

I saw Man on Fire the other day. It was awesome.

Ingmar Bergman's Fanny and Alexander is fantastic, as is Andrei Tarkovskij's Andrei Rublyov—IMHO two of the finest films ever.

For a more recent (and shorter and less depressing ) film, I recommend The Triplets of Belleville.

Since people are recommending Japanese directors, I'll mention Juzo Itami (Tampopo, A Taxing Woman, Minbo).

An obscure but fun movie is the Australian comedy Malcolm about a geeky inventor and some bank robbers who carry out a heist using (among other things) a wandering pack of remote controlled ashtrays. The movie also features a Volkswagen beetle that splits in half down the center and drives off as two separate vehicles...

Hear you ... a masterpiece !

I saw that recently too!!! pretty crazy stuff wasnt it?

My two cents... The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy

Or how about 13th Warrior?

"Messenger" about Joan D'arc and 100 year war, lots of blood and gore but life in medieval times was like that.

New films I've seen recently are "Saw" and "Collateral". "Saw" was very twisted, but ok and "Collateral" was pretty good. I also recently bought "Taking Lives" on DVD and that was great IMO.

Wow, I must be in the wrong forum. Cause I would never want to hang out with a bunch of people who watched movies like these.
Are you sure we are talking about real movies? I think that not only do I not watch the channels that show these movies, but I erase the channel every time I reprogram my TV.
Give me a South Park marathon, the Matrix, Blazing Saddles and Nova and I'm a happy camper.

I like most of Luc Besson's work (despite the blood) and the couple of Itami flicks I've seen...can't remember names. Will look out for Fanny...

Bergman's latest film, "Serenade" (it's from 2002-2003) is also a nice little piece from an old master.

"Tombstone of fire flies": quite a sad movie. i don't think Gokul will be able to find this in your place.
"Tears of the sun( bruce willis) : quite a good movie also. it answers the question "why does somebody risk his life to safe others when he knows that he is going to die ?".

Watch "Team America: World Police" It has to be one of the funnest movies I have ever seen. Beware; some of the content may be consider this movie to be "offisive". So don't say I did warn you.

Donnie Darko... good stuff.
