skylee Posted March 13, 2005 at 11:59 AM Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 at 11:59 AM This thread is for non-Chinese films. I have recommended these films before -> Old Boy 原罪犯 Before Sunset 世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ I saw this movie today and give it 4.5 stars (max 5) -> 36 Quai Des Orfevres (二捕曲) Trailer -> http://video.mingpao.com/mpweekly/trailers/36_cable.asf The main actors are Daniel Auteuil and Gerard Depardieu. Auteuil is superb. A great actor. But I just miss the way he looked (and Andre Dussollier as well) in "Un Coeur en Hiver ". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted March 13, 2005 at 06:45 PM Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 at 06:45 PM See also "Before Sunrise," along with "Before Sunset." The former was more satisfying than the latter, I felt, maybe because I was less jaded back then. I don't think Ethan Hawke has aged well. Julie Delpy, on the other hand, is more alluring than ever.

skylee Posted March 16, 2005 at 03:48 AM Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 at 03:48 AM Jack, of the films you list I like these - Platoon The Terminator Léon The Piano La Haine (I like Mathieu Kassovitz and Vincent Cassel) The Deer Hunter Silence of the Lamb Ben Hur L'Appartement (thumbs up for Vincent Cassel; this film has an American version called "Wicker Park") LA confidential The commitments And though I like the actors and director, I do not think Crimson Rivers is good. Talking about Mathieu Kassovitz, have you seen his "Un Hero Très Discret "? I like this film a lot. But his recent film "Amen" is quite diappointing (I saw this film because he is in it). I think it is a big mistake to make a German film in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 16, 2005 at 03:58 AM Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 at 03:58 AM The next film that I am looking forward to is "Downfall" (希特拉的最後12夜). Bruno Ganz's name alone is enough to pull me into the cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpascoe Posted March 16, 2005 at 03:04 PM Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 at 03:04 PM I like A Night on Earth and Glory. And anything with Indiana Jones in it. He's my hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darph Posted March 18, 2005 at 01:19 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 at 01:19 PM My all-time favourite seems to be My Sassy Girl. I just love to see it. Damn funny movie. My favourite Japanese movies are Twilight Samurai and for anime Ghost in the Shell. "Im Juli" is pretty good (but German); as are "Les Rivières pourpres" (French).

Lu Posted April 25, 2006 at 05:52 PM Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 at 05:52 PM Sepet. Not Oscar material, but an extremely cute movie, and the best ending I ever saw in a romcom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
