Just watched this again for about the tenth time. It's my favourite film bar none.

Who else has seen it? City of Men and Elite Squad aren't bad either.
Any other World Cinema classics you like? I think we should petition to get HTH to watch it. Broaden his horizons a little ;D
An all-time classic for sure man! Love 'City of God.' :cool:
One of my favourite international films is 'Seven Samurai' by Akira Kurosawa. Just perfection...
It would be hard enough to get HTH to watch a subtitled film by itself, but add to that the fact that it is in Black & White and I think we can safely say there is a better chance of Bilbo not being a pedophile. :-\
Haha i'll look out for that. There are a few on here that watch subtitled films. I used to be a right snob until i bought Tell No One, not realising it was in French until i stuck it on. After about 5 minutes i forgot i was even reading the subtitles. Have you seen city of men?Quote:

Yeah City of Men can't help being compared to City of God which is unfair but inevitable. Same with Elite Squad. I first saw City of God on Film 4 i think. Channel 4 and Film 4 have been pretty good lately. Timecrimes was on last week and Tony Manero was on about 3 weeks ago.Quote:

is there a car chase at the end?
if not........im out
Yeah sort of. Not at the end though. Actually it's not really a car chase. There's guns in it though. And sex, and violence. And a guy who looks a lot like Emmanuel Adebayor. If that doesn't swing it, then i don't know what will.Quote:

Never seen Sin Nombre man, but I think I know the film. Is it about people from a country in South or Central America (can't remember where!) making a journey to the USA as illegal immigrants? Something along those lines anyway.
