fat.tail.event Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Each of us probably has an off-the-beaten-path favorite that is worth noting. Or maybe an old flick that hasn't gotten enough attention lately. Since RWG has users from all over, I will throw out a foreign film that really really impressed me. It is called Elling...was nominated for an Academy Award in 2001...about two mentally challenged roomates who move out of the hospital together and help one another through life, daily trials.

Shundi Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hmm I like this topic: A recent favorite is Sunshine... it's sci fi meets horror http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448134/ Also, saw Vanilla Sky recently and really liked that... http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=vanil...amp;x=0&y=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Two little known movies that are popular in my circle: The Prime Gig with Ed harris and Vince Vaughn. The original "Boiler Room" made in 1992. Although both stories are probably boring and slow for most, they accurately depict the business I have been in for the last 12 years, investments. i have seen a lot of scams in my carreer, although never participated in any, and these movies accurately depict a couple of old time phone scams. It is good to watch these movies just to know what to look for and make sure you don't get scammed yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Try two good British films: Adulthood and a Boy A. Also Babylon AD with Vin Diesel was pretty enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 It's been a long time since I've seen it (I viewed this film once, when I was 15 at 12:00am on PBS) but if I do recall correct, 'A Thousand Pieces of Gold' is a good film. I'd love to see it again... Link to imdb listing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonSlayer Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Too many to recommend in this post, however in terms of foreign films I'm quite a fan of Japanese films (all genres) and Hong Kong action cinema. Try "Battle Royale" a Japanese film about misbehaved school kids who are forced to survive an all-against-all in a remote island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 In the off-the-beaten-path catagory ... Clerks - started Kevin Smith's Career Chasing Amy - another of Smith's ... maybe his best actually Roger Dodger - hard to describe, but a dark movie about a loner trying to teach his nephew the art of scoring with women American History X - disturbing subject matter, but wonderful acting job by Edward Norton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
