    Anyone seen City of God? Definite 10/10 for me, easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. Was released a few years back and is a Brazilian movie. Storyline is superb, highly recommended. You won't regret watching this. I'm definitely gonna watch it again sometime.
    screw it

      Yes, seen it, very good movie indeed. I think it's strongest point is the storyline, a lot of interesting connections/flashbacks.

      Speaking of Brazilian, anyone seen the movie called 'Brazil'? It's not Brazlilian, Terry Gilliam directed it, and it has Robert De Niro in it as well. Not a movie for everyone, but I've found it very impressive.

          I like the enthusiasm . Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile are another two of my favourites. Of course not as good as City of God but both are great films as well.

            I'm pretty sure I seen that video in school and had to write an essay on it!

            BTW anyone seen Slumdog Millionaire, what a film! And what a soundtrack!

                City Of God was indeed pure genius and a real classic.

                I'd recommend if you haven't seen those yet Fight Club, Zodiac and Forrest Gump. Watched those movies so many times I can practically say the lines before the actors even speak.

                  My Recommendation

                  Watched the Liam Neeson movie : Taken
                  Superb!!! One of the best action movies ever. The storyline is also very disturbing.

                    "Don't Look Now" is on tonight at 12.05 on ITV. Sinister and mysterious, and Julie Christie looking glorious; British film-making doesn't get any better. If you haven't seen it before the ending will give you a sleepless night or two.

                      I hope some of you have seen The Third Man now? I got hold of an blue-ray copy of it, and I was absoultely stunned at how good it looked!

                      Another truly great film that is gobsmacking on blue-ray is la salaire de la peur (wages of fear).

                      To be living in this age, when the great classics of all ages is coming out in high definition, is just a dream come true! Sometimes I have to pinch my arm to believe it!

                        I agree Hege... one wouldn't normally think of B&W on Blu-Ray... but the grayscale range and contrast and detail in the darks and highlights renews my preference for the Film Noire (et Blanche) art form.

                          Yeah well some people are not aware of the fact that ordinary film actually have about 4-5 times higher definition than full HD. So, given that the original rolls have not been damaged or lost, a film made 70 years ago will on a big cinema screen look better than the latest episode of for example House (unless that show is shot on film too).

                          But it is a bit of a shock to the system to see old classics like Casablanca looking almost as if they were made yesterday!

                              Yeah, it scared me the first time i saw it. I just didn't know who was in the red coat and part of me wanted to know, while the other part feared for Donald Sutherland. His desperation made for edge of your seat suspense. If you want more sophisticated horror, check out Rosemary's Baby.
