Godzilla minus one
I mean it’s gotta be Parasite (the Korean Movie)
I would enter “memories of murder”. It goes toe to toe with Rear Window as one of the best suspense movies ever made, and MOM would go on my top 50 in any language any genre.
I hated that movie, so predictable I had to stop watching.
Les untouchables. Way better than the American remake.
Great film. Brilliant performances. I think the actor playing Driss is one of the most charismatic. He really nails that role.
Omar Sy
Is that the same as Intouchables? If so, I loved that film!
“Look at it. Now you print, print, print and get out of here!”
American remake
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Why would anyone remake a perfect film?
Why wouldn’t you want to inject Kevin Hart and Jared Leto into the perfect film? Sounds like audiences would really go for that combo!
Uh, it’s Brian Cranston, but still… It didn’t need to be done.
Ah, sorry, I had a running joke with a friend about Leto being injected into films for unclear reasons and it escaped here. My bad.
Shaolin Soccer
Shaolin Soccer is great, but I think Kung-Fu Hustle edges it out for me.
Without being able to log into my Jellyfin atm, so relying on the jelly between my ears:
- Y tu mamá también (2001)
- Waltz with Bashir (2008)
- Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000)
There is no ‘favorite’ in cinema imho!
Very solid picks!
There are so many, but I think my first choice would probably have to be Seven Samurai. It is such an amazing piece of cinema. One of the most influential pieces that has inspired almost all of the film we still see today.
Great choice. In a similar vein - Rififi.
Very solid choice! It’s another one that has been an inspiration to so much of modern cinema.
Most obviously including La Cercle Rouge by Melville which I prefer to Rififi
that rain… love it
Came here to write this, so many movie tropes have their roots in that movie and Kurosawas genius directing. Also the sounds and emotions in the original Japanese language are so brilliantly conveyed, it loses so much in dubbing.
Ugly Stepsister
The most recent The Count of Monte-Cristo from France is an absolute work of art:
Yojimbo
Akira Kurosawa + Toshiro Mifune = Some of the best movies ever!
Idk if it fully counts cause I watched the dubbed version but Your Name is amazing.
No, Your Name is amazing.
Let the right one in.
There was also a French film very similar to Chappie that was decent.
Great movie!!
Let the Right one in is such an excellent movie!
Troll Hunter Amelie The Orphanage The Host
I notice one of those is not like the others.
Had to scroll too far to find The Orphanage. Seriously in my top 5 of all time
Surely it would be more well-known if it had been filmed in English. Really haunting film.
City of Lost Children is my pick. It has such amazing worldbuilding. Drops you in cold with no apologies and trusts you to just go on the ride.
Oh what a ride it is… that scene with the ship… Holy cats!
My favorite line… “Silence, legume!”
The flea scene blew me away the first time I saw it. Still does. Also, Ron Perlman is always awesome.
- Let the Right One In
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
- Amelie
- Ong Bak
- Banlieue-13/District B13
City of God
If you liked that you might also enjoy Elite Squad.
