I myself am a bit of a film buff, but i never see the opportunity to talk flicks round these parts... even though I know a couple of the CPT AG fam who is got mad intersting cinematic tastes...

I'm a Woody Allen fan... there's somehting about his narcissism which i find endearing.
Anything with Bill Murray in it.
I'm also a film noir buff (its one of those film school pretensions i picked up) anything with Peter Lorre in it. Anything written by Dashiell Hammett.
Anime and live action Japanese film.. from Akira to Zatoichi, to Perfect Blue to Cowboy Bebop.
BRITISH film, they do realness, realer than anybody else... check out old school Ray Winstone in the cla**ic Filth... the original Get Carter wit Michael Caine (in fact anything wit Michael Caine)
WW2 era cla**ics... The Guns of Navarone, Eye of the Needle, The Safecracker.... Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes.
Any war movie with Ernest Borgnine, David Niven and Lee Marvin is going to be good.
Blaxploitation goodness.. the best soundtracks and OG pimps puttin the jive down on honky bitches... Black Coffee, Sheba Baby, Superfly, ... if it had Fred williamson or Richard Rountree in it its the shiznit... also look out for Joe 'O Neal.
Kung fu goodness... Bruce Lee (of course), Black Belt Jones, the blind monk, House of the white crane, SHaolin mysteries, The Boxer Rebellion.
SPANISH films are f***in good... pedro Almoldovar's work before he started in Hollywood is good shit... also this Spanish indie director Hernan Perez.
And cheesy Italian and Australian comedies... they do some of the best. check The Return of Hercules..... TOO funny!!!!

Hey if you fidn anything to talk about in here... cool, films are a great way to go someplace else and feel something... just like good music.
NOBODY TELLS ME I'M COOL, HARD TO TALK WHEN YO TEETH CHATTERING.

- l'auberge espagnole (the spanish apartment) - brilliant
- monsieur n - love this movie
- usual suspect - cla**ic
- dazed and confused - another cla**ic in my opinion
- amelie
- samsara
- dog days - set in bulgaria
- trainspotting
- before sunset - i loved the concept of just having two people in a conversation in a movie where rarely other people play feature. the dialogue is witty and frank and very refreshing - it's like watching a verbal relay and one never gets bored.

anything by stephen frears, stanley kubrick and so many more that don't come to mind at this moment. i'm also a huge doccie watcher.

- jenin jenin
- the revolution will be televised
- whoever bears the scars remembers
- in the name of bhudda
- il piu crudele dei giorni (the cruelest day) - almost like the veronica guerin story but this reporter (ilaria alpi) was italian and was a**a**inated in magadishu for uncovering something the italian government had going on in the place at the time of the civil war. it is the longest running story in italy - 9 years on and still no truth about what happened to here - made headlines for 9 years in newspapers in italy.
My parents said i could be whatever i wanted, so i chose to become an a**hole
