I watched "Hinokio: Inter Galatic Love" last night at Opera Quay Dendy who are holding a Japanese Film Festival this week.

A very heart warming feel good movie based on a kid who is unable to leave his room due to a car crash. So in order to go to school, his old man builds a robot for him which he controls and emulate from his bedroom. Quite a touching film

The film festival is also screening Hidden Blade, which I really want to watch!

My fav. movie of all time is the Hong Kong 80's stylish classic "A Better Tomorrow" directed by John Woo, and starting Chow Yun Fat, Leslie Cheung and Ti-Lung. Revolutionary movie for it's time, heroic bloodshed at it's best!

i think that is called lone wolf and cub it is awesome

a german movie that i really like is called 'the experiment' it is one weird and twisted movie and to think it is actually based on a true story.

^^ yeap i've seen them, lots of fake blood

"Lilya 4 Eva" (Russia) is another great movie that is terribly depressing; about a girl in poverty stricken Russia whose mother abandons her to be a mail order bride to a man in the US (apparantly this happens a bit in these countries ) so the 14 year old girl has to fend for herself on the streets and ends up becoming a prostitute just so she can buy food

some great French films:

The Apartment - very wierd and mysterious love triangle (the french do these movies the best )

The Closet - this film is hilarious! this nerdy man is about to be fired from work so he pretends to come out of the closet so his managers wont fire him (he works at a Condom manufacturing plant and firing a gay guy would seem homophobic which would mean a loss of sales from the gay community) and when he pretends to be gay all the females become attracted to him Gerard Depardieu is brilliant as the macho, chauvinist

any films to do with sexuality the french do best

Is that the one about the social experiment of prisoners and guards?

it was on SBS a few weeks back, yeah, creepy movie, and based on true events which is even more worrying. My brother had told me about this experiment before, its a bit of an indictment on human behaviour that that could occur

I LOVE Foreign films!

SBS is the best!

Ive seen such funny, articulate, disgusting, etc, etc movies on SBS!

I love all the funny French Gerad Dieperdu (cant spell haha) movies, all the weird/mystical/fantasy Asian marital arts movies, the confusing Danish love movies, etc, etc.........

Its so good to see young people interested in Foreign films, not too many out there are interested in Foreign movies, let alone other Culture's & are too used to watching high-school American movies, etc.
