though City of God has grown to be quite big, a lof of people have never heard of it... I recon its one of the best movies ever made
+1
"The Beach" was an awesome movie and i dont even live by any beaches..hehehe
"City Of God" is spectacular. Its a REALLY powerful movie. definately agree with you on that one.
oh yeah... and "PI". i think it won some film festival awards, but nardly anyone i know has heard of it. crazy good movie.
as for comedy i would say... "Half Baked" great flick

I agree, good show. The cast especially made me think that the movie would be very 'typical college humor'. I was surprised to find otherwise. There is a great Fred Savage cameo in this film as well.
Didn't know there was a book, I'll have to check it out.

Oh yeah absolutely, I know The Matrix used the same rooftops and sets from Dark City, but this website makes things more interesting.
Too bad I can't read the spanish text, but the photos are cool.

if you liked the movie, i'd highly recommend the book. it's one of the few movies i've seen that remained VERY true to how the book was written. the scenes where whatshisname, Kip Pardue, is all over Europe... that's practically read right from the book. although i don't think they mention Oakenfold in the book.

Kip was in character as Victor Johnson for (i think a two weeks) while Avary and another person followed him with camera's. In the process he met Oakenfold and all those other girls as well, Victor Johnson.
