^ Oscar-nominated, Brazil-set, Portugese-speaking, hand or foot masterpiece City of God? Tooo obscure, never heard of it.

lmao I was wrong about the setting -- i'm still not sure what the setting is -- but the title is PRIMER. Came out in 06. Probably best not to look it up on wikipedia, lest you be spoiled. budget was $7000.


Bumping this as I said in the sb. Anyone seen this?

cube


Its kinda like Saw.


I just watched this, I thought the concept was good and all but I hated the characters, the only one I sorta liked was the one that got his face burned off but he was killed off 20 minutes in.

Eraserhead


This will probably go over 90% of members' heads here. Nice recommendation though.

I love sci-fi noir so...Gattaca, Dark City, Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys

^ I just tried to watch it, but on top of all the overlapping in the dialogue, it's complicated as fuck, full of scientific nomenclature that they never explain. It's completely inaccessible.

I didn't feel as if you needed to understand all the scientific jargon at the beginning. In fact I think you could even start watching about 20 minutes in and still not be much more in the dark than anyone else watching it.

Primer is a great movie.
Moon is a great movie.
The Wackness was a joke.
Cube was a joke. The whole trilogy was.


www.imdb.com/title/tt0382255/
Quality of Life/Against the Wall was a decent hip-hop related movie that follows the thread title's guidelines.

Blow Up (1966 with David Hemmings, not Blot Out with Travolta) is one of my favourite movies of all time. One of the coolest movies I've seen ever.

L'Homme du Train a.k.a Man On A Train. French. Great direction, acting and writing.

False, get your facts straight. Gummo was directed by Harmony Korine, and was one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever seen. Meanwhile, Kids was directed by Larry Clark but written by Harmony Korine and it's an awesome movie. I still recommend watching Gummo for cultural purposes.

La Haine
is absolutely amazing.
Shot in B&W and in French language. About these young dudes rocking rounds the commission flats in France getting up to all sorts of trouble and its got a bit of a deep side too

and also A Prophet which is another French movie. Came out recently and won Grand Prix prize at Cannes. About this guy who gets sent to prison and is told to kill someone or he'll be killed. Everything about it is amazing.

i can't remember the title, but there's a film about time travel in an office space kinda environment. it's meant to be a mindfuck, and it definitely had very little funding/studio backing.


that would be Being John Malkovich

edit: sorry Zilla i saw that someone answered you already.


Brick is a good movie I highly recommend it if you like noir and if a hard boiled film set in and around a high school involving joseph gordon levitt being that dude sounds good to you.

Someone here said Breathless by jean luc godard thats a cool film. i think the script was written by francois truffaut

farenheight 411 by truffaut was very good too.

eraserhead is cracked out and the baby that diarrheas all over is nasty.

check out david lynch's mulholland drive if ur interested in a lynch film but eraserhead is too weird for you. or just watch it for the sake of enjoying a good film and some nice bare titty action.

Maybe it's Primer? Being John Malkovich had a signifiant amount of funding (13 million isn't much but still)...I mean with John Malkovich, Cameron Diaz, John Cusack and directed by Spike Jonze that ain't no cheap ass movie.

Primer on the other hand was made with barely any money...only 7 thousand dollars.
