Alright. Um, if you like martial art films, I highly suggest Ong Bak and the following films. It's just stupid crazy, violent, and hilarious (whether it is trying to be or not).

Sounds fun. Hopefully, I can find at least most of these films on Neflix xD

The Way Back and Ong Bak are on there. And I think the Ong Bak sequels are as well.

Good to know. If only I didn't have so much studying to do tonight >.<

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned "The Lives of Others" yet.  There's that.

 

The recently released "La Grande Bellezza" is also worth seeing.

Also, if you are a fan of shock, surrealism, Salvador Dali, or The Pixies, might I suggest this classic short nightmare of a film? Un Chien Andalou.

What are those about? :3 (I would use Google but I'm scared of running into spoilers)

I actually saw it in high school, if you can believe that. We'd bring any type of films we'd want and just watch them. One of my classmates brought it in. It was gold.

[Away 2,077]

So I just watched Dogtooth for the first time...

Not sure yet if it was also the last 

[Obsolete 681]

Oh, Dogtooth. Quite the odd film, but I rather dug it.

 

If you want more perverse weirdness, check out The Piano Teacher, which I believe is on Netflix. Though something tells me you'd rather not.

I did find it interesting. Something tells me that'll benefit from rewatcing it a few times... What do you think?

I only ever watched it once, and it was a long while ago at that, so I've no clue. I myself prefer to move on to the next film and only rewatch if I felt like I missed something. If that's true for you then go right ahead.

I wouldn't exactly say I "missed" something but maybe rewatching it a few times will help me obtain a better understanding of it. There's so many WTF moments in it but I have a feeling that there's something more meaningful behind it all.

[Leavinh 313]

I definitely recommend Battle Royale. Basically, without spoiling anything, a high school class in Japan is forced to kill each other on an island. It often gets compared to the Hunger Games, but this is more of a "mature" movie. So if you don't mind a bit of gore, you should definitely check it out. The book is even better than the movie, so I also recommend that.

Battle Royale

 

Cannot believe I forgot that one myself!  

[CloserToTheSun 732]

I definitely recommend Battle Royale

Yes. However, I highly suggest the book as well. It's fantastic.

I like a German film called "Bella Martha." (Aka: "Mostly Martha" or "Meine Tante Martha.") It was remade in America under the title "No Reservations." Don't see that one, it probably sucks. See Bella Martha. It's a love story about a chef. Sorry, I'm bad with plot synopses.

 

My other recommendation is a Korean film called "A Tale of Two Sisters." (Aka: "Janghwa, Hongryeon.") This is a horror film and kinda disturbing. This was also remade in America under the title "The Uninvited." Don't see that one either. It has terrible reviews. God, what's with America and ruining perfectly good foreign cinema? Buncha sell-outs...
