I used to love "The Power of One". I think I still have the LaserDisc Upstairs. Stars Morgan Freeman, Stephen Dorff, and Daniel Craig (long before he became James Bond). www.imdb.com/title/tt0105159/ |

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Don't know why this one didn't fare too well.
I love it.

I came over here to recommend this movie and in a search noticed that you already did. This was barely even released here in the states and in fact, if I remember correctly, I saw this in a art house theater and I think I had to import my DVD copy. In a league by itself!! |

I enjoyed "The Fountain" directed by Darren Aronofsky staring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Wiesz. For me it was beautiful and thought provoking, to my wife it was just wierd  |

Highly recommended for fans of "film noire"  Dark City' is pure science fiction noir and a visual feast: a gloomy metropolis encrusted with bristling Gothic ornament, redesigned and reinvented in impressive FX sequences night after night. Making up original stories in the noirish setting is one difficult task, as you can tell by watching the movie. It is complicated and mysteriously complex, all to the point where, if you take your eyes of the film for one second, you can get lost. Every moment of your attention must be paid to the movie as it unfolds, otherwise you may perhaps not appreciate the quality and effort that movie brings on. Films like "Dark City" are the pinnacles of imagination and visual style--you look at them and wonder, how any human being could possibly create such breathtaking scenarios and stories. The movie is not for one second dull and dreary, and never for one moment a let down. The premise of the movie, outlined by Kiefer Sutherland's "mad doctor" character as we descend into the "Dark City", is that a race of aliens is dying, although they are advanced enough to control spacetime through thought alone, a process known as "tuning." His character is central to the plot of the aliens' experiments with a cast of human subjects by rearranging their memories nightly - not just within an individual, but from one person to the next. The whys and wherefores revolve around one John Murdoch, played with urgency by Rufus Sewell and shadowed throughout by John Hurt's angular, intense police detective. In this era of pretentious, over the top sci-fi films (The Matrix) Dark City stands as a triumph of imagination and will endure for years. |

I'm a huge cinema fan as well. Many people call me a "Movie Snob", so be it. I watch a bunch of foreign films because I feel the foreign film industry still views cinema as an art form first. Rather than here in the U.S. where the movie execs down the street from me in Hollywood re-hash Spiderman for the umpteenth time, cut it up to get a PG-13 rating so the kiddies can fill the seats.
Anyhow, the French always make some great films and also the Korean movies are getting really good.
Here's a couple of recommendations. Not family oriented at all so keep that in mind.
EX-DRUMMER - crazy, amazing, brutal
THE CHASER - Korean film, a thriller, amazing
VALHALLA RISING- fantastic cinematography
Honorable mentions for great oriental movies that will bend your mind. You guys may or may not have seen these or maybe mentioned them already- I didn't read the whole thread:
ICHI the Killer - Brutal and Beautiful
Audition - Same Director as ICHI - Takashi Miike
Oldboy- Good stuff
