Here's a list of the last few movies I've watched along with my ratings. Do you have any movies/directors to recommend?
Breaking The Waves: 6.5/10. Much, much too dark for my tastes.
Walkabout: 7/10 Interesting movie, but weak story.
machuca: 8/10 Very good view of Pinochet's coup in Chile as told by kids
Czech Dream: 8.5/10 Very interesting and funny exploration of consumer culture
Moolaade: 6/10 Culturally interesting, but weak acting and story
Dancer In The Dark: 9.5/10 Lars Van Triers best to date. Emotionally brilliant
Brazil: 7/10 Some brilliant moments, and some disctintly mediocre ones
Gandhi: 8.5/10 Excellent show.
Amadeus: 7/10 Interesting and fun, but a little too slow paced
Life Is Beautiful (La Vita è bella ): 9/10 Beautiful movie. Well acted/very funny/very good story
Etre Et Avoir: 9/10 Brilliant documentary about life in a country primary school in rural France.
No Mans Land: 7/10 Good story, but it seems very confused as to whether it is trying to be a comedy or a tragedy.
The Corporation: 9/10 Excellent documentary detailing how the rule of the corporation is affecting our lives and the planet as a whole.
A Very Long Engagement: 7/10 nice movie.
Ong Bak: 7.5/10 Good Muay Thai action movie and rated as such
My Life As A Dog: 8/10 Very quirky movie about a boy growing up in 50's Sweden
Pather Panchali: 6/10 Culturally interesting, but nothing story
Beijing Bicycle: 7.5/10 Nice movie
Rabbit Proof Fence: 8/10 Good movie exploring the acts of genocide committed by the Australian government in the 30s
Cinema Paradiso: 8.5/10 Fantastic movie. Maybe a little drawn out, but enthralling.
Capturing The Friedmans: 8/10 Very interesting documentary about the Friedman family, made all the more interesting by the fact that they had video'd nearly everything of import to the family forever.
Zatoichi: 7/10 Nice story. Not as epic as Hero or Crouching Tiger, et al.
Old Boy: 7.5/10 Very strange Korean story. Worth a watch if you're into action/thrillers.
Baraka: 9.5/10 No actors, no dialogue, sheer brilliance.
