I forgot that one. It is a very good movie indeed. It is about muslim/arabs and sex; a funny mixture when people only think about them as fanatical fundamentalism.
'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'

Not that I remember... :~ Uh, are we thinking of the same movie?

It's probably a little late, but add Grosse Point Blank and Better Off Dead to that list

These are in no particular order. Some of them are non-English films, which I indicated. Many of these have elements of alternate sexuality and only a few of them would be appropriate for children (I marked those with a *, everything else is too weird for kids). Hedwig and the Angry Inch (transsexuality, adult sexuality, some violence) Run Lola Run (German, some violence) Amores Perros (Spanish, violence, animal cruelty - "Crash" is very similar but not as good) Silence of the Lambs (violence and sexual abuse) Ran (Kurosawa) (Japanese, violence) Rashomon (also Kurosawa) (Japanese, mild violence but it's off-camera, might be ok for kids - a great exploration of the effect of point-of-view) Akira (anime) (Japanese, violence and bad language) *Metropolis (Japanese, anime - somewhat similar to the 1927 film, but claimed to not be a remake of that one) *Metropolis (1927 sci-fi silent film - there is a DVD of this with music and some weird colorization) *Princess Mononoke (Japanese with a good English re-dubbing, anime) Zatoichi: the Blind Swordsman (Japanese, violence and alternate sexuality) Far From Heaven (might be ok for kids, gay situations, but no sex that I can remember) Brokeback Mountain (about 15 seconds of gay sex, would be ok for older kids) The Crying Game (transvestite, brief male frontal nudity, violence) Star Wars (A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back... the others weren't that good - violence) The Big Chill (probably OK for kids, but hard to understand) Schindler's List (has some nudity and violence, but might be ok for kids) Boys Don't Cry (not a well-made film, but great subject matter and a true story - violence and female-to-male crossdressing and sexuality - scared the hell out of me) Shiokari Pass (Japanese, explores faith - great ending - might be hard to find) There's so many more... I've been watching a lot of foreign films lately. This week I saw Solaris (Russian from 1972, kind of boring), and Yojimbo (interesting, funny, but not as good as some of Kurosawa's other stuff). I like Franke Potente (Run Lola Run and The Bourne Identity), so tonight I've got The Princess and the Warrior. I love movies :)

Boys Don't Cry really upset me too, as did Soldier's Girl (the story of Calpernia Addams relationship with Barry Winchell, and his subsequent murder by another soldier on his base). Akira is one of my partner Beth's favourites. I imagine she's really like some of the others on your list too. Thanks. :rose:

Police Story 2 (Jackie Chan)
That's a great movie. You should check out Drunken Master II if you can find it. Legend of Drunken master is an edited version that has been dubbed into English, but it isn't as good as the original.

Cool :) I did post the list on my blog in case you lose track of this. http://smoothjazzy.blogspot.com/2006/12/some-of-my-favorite-films.html I also like the Read or Die series, which was 3 short films and then a TV series in Japan. Cowboy Bebop is another good one, but it's also a TV series so I didn't put it on here. There's two Cowboy Bebop movies, but they are chronologically in the middle of the TV series, so a little weird to watch unless you're familiar with the TV series.

Originally in French, the movie[^] is very, very good. The lead actress looks like my wife :-> The French title is: Le mari de la coiffeuse The English title is: The hairdresser's husband An excellent, excellent film. I also like the Shawshank Redemption

Great film! I don't know many other people who have seen it though.
