I am taking a bit of a liberty here with the 'Recommend ONE film' thread, but I recommend you should see at least ONE of these three films you have probably never seen before. All are brilliant, all are foreign and subtitled and I think once seen they will get on your favorite film list

The Black Book

Downfall

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

[slidingonthewalls]

I watched a film recently that left me slightly traumatized, shell-shocked and emotionally drained.
It's possibly the most powerful film I think I've ever seen.

It's called Idi i Smotri (Come and See) and if you connect with films that actually touch you in a profound way and make a lasting impression then I highly recommend it.

On the other hand, if you (understandably) don't fancy witnessing the extent of the atrocities mankind can and has inflicted on himself, then perhaps it's not for you.

Of the ones mentioned already:

Blade Runner
City of Gods
Good Fellas
Scarface

Has Taxi Driver been mentioned? Or Raging Bull?

Also I highly recommend Bronson. Tom Hardy is just incredible in it.

Oh and if being traumatised by a film is your thing then it has to be Pasolini's Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom.

I enjoyed Lost in Translation.
I mention it because I notice that it is on Ch4 tonight, at 12.15am.

[cnh]

Old Boy, Korean film with subtitles. I didn't sleep properly for a week after!

probably in the list, but 'dead mans shoes'

[mrwyatt]

Go see suckerpunch it has samurai's with mini-guns and loads of boobies

[trevorm]

Can't beat Bill Murray. Although Christian Bale is a fine actor and has had many of the best roles in films over the last few years.

Still Can't beat Caddyshack, The Royal Tenenbaums etc, etc

[Nuart 2013]

Chris Marker "La Jetée"

If you have 29 mins, worth every second. Incredible what you can achieve with a series of stills and a great story. Film making at it's simplest, rawest and best.

Downfall

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Just remembered that "Herr. Hitler is not happy with Banksy." is from Downfall (second my list) ;D

[schnulli]

You can't beat Children of Men. The last twenty minutes or so is all one take.
Just brilliant

[Strangers Almanac]

Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. It's quite simply a masterpiece!

[rinaceirde]

Having just watched the 'documentary film' a very British gangster about Dominic noonan and family I would definetly recommend it to anyone. Oh and while I'm at it another film although it's probably already mentioned 'mesraine' starring the outstanding Vincent Cassell is well worth a watch. 5 stars for his performance alone.

Truely Madly Deeply.

Perfume

[jeezuzjonessnr]

TWIN TOWN

Great movie although there is a little swearing as the clip shows... so not suitable for when the little ones are around.

The director of this died today.
Reported on R4 that a supreme court judge said of this film that it was a defining moment in their career.
Well worth a watch, if you ahvnt seen it.

Good call that man.
I've been meaning to mention this film for a while but you beat me to it and said it better than I could have.
Probably the most powerful piece of film making I've ever seen too.
This film IS war.
See it.

Not a film i know, But did anyone see , A very dangerous doctor doco which was on last night ?
