Mononke - my nigga!
Personally, the couple of middle eastern-based films I seen have been some of the most powerful, emotionally, I ever seen. US takes the cake as far as things like budget, special effects, acting for the most part, production, but honestly movies outside the US are most of the times better at exploring human nature. Whether its the writing or different directing style or what I dont know but just seems to be like that |

Start watching more from said countries and you can't get yourself to watch more than 30 mins. Which basicly boils down to my point, the trash/dope ratio is too huge to surpass the US when it comes down to it. But once it's quality it's better than the US in terms of human interraction/emotion, storytelling and creative cinematography. (Persepolis (Fra), Ameliè (Fra) and City of God (Bra) is perfect examples of that.) But France doesn't surpass the US in general, neither does Brazil. The only real battle here is Hollywood vs Asia. But imo asia got too much trash to put up a real fight, especially after the digitalization of martial arts movies which put a huge black hole in the entire genre. But 13 Assassins shows that they still know how to make that shit, but yeah.. I don't know, I just seriously believe and feel that Hollywood wins on consistency over time. Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong, I love movie debates.

Amelie and City of God were incredible. Leon the Professional movie was rad too. Nah I agree with you pretty much man, but then I guess it comes down to cultural identity too - peeps in france might prefer shitty Euro movies to shitty US movies, while peeps in US are other way round. Frankly, everywhere got good films amongst the majority of trash and rubble, I dont get too caught up in where its from, I just wat c h the good shit lol

@Objective for real I'll take those recommendations, always lookin for new stuff to dig my teeth into
Subtitles never really bothered me tbh, easier to watch without em but they never put me off too much. Last movie I saw from scandinavia - or actually it mighta been switzerland... anyway, As It Is In Heaven. Pretty good film actually. Also recommend The Diving Bell and Butterfly was excruciating but a reaaaaallly good film |

@Ronic: As it is in Heaven is from Sweden, but yeah, it's definately a great movie. If you want some norwegian movies I'd recommend you to check out one of these:
Elling - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279064/ (When his mother, who has sheltered him his entire 40 years, dies, Elling, a sensitive, would-be poet, is sent to live in a state institution. Don't read anything more about this movie before checking it out, the less you know about it, the better.) King of Devil's Island - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1332134/ (Some fucked up movie based on revel events, and it's local history from where I'm from as well. Just a few years ago I lived at a place in my town where I could basicly see that island from my livingroom window.) Mirush - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0899216/ (A movie about some albanian boy that flees to Norway to find his father.) Sons - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473707/ (Fucked up movie, worth to check out.) Max Manus - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1029235/ (''The true story about one of the most brilliant saboteurs during World War II and his battle to overcome his inner demons.'' Brilliant movie.) The Bothersome Man - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808185/ (My personal favourite and it's pretty fucking deep too. ''In a strange city where every person seems content beyond reason a new man arrives in town and stirs up trouble by asking too many questions.'') Try to stay away from trailers etc., they're too revealing.

No problem, I removed the King of the Devil's Island trailer tho'. Figured it was kinda revealing. If you enjoy these movies send me a PM or something I'll hit you with more recomendations.
Oh, sweet, The Bothersome Man is available on Netflix. So is King of the Devil's Island @Ronic. The norwegian titles pop up tho', ''Den Brysomme Mannen'' and ''Kongen av Bastøy''.

Animal Kingdom was aight, dude from a family of criminals, and a detective wants to help him.
Shine - pianist has a mental breakdown, eventually returns to pianoing. True story, dude lived not far from me Chopper - based on autobiography of Chopper Reid. Pretty great Gallipoli - classic war movie Mad Max - Mel Gibson being a badass Candy - my fav Heath Ledger movie ever Crackerjack - comedy, you'll either hate or love our sense of humour lol tbh most our good ones are about criminals @Objective |

I've seen Animal Kingdom, Chopper (I think I've seen it, pretty sure about it) and Mad Max. All of them great movies. Haven't seen the others. Will definately check out either Shine or Candy tonight. Crackerjack whenever I feel like watching some comedy, hah.
But yo, if you or anyone else ever get to see The Bothersome Man I wanna discuss it with you. I do. I watch just as much US movies as any other place on earth. And I spend way too much time watching series/movies.
