Recommend a movie

As the title suggests, recommend a movie - it could be the latest blockbuster you saw or an old favourite.

I'm going to watch Hachiko on Monday (hopefully, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my friends and I will be able to catch it. Has anyone seen it?

I haven't even heard of that movie :um I'm an ignorant westerner ;-;

Anyways, I recommend "Kill Bill Vol. 1"... So much better than Vol. 2. For people who like Shounen manga or action movies, this one is really good since it has a great plot, a great heroine and very surrealistic scenes.

It's made into an American film XD The lead guy's Richard Gere

Kill Bill, Geisha good stuff...heard of Hachiko, but never saw it...
Though the geisha book is much better...

Babel was interesting, I think it's worth watching it

Well it's about an Iraki(?)boy shooting a tourist...but the gun came from japan, and the tourist is gravely injured...the tourist a woman is there with her husband Brad Pitt...they have children at home, who spend time in Mexico, they get lost...I would say there's no main story-line, but each individual story contributes to the actual shooting, but that's my opinion...anyway...good movie, but very chaotic, hence the title(Babel-biblical place, god mixed the languages there, nobody understood the other)

Well yeah, that's the way that things spawned, but to me the real focus of the movie has to do with globalization. How we are all conected in one way or another, since things that happen in one part of the world can affect things that happen to you. The idea of the director was based, as Altria mentioned, on the tower of babel, but the idea was sort of modernized to show how in today's day and age, no man is an island. That's what I took from it.

Yep...I think U got everything right...though it has a main plot, the globalization thing is definitely there...it's very obvious from the title as well( I mentioned it I think )
I watched it first, becuz I heard that there was japanese speaking in the movie...and I got lucky, becuz lately, movies in which there is japanese speaking/japanese source suck(see movie adaptation of animes and holloywood-like japanese movies)

i know most people here will have seen most of if not all of his movies, but if you don't know Hiyato Miyazaki you really need to get to know him!!!!

Also, in other nonrelated movie recommendations, The Departed is AWESOMESAUCE.

i don't remember who made the topic. . . but they weren't a guest when they did. maybe they left the forum formally.

Rob Roy is a good flick too BTW!

Great movie...but in terms of story I liked Prestigeg more...it had some sci-fi to it, but I think it was better than the Illusionist...but that was great as well

Book of Eli?Anyone?

I might get booed for recommending this movie, but I found it entertaining, and lets remember that movies, though they are a great vehicle to portray ideas, is also another media made to entertain.

Having said that, I recommend the movie Nine. The visual art of the movie marveled me, and if you're up to spend a few hours away from the world it's a very interesting movie. It also has a deep side to it, and I may even go as far as to say it was inspiring, since it tells the story of a man at his breaking point. It's really entertaining and in my opinion the directing was fabulous. Some actors stand out more that others (IMO, Fergie and Kate Husdon steal the movie in just a few scenes) but the acting was good overall.

akira lol its confusing but awsome
