They've got some really awesome movies, that leave the boundaries of hollywood.
The camera work is top notch and they've got some of the best stills out there, especially Chan-wook Park.
His Hollywood debut with Stoker was pretty good as well.
Oldboy.
Lady Vengeance.
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.
aka The Vengeance Trilogy
Thirst (one of the really few good vampire movies, without the stereotype bullshit and a proper take on the whole topic).
I saw the Devil (pretty intense)
New World (influences from the Godfather and some other movies)
These are some of my favorite Korean movies, there are a few more I'll watch soon though, so the list might get bigger.

Another one.
I must be going fucking crazy. Trust me Wilbur. Studio Ghibli make fantastic films and Grave of the Fireflies is one of them along with Spirited Away. Both for different reasons, but fantastic none the less.

only half. I didn't like the movie, and don't really get why so many people teared up. it was a big part of my childhood too, but the movie was just dull and pandering in all the bad ways (I thought). Only really sarcastic about the second sentence.
Up went so downhill after that fantastic opening sequence.
Another good'n. Another fantastic movie set in a similar theme 'The Last Picture Show'. Though I'm certain most people've heard of it. Great novel by McMurtry. Give it a read....then read Texasville. Then maybe checkout Lonesome Dove.

Oldboy was good, dat one-shot hallway fight scene. Didn't like some parts of it tho.
Stoker was beautiful in a strange way :lol good fun.
And Thirst, need to rewatch, but remember thinking it was brilliant at the time.

Give I saw the Devil a try, it's from the director from "The Good, the Bad, the Weird".
It's certainly different and a serious movie, he's my second favorite korean director, even though his US debut with The Last Stand was rather shitty.
And fuck me, Killer is right.
A Bittersweet Life is also pretty great.
It's to dark to see every damn Blu-Ray title from here.
anyone here read Ishiguro's the Unconsoled? remember there were a few Ishiguro fans in here. I love just about all of his other books, bar When We Were Orphans, figured I'd finally give this one a shot. slogged through the first two hundred pages, it's fucking weird, aggressively surreal... surprisingly hilarious book though. enjoying it so far.

That's the only great part of the movie, tho, after that it's just downhill.
I watched Adventureland the other day for some reason, about halfway I just had to turn it off, it was that boring.
I liked Adventureland. I guess it depends on your mood when watching it.
I only remember crying during a movie and it was a pretty shit one, but that scene near the end was pretty strong for me at the moment. It was 'About Schmidt' (2002)

Wall-E is one of my favourite films ever, the ending makes me wish falling in love could be as simple as holding hands in a post-apocalyptic earth.
Yeah, I loved the role of Schwarzenegger and he played it well.
Johnny Knoxville was shit and he nearly destroyed the movie for me :<
Miyazaki is a GOD...so unless Pixar has a GOD on their bench yet to feature..Team Ghibli with the easy win.

Just watched The Wind Rises. I give it a 8/10. Love the sound effects, art, and Jiro being engulfed by his dream. Only disappointed with how the relationship with his wife turned out as it felt rushed. Beautiful movie though.

Second one easy, Pixar has duds like Cars, and Cars 2 plus not-that-great movies like Brave.
Ghibli has never made a bad movie
FUCK YOU TALES FROM EARTHSEA ISN'T BAD

I've seen Psycho and i'm halfway thru Vertigo (should I continue?)
You're joking...tell me you're joking.

YES! CONTINUE! Then watch Rear Window and Strangers on a Train and Shadow of a Doubt and The 39 Steps and Foreign Correspondent and The Lady Vanishes!
I didn't stop because I didn't like it, just because I had things to do. But it felt a bit slowish where I left it, but I'll continue then
Thanks, will watch.

The Soissoissoisoisy Ronan one? It's absolute shite. But you can't really expect much when it's based of a Stephanie Meyer book and Andrew Niccol's brain took a giant shit after Lord of War.
Snowpiercer's pretty good. Doesn't top Memories of Murder or Mother, but I'd rather watch 1 million Snowpiercers' than the shitty super hero bullshit Hollywood keeps regurgitating.

Both are meh compared to Disney. Ghibli would probably get a lot more votes here because animu is cool on videogame forums.

These threads go by quick, damn. I don't want to be awkwardly out of place, but I was late getting news on a signing for Bayern, and I wanted to know if anyone could describe the player for me.
I understand Juan Bernat is a LB/LW, but I don't really know anything about whether or not he is any good, promising, where he plays best, what his best skills are, anything. I don't really follow Valencia, but does anyone know anything about him really
Edit: Also, why the hell is Kroos going to Real Madrid? I figured he was leaving, but that doesn't seem like the best team for his playing style. Hell I could have seen him in some of the Premier League teams, but he isn't the kind of player that I'd have expected in RM. Maybe he will surprise me, but I don't know how successful he will be there. Who's position will he even take?

Bayern should sell Ribery and start playing Julian Green. America thanks you ahead of time.

This thread is moving pretty slow to be honest, when the season is up and running it's quite a bit faster.
From the times I watched Valencia, Bernat plays like Jordi alba petty much. A good dribbler, really fast, links up well etc.
Though when I watched him I'm pretty sure he was playing as a left winger, not a left back.
I think he'll be a nice fit for Bayern but I don't see him taking alaba's or ribery's position.

I prefer Ghibli, but you never know with football gaf. The question had to be asked.
Ha, I almost have a hard time seeing him go. I think he will stay this last year and play less than before, he is starting to lose his pace and all that, it is obvious. He isn't bad yet though. I could see Green coming up to the first team and subbing in, establishing himself, but he won't start. Götze will be in that spot before Green at this point, lol. I love Götze, but I have no clue why we bought him, he doesn't really fit in any of the spots we need improvements on. Like, unless he somehow becomes a CF like Messi, I don't know what he will do well for us overall. He has underperformed as a LW, and we have a lot of CAMs. Green is promising, I don't know. When I say that this Bernat guy is also a winger, I figured he would play up top, since I couldn't see Alaba being replaced. Disappointing overall though, we need a new CB and Badstuber to stop being hurt. I am not entirely satisfied with how we are using our money in the transfer market. Hope Lewa makes Götze play better somehow.
He definitely won't replace Alaba, but I could see him subbing in for Ribery and eventually taking his spot as the season goes on or as Ribery begins to fade into his age. I am pretty satisfied from your impression though, he sounds like an alright signing for the future. I still think we should be in the market to replace Dante or even Boateng though, maybe a new holding midfielder because Guardiola hates Martinez up there. Or maybe a new RB since Guardiola won't let Lahm play in the back.
I can't stand this manager, he is making me so frustrated. How was he so successful with Barca?
