Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? I don't have a preference, I just like good movies.
France happens to produce a lot of good movies recently, though.

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? I am most well versed in the films of Australia and New Zealand, France, and Hong Kong.
The Australian New Wave, as exemplified by Gillian Armstrong, Ted Kotcheff, George Miller, Peter Weir, etc., is one of my favorite cinematic eras/movements.

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? By far the shittiest output of all big countries is from Germany. It's unbelievable...especially looking at Spain and France and seeing what they are capable of.

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? At least everyone loves Run Lola Run and The Lives of Others.  _________________1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3.

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? David wrote: Lecter, who is your favorite living German director? Gosh, that's hard. I don't really love any of them, but I do enjoy most of the works of Christian Petzold and Fatih Akin. Have you seen any of the latter's movies, David? You might like them. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? David wrote: At least everyone loves Run Lola Run and The Lives of Others. I don't love Run Lola Run. And even then...it's been almost 15 years since that film. The current output leaves a lot to be desired. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? Without a doubt, Japan.

I need to see Battle Royale and Satoshi Kon's flicks.

Hong Kong.
Japan's AV films are great too, though.

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? I only see movies from the US and UK. From Mexico i rarely see them, there so damn generic and stupid, i think like 1 or maybe 2 are good to great. I cant choose a country, i love Horror flicks from Eastern and south eastern Asia.

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? My knowledge of Mexican cinema is fairly limited, though I love most of what I have seen, including Sólo con tu pareja, Cronos, and Miss Bala.

I used to watched them quite often but i pretty much hated every single one, so i just stopped. Good ones i can mention that ive actually seen... Amorres Perros, Pan's Labyrinth, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Amarte Duele, El Crimen Del Padre Amaro, Nicotina and Sexo, Pudor y Lagrimas.

Re: Favorite World cinema other than America and Britain? Yeah, Mexican movies aren't great.
Amorres Perros and Pan's Labyrinth are good, though Y Tu Mama Tambien and We Are What We Are were just ok.
