I don't remember. So they had a fun counter-point. In which case, the second one would be smarter.

China - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Japan - The 7 Samurai, Ran, more Kurosawa

When we were picking martial arts movie for viewing, I stumbled across the most hilarious article someone raving mad critic wrote about Kurosawa. He basically must not have fact checked, because first he was rabbid about how uncreative Kurosawa was about basing Ran off of King Lear (which is ridiculous considering how many stories are based off of Shakespeare, and that Shakespeare based most of his stories off the Greeks). Than, in a moment of brilliance he starts saying how overrated 7 Samurai is, since it was just ripping off the Magnificent Seven. Silly, I think it was made a good half decade before Mag 7.

Re: Favourite Movie by Country India: Sholay or DDLJ.... The thing about India is that the highest grossing pics are actually all great films.

Re: dolcevita wrote: Kypade wrote: Germany - Nowhere in Africa
Russia - Russian Ark

Good pick for Germany. I might have to change mine, I forgot about it. One of the best. Russian Ark had to be one of the biggest let-downs for me in recent years. I was so excited for it, and except for a few vignettes, I found it very trying on my patience, and not all that well crafted. I'm having trouble procurring a best Russian film actually, but I'm half way through War and Peace right now, so maybe soon. Wow! You start really big! Which part are you watching now? You should definitely see A heart of the Dog.
