Recommended Movie List for Netflix or any related service

Amores Perros
Y tu mama tambien
The Kite Runner

 

Had to watch it and do a report on it for my Spanish class - awesome, awesome movie.

 

I rented this farely new Brazilian documentry the other day that was f**king brilliant. It's called Manda Bala (Send a Bullet) and it's about kidnappings, political corruption and frogs in Brazil. It's a must for all Latins.

The girl I rented it with refused to watch a documentery and selected some cookie cutter slasher flick. That's what I get for dating below my IQ.

 

What are you doing on CF.net, then?

María Llena eres de Gracia [ Maria Full of Grace ]
El Crimen del Padre Amaro [ The Crime of Father Amaro ]
El Laberinto del Fauno [ Pan's Labyrinth ]

Donde estan tus huevos guey?

If it's Latin films you want try Nueve Rienas (Argentina). Cronos (Mexico), Abre Los Ojos (Spain), Ciudad de Dios (Brazil), anything by Pedro Almoldovar post Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios, and La antena (Argentina)

 

Good movies too...

 

I just got through watching street kings it was pretty good. I give it 2 thumbs up.

 

Español: Rosario Tijeras (Colombiana)

 

Well....what are you in too? That might be....helpful. And you can get most anything via torrent anyway, but whatever.

Here's a short list of things I'm into recently or so:
--Lost. Get the seasons and just let it take over your life.
--Weeds. I've DL'd the three seasons that are available. Entertaining Showtime show about a widowed mom who becomes the neighborhood pot dealer.
--Fawlty Towers. Classic post-Python John Cleese in classic British comedy. Some people don't get British humor. I effin' love it.

 

Son of the Bride
Nine Queens

(both from Argentina)

 

I would start a new thread but I'll put this in here.

If your interested in Latin films the MFAH is haveing a cycle next month of independent films from the motherland. I'm gonna check them all out since I'm the resident film scholar here. Hopefully by then I'll find a gal with the requisite IQ to take.
