City of God

[Hydrizzle]

If anyone hasn't seen this movie, go rent it or download it now! It's a Brasilian movie about the Rio de Jeneiro slums, and the gang activity in them. Great acting, great story, and touches on great issues. Easily top 5 movies, even though it's in Portuguese. Highly explicit and not reccomended for the weak.

Been looking for a good movie to rent and i pass by that movie everytime.
Thanks for the tip. Next time instead of passing it up, i will rent it.
Haave you seen Money Tree? Different genre but it is about a California grower. It's pretty cool...

This movie is the ultimate gangsta movie. Forget about LA/Harlem/Brooklyn/whatever, this is the true meaning of life on the streets. This movie rocks :D

Flesh knows his stuff. This movie deserves like 10 oscars, no joke! Just thought I'd start a thread praising the best foreign movie i've seen.

It's even cooler when you realize this is based on a true story...

Yeah that movie is very good. Rented it once and saw it twice in two days. Theres like 8 year old kids packing guns and killing peopl and shit. Also in my top 5. Great flick.
