This is the most amazing film ive ever seen!

Review (GOT 5STARS) at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/films/2002/12/0...3_review.shtml

"An intoxicating shot of cinematic adrenaline, "City of God" starts with a desperate chicken escaping slaughter and being chased by a gang of pistol-packing prepubescents.

It's an apt allegory for the frantic fight for survival of the protagonists in this ferocious blast of gangster mayhem.

Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) narrates our journey into the slums of Rio de Janeiro, the City of God. A child of the 60s, he witnesses two decades of barbarity, greed, rape and revenge which fuel a catastrophic gang war.

Fear and an instinct for self-preservation keep him on the straight and narrow, but his childhood associate Li'l Zé (Leandro Firmino da Hora) grows into the ghetto's godfather - a ruthless, demented killer who makes Joe Pesci's "GoodFellas" psycho look like Mary Poppins.!"

Here's one that practically NOBODY has even heard of, much less seen - LITTLE MURDERS. I saw it several times in the movies, years ago when it came out, and just bought the DVD. This is one of the craziest New York City films ever made. If you're not from New York, or another big city, you might not get it. The scenes with Donald Sutherland as a hippie minister, performing a wedding ceremony, decribing an acid party, were worth the price of admission, but the movie never made it big because it was a black comedy, written by Jules Feiffer, about random killings and people going crazy. It was directed by Alan Arkin (who also plays a manic Detective in the film), and starred Elliot Gould. Released in 1971.

Don't look at the "scene selections" on the DVD because it gives an important part of the plot away.

I just thought of another great foriegn film- Rabbit Proof Fence. This is a really good film out of Australia about some aborigine girls travelling throught the desert. Definitely worth a watch.
