i saw Cidade De Deus (City of God) last night, and it was fairly excellent. (
http://imdb.com/title/tt0317248/usercomments for more detailed opinion on it.) also saw a bbc documentary feature called The War Game which was about the effect of a possible nuclear war during the cold war, it was made in the 60's - and got subsquently banned after government intervention, whilst very grim, i found it a good watch.
some time ago i watched a movie called Requiem for a Dream, which at first watch i thought was mindblowing, the effect rapidly decreased on second and third watch but neverthelethe constant draining & desolute nature of the film still serves to make it a very strong film and i'd recommend it to anyone, though i'm not sure i'd say it's "enjoyable" - but it sure as hell is
something, it's hard to describe. infact, i was more or less speechless after the first viewing.
i'm probably watching blue velvet and all about lily chou chou soon too.
edit: nod, i still think you give far too much credit to batman begins, i'm really not sure how anyone can forgive that retarded villain. am i alone in that? i really can never forgive films with a bad second half or endings, or with some ridiculous concept fitted in, etc.
