Hell Drivers - marvellous working class thriller about driving fully loaded quarry trucks rather quickly (R2).


Just to make sure everyone knows there is a brand new Network release of this which is well worth buying.

None to add myself (I'm a bit tired...) but District B13 as mentioned by schultzy is very good... not brillaint, certainly but enjoyable, clever and tense in equal measure which sounds like a pretty good combo!

Just a quick question... are we going to use the english title and then the original in brackets or the other way around

ie:  Downfall (Der Untergang)

or just simply the title that we know the movie as?


I don't know, I suppose, whatever everyone feels is best.  However, I think it should be uniform whatever we decide.

Yeah definitely.  Sorry I over-read it in your original post "In order to make this managable in the editing department, please post in the following format:..."

I'll edit all my Posts and put the original title in brackets then... thats the way I like to have them listed at home as well.

Ginger Snaps - low budget werewolf horror. Like Dog Soldiers it makes up for cheap, but enthusiastic effects, with a brilliant black comedy script. (R4)


correct me if im wrong, but isn't this canadian?


Yes it is.  Released in 2001, written by Karen Walton and John Fawcett, directed by Fawcett, filmed in Ontario.


Whoops! I was mixed up with something else that I can't think of at all now. In the meantime, I think Canada should get an entry... 

I also put Infernal Affairs under Korea didn't I? This page is going to make great sat-nav for DVDs!

Thank you for that pointer, Voltaire. That looks like a really good edition. Time for an upgrade, I think.

I'm surprised that few of my favorite HK movies are not on the list.

Fa yeung nin wa (In the Mood for Love) - My favorite and best Wong Kar Wai movie IMO
Xiao ao jiang hu zhi dong fang bu bai (Swordsman II) - Movie that made Brigitte Lin a household name in Asia
Ying xiong (Hero) - Beautifully shot and choreographed. I can't wait for this to come out in high def one day
Sha po lang (SPL) - Best realistic martial arts combat ever captured in film, enough said!
Ying hung boon sik (A Better Tomorrow) - John Woo and Chow Yun-fat classic and film that started a whole new genre of HK gangster film

and finally

Dip hyut shueng hung (The Killer) - Best John Woo and Chow Yun-fat film!!!

Hi,

The Netherlands:

Three from Alex van Warmerdam, available from Home Vision Entertainment:

De Jurk (The Dress)
Grimm
Kleine Teun (Little Tony)

Three from Fons Rademakers, died recently:

Dorp aan de rivier (nominated in 1960 for Oscar, best foreign film)
De Aanslag (The Assault, still available in USA on VHS) and winner of an
Oscar and Golden Globe for best foreign film in 1987
Als twee druppels water

Mike van Diem: Karakter (Character), won Oscar for best foreign film in 1998

Bert Haanstra:

Fanfare
Glas (won Oscar for best documentary in 1958)
Alleman (Oscar nominated for best documentary in 1963)

Second box of Documentaries by Johan van der Keuken is also out in the USA (Facets Video). Made preliminary profiles of both.

Last but not least, probably the best known "Dutch" film, directed by Joris Ivens: "The Spanish Earth", written by Hemingway and Dos Passos and narrated by Orson Welles


Belgium:

One from Dominique Deruddere, available in the USA from Mondo Macabro: Crazy Love. He also directed in the USA "Wait Until Spring Bandini"

Three from Harry Harrie Kümel:

Les Lèvres rouges (Daughters of Darkness, available from Blue Underground in
a two disc edition

Malpertuis
Monsieur Hawarden

There's lots more to come from Belgium, I guess.

Would be nice if the directors would be mentioned :-)

Cheers,

Piet
