Saw the latest "Ned Kelly" not long a go. The write-ups for The "Proposal" remind me of that.

Been desperate to see The Proposal for months, but it isn't being released in Spain. Now that I'm back, I'm gonna have to get it rented very soon.

Incidentally the film was written by Nick Cave, which is the main reason for it topping my must-see list.

I'm always a bit concerned that films such as The Proposal will take a pretty dim view of us English types - is it the case?

Almost every film takes a dim view of us bullying English. Mel Gibson has made a career of it: see "Braveheart" and "The Patriot". Others, Rob Roy, Last of the Mohicans, Ned Kelly etc etc, love to do the same. Guess we're a bad lot. :mrgreen:

Nick Cave is a very talented man.

Yes, "Passion of the Christ" caused quite an uproar. Bet he doesn't go to Tel Aviv for his holidays. :mrgreen:

ANYWAY, I'LL RAISE YOU WITH FORREST GUMP AND HOTEL RWANDA
Good call on Schlinders List, The Pianist and Hotel Rwanda.

I'll call with Memento. Another Guy Peirce classic.

Not as powerful, but equally as good - LA Confidential and The Usual Suspects.

As for The Proposal - can't say I've heard of it but I'll certainly give it a go. I liked the Deer Hunter, but I too thought that it dragged on in parts. Hopefully The Proposal deals with this downside......

La Haine has to be up there with foreign films, especially in view of the (relatively) recent riots in France. Not sure when it was made but it's still effective at protraying the problems in French society.

Said it's the best foreign films he's ever seen.

Is that the one sub-titled "Precinct 13" ?.
