Broken Embraces dir by Almodovar.

About love, betrayal and film making. Fine film.

Penelope Cruz is the most beautiful woman on the planet...

Oldboy will put you off calamari for life. Great film mind.

I've still to see an Almodovar film, to my shame. William, best place to start?

Infernal Affairs for me, I loved Battle Royale for its sheer mental brutality, but the Infernal Affairs trilogy (later to become remade by the Americans as The Departed) just about sneaks it!

His 'breakthrough' movie 'Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown' is a good place to start. Follow with 'Volver' - about two/three years old, but a personal fave amongst the recent work...

After those two you'll know if you 'get' him or not. I do... :D

Plenty don't. For them i feel sorry... :mrgreen:

Last night I watched Man on Wire. Quite enjoyed it even the rather silly to Malcolm McDowell homage from Clockwork Orange. Especially since Phillip Petite bears a striking resemblemce to Mr. McDowell.

Oh, do beg your pardon. I'd have been quite happy to stick with the first one, much prefer it in fact.
