Jan. 11, 2008 | 8:05 PM SpeedyPac says:

Cool, you signed up like 3 days after me! That's great.

Jan. 17, 2008 | 12:56 PM Azutom says:

Ichi the Killer is one hell of a movie. My favourite as well, man.

Jan. 17, 2008 | 2:31 PM yurgenburgen responds:

Awesome :D I agree, it's amazing.

Jan. 18, 2008 | 2:23 PM RommelTJ says:

That is an impressive List!

By the way, you made a mistake here:

32. Amores Perros by Alejandro Gonzales Inarrito

It is actually Iñarritu.

I think that movie is all right.

Jan. 18, 2008 | 4:28 PM yurgenburgen responds:

Thanks for the info. I was copying it off the back of a DVD box so I must've read it wrong. Cheers :D

Are the only one I know and I haven't seen them all. But there is too much brutality in Irreversible, American History X. I mean, we don't need 10 or more brutal scenes in the movie to understand its brutal...

Also Oldboy was a nice movie, still it was a bit weird to me, I got to get used to Korean movies...

Anyway there is a couple movies I like in these ones. Its nice to see you like world cinema :)

Jan. 18, 2008 | 6:05 PM yurgenburgen responds:

If you liked Oldboy, check out the following by the same director:
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Oldboy was the sequel to this).
Joint Security Area.

And other great Korean films:
My Scary Girl (I forgot to put this in the top 50!)
Save the Green Planet!

Thanks for the comment :D

5. Gummo by Harmony Korine.
26. A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick.
36. Fight Club by David Fincher.
Yeah!
where do we see this atheist cunt movie you made, and what is it about

Jan. 24, 2008 | 4:27 PM yurgenburgen responds:

You can watch the whole thing on this page:
http://k.domaindlx.com/hollowtipp edbullets/films/atheistcunt.html
(NG puts a space in between the address, you'll have to delete the unwanted space)

If that doesn't work, you can watch it in ten parts on YouTube:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=HCAzGt 0W2fE

After watching part 1 you have to click onto part 2, etc. It's about two telemarketers (boy and girl) who are forced together and end up going on a killing spree to try and rid the world of marketing/advertisers.

Thanks for your interest :D

Actually, I found a bunch of my personal favorites on your list. City of God was such a great movie. I also loved Men behind the Sun, Requiem for a Dream, Guiena Pig Flowers of Flesh and Blood, Audition... well you get the idea most of your top 50 would be on my top 50 films list too.

Jan. 26, 2008 | 9:14 PM ClockworkTrashcan says:

I thought Atheist Cunt was an excellent movie, really had a good message of anti-commercialism and anti-mainstream. Although the ending confused me.

Jan. 27, 2008 | 6:22 AM yurgenburgen responds:

Kick ass, thankyou! :D
The ending was supposed to symbolise the inevitable destruction caused by the two characters coming together. Their (mostly her) individual worlds have been destroyed.
Cheers!

Jan. 27, 2008 | 12:04 PM ClockworkTrashcan says:

Yes that makes sense considering how much she changed throughout the movie.

Jan. 30, 2008 | 5:36 PM oddworth says:

Lol trainspotting is awsome, nice to see you included it.

Feb. 1, 2008 | 5:12 PM Dusty-Gorilla says:

Fantastic list. I managed to agree with about 30 of them!

Feb. 6, 2008 | 2:08 PM Murad136 says:

Anyone from England noticed that in those adverts where they're promoting safe sex, all the actors are shown as chavs? The producers must've done their research to see who they're trying to appeal to; all the disease-ridden chav vermin that's about.
