oldboy (greatest movie ever) I agree I would also suggest Sympathy for Mr and Lady Vengeance. Taegukgi is an awesome korean war movie aswell. |

P.S. I'm also very interested in the working class as I was born into a working class family. So any movies dealing with working class struggles and the like would be good. P.P.S. Thanks for the suggestions so far! i don't know if you're into foreign films, but there are some good japanese films about the working class...ozu's tokyo story is really good, as is imamura's ballad of narayama. I'm very into foreign movies, especially Japanese ones. |

Keep this list going so I'll always have something good to get at the video store although mine doesn't have a lot of these.

wow, i'm amazed someone else referenced this... i had been searching for it for years, since it first came out, but all the local indie rental places had no idea what i was talking about when i saw that it was available on netfliix, i was sold on netflix, and it was one of the first dvd's i had them send me... it's actually a rather touching documentary, surprisingly |

I really liked a Spanish movie I saw a while ago called Torremolinos 73, which looked like (and I think is meant to be) a comedy but it really wasn't and was really quite sad overall. But I really enjoyed it.
Also an Icelandic movie called 101 Reykjavik is awesome, and has music by Damon Albarn.
And both of them are about working class struggles, in their own ways. So shazam.

anything werner herzog can't be missed. grizzley man is the most disturbing documentary i've ever seen in my life. it looks pretty simple, too, doesn't it?
but i had to watch it four times, and part of me still DOESN'T GET IT. it's so unsettling. and... it's just so strange. i love it.
the part where some animal takes his hat is hilarious, though.

and while we're on the subject of movies. is anybody else as obssess with harmony korine as i am? i own EVERYTHING korine and i've seen just about everything. i also waited in line for five and a half hours to be in the front row to see him speak live at ryerson university. i think there's a video of that lecture somewhere on the internet. they had a question and answer thing at the end of the lecture. i was too scared to ask anything. i never get scared of meeting famous people. but this time, i was. he's so intimidating.
he was as high as a kitet, too. as always. he kept falling off of his chair and sliding down it with his hands up and everything. it was amazing. he also told a story about the first time he met ol' dirty bastard, and how ODB was having an argument with a telephone pole. and how he said to a strange lady on the elevator that he wanted to "plant a seed up her ass."
so.. besides romy and michele's high schoo reunion, and dancer in the dark. please see the following:
kids
gummo
julien donkey boy
ken park
particulary gummo or julien donkey boy. out of the two, i'd have to say gummo. but all of them are great.
