Ah. I don't know if there is already a topic on this, but if there is, you can delete this. Thanks. (:

Kso, I like watching films. I also like telling people about good films in hopes that will go out and buy it instead of stay at home and grow fat. Haha. Here you can give little snippets about your favorite films and ramble on about its greatness. Whatever floats your boat.

When you post your film, please be sure to include:
- the language it's in (Common sense, I know)
- whether or not it's available with subtitles
- the film genre
- the director
- the translated title if it's in another language (If it doesn't have one, that's okay, too. Just post it's original title)
- the actors/actresses (The main ones, you don't have to put the entire cast)
- a small summary
- I'd ask for the rating but every country has a different system, but you can put it if you like (As in PG-13, R. Haha. But you can put personal ratings, too)
- any topics that you may think might discern people from watching it (i.e gay characters, drug use, explicit scenes, etc.)

I'll be back later with some of my picks. (:
- Back!

La Mala Educacion
- Language: Spanish
- Subtitles: Yes. As far as I know, they only come in English, French, Italian, and I think (Maybe, I'm not sure) Portugese
- Genre: Foreign, Romance, Mystery, Drama
- Director: Pedro Almodovar (Incredibly famous Spanish director)
- Translated Title: Bad Education
- Actors/Actresses: Gael Garcia Bernal & Fele Martinez
- Summary: A rising film director, Enrique (played by Fele Martinez) receives a visit from an old friend and first love Ignacio (played by Gael Garcia Bernal) who comes to him with a script for a movie (Titled La Mala Educacion) about a young boy at an all-boys Catholic school and how he was sexually abused by the Father of the school. The script also talks the young boy's affair with a fellow student and his life after Catholic school in which he became a cross dresser. Enrique, although happy that he is reunited with his first love, senses that something is wrong and sets out to find out what really happened to Ignacio.
- Rating: It received an R rating in America because a mild sex scene, and topics like homosexuality, child molestation and drug abuse.
- Warnings: Haha. Just read the above.

I know it sounds a little bit cheezy, but it's not one of those cliche romance movies. It really isn't. And yes, the sex scene is between to men (Although one is passed out cold from drinking) but it's regular movie stuff, nothing explicit. I can imagine that some people might not want to watch this movie because it involves a corrupted Catholic priest and a couple (Funny) cross dressers and some drug use but it really is a brilliant movie.
Tropical Paradise x3
Uhh.. I don't know if you [or anyone else] is up for something a bit more foreign like Bollywood. Some of the movies seriously are mindblowing. I don't know if anyone will actually give this a chance. Anyways..

The movie's name is Fanaa.
- Language: Hindi/Urdu
- Subtitles? Yes
- Genre? Foreign -> Bollywood -> Romance -> Drama -> Action
- Director: Kunal Kohli [directed some of the best works]
- Translated Title: Destroyed [in love]
- Famous Celebs: I'm only saying the hero and heroine. Kajol [huge in Bollywood, gorgeous as well], Aamir Khan [does about one movie a year which is considered VERY little in Bollywood, but that one movie is always the most amazing from the whole year]
- Summary: A blind girl leaves her parents for the first time with a dance troupe of which she is part of. On her journey, she meets the hero and he feels love at first sight. Its really sweet but it takes a sour turn. I can't say much without giving the climax away. Just trust me this movie is AMAZING. In some way theres two parts, the happy first half. And the second half which is complicated. But it's non of that 'cancer-and-s/he-miraculously-recover/die' kind.
- Rating: PG? haha, idk, there are no set ratings like in America. Theres a bit of violence, and a quick glimpse of a scene in bed phew.gif - thats all. Still a clean-cut family movie for sure ^^
- Warnings: Nothing really. Although you might think of it as a warning that its somewhat considered a musical [although I don't see why]. They talk of course. But throughout the movie they might break out into a song or five :x haha, they don't really have singers that are famous - like Britney Spears, TVXQ, SG Wannabe - in the Desi world the music they listen to is the songs they sing in the movie. It's kind of difficult to explain - if you watch the movie you'll see what I mean ^^

I have a stream and a download link. I'm busy atm so I'll add it later if anyones interested.
I will edit and add some more later~
