thanks for reminding me.
those movies r0xx!

there is actually two..the one you mentioned and another one...probably named shadow of the raven in english.

**immanis** · 13th July 2002

Yeah! I know... I just didn't think it was as good as the first one. There is even a third movie/tv-series kinda thing. But I have not seen all of it so I can't say if it's any good or not.

PS: Sverige har r�tt tuffa filmer ibland med. Men dom d�r isl�ndska sagorna �r det inte m�nga som sl�r!

Yes... The City of Lost Children was kickass - strange - but kickass nonetheless...

I think I remember that, it was about some kinda monkey village and there was this king or something. I wasn't very old when I watched it, had no idea what was going on

anyway:
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0180748 <-- In china they eat dogs
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0236027 <-- Flickering lights.

The last one is proably my favorite danish movie ever, I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good movie (don't we all?).
And it's extremely funny in a very morbid way

I've always been a big fan of Stalingrad (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0174240#comment). Good WW2 movie from the Soviets. Has some really brutal scenes that rival Full metal Jacket.

**Maleb** · 25th July 2002

Man bites dog. I have rented it countless times. I really should buy the damn thing. I am betting I would love Kurosawa but as I have not had a chance to see any of his movies I can't say I love them(yet)

**svcdmonkey** · 30th July 2002

either Das Boot or La Heine, but the funniest was Man Bites Dog, I had tears of laughter running down my cheeks, unfortunately no-one else I was with found it very funny, they all thought it was sick. Who had a better time watching that movie? Me I think.

LOL, you're obviously from Quebec

I don't think anyone else in the world might actually like Elvis Gratton 1 & 2 besides us... It's funny as hell, yet it's so culturally linked to Quebec that the rest of the planet might just not get it
